The PCL501PC programmable controller is an economical single
axis step motor controller containing 2 Kbytes of non-volatile
stored programming memory. It provides flexible, independent control
of step motors with clock and direction outputs from computers or
machine controllers with a serial port. It is also capable of
stand-alone operation making it an embedded machine controller. The
easy to use Windows software, SMC50WIN, can be used to directly
control motion and to program the controller. The PCL501PC
programmable controller also has the ability for real time
functions. A "Direct Mode" is used to directly control motion for
real time movements through serial communication. The PCL501PC
programmable controller has 20 commands which are easy-to-remember
for direct movement of a step motor. The controller communicates via
RS485 communication. Up to 32 units can be networked from one
communications port on a PC or PLC. A RS232 version (the PCL501PC)
is available for single unit communication. The PCL501PC
programmable controller has 2 programmable open drain outputs and 4
TTL compatible inputs. It can be powered with DC (5-24VDC) or AC
(8-16VAC) voltages. It’s compact size and mounting provisions make
it simple to install.
