Parker Electromechanical
E-DC Microstepping Drive

Key Features

Performance

  • Designed for use with motor inductance range of 0.2 mH–80 mH
  • Three-state current control allows the drive and motor to run cooler and more efficiently than two-state drives
  • Selectable resolution up to 50,800 steps/rev
  • Auto standby reduces motor current (and heating) at rest
  • Provides 0.2 Amps to 4.8 Amps (peak)
  • Single 24-48 VDC power supply input
  • Compatible with a variety of motors
  • Six predefined current wave forms to optimize smoothness

Protection

  • Optically isolated step and direction inputs
  • Short circuit protected—phase-to-phase, and phase-toground
  • Power dump circuitry to protect drive from regeneration caused by large inertial loads
  • Self-test feature to verify proper system operation
  • Overtemperature circuitry protects the drive from thermal damage

Physical

  • Status/fault LED indicators to confirm proper operation
  • ASIC and surface mount technologies minimize product footprint, overall package size, and increase product reliability
  • Removable snap-on molded cover for convenient configuration and protection against contaminants
  • Optically isolated fault output for embedded applications
  • Heat plate design allows thermal dissipation through a suitable heat dissipating mounting surface
  • Simplified, two-screw mounting
  • Right-angle screw terminal allows side-to-side mounting or Eurorack compatibility
  • Overall dimensions 5.0 x 3.6 x 1.6 in. (127 x 91 x 41 mm)
  • Convenient configuration DIP switches
  • Certified as UL-recognized component
  • CE (LVD & EMC)
