DC motor controller Stepnet STP series

stepperCANopenRS-232

Stepnet STP is a stepping motor drive that combines CANopen networking with 100% digital control of stepping motors. When used with Accelnet™ and Xenus™ digital servo drives, it makes possible brushless, brush, and stepping motor control over the same distributed network. In Servo Mode, steppers fitted with encoders can be operated as DC brushless servo motors in current, velocity, or position modes. This enables the motor to operate at higher RPMs without stalling, which may occur in open-loop operation as a stepper. Stepnet can operate as a stand-alone drive accepting incremental position commands from step-motor controllers in Step/Direction or CU/CD format, as well as A/B quadrature commands from a master-encoder. Pulse to motor position ratio is programmable for electronic gearing.
