DPE25601

The DPE25601 is a single-axis 2.5A bipolar microstep driver/controller, containing 2 Kbytes of nonvolatile stored programming space, quadrature encoder feedback, and a 24W power supply, all enclosed in a package. It provides flexible, independent control of bipolar stepper motors with a current range from 0.5 to 2.5 Amp/phase with a microstepping resolution of 1,600 steps per revolution from a computer or any machine controller with a serial port. It is also capable of standalone operation, making it an embedded machine controller. The easy-to-use Windows software, SMC60WIN, can be used to directly control motion and to program the DPE25601. The DPE25601 also has real-time function capabilities.

• Single-Axis Driver Pack with Programmable Controller
• Contains a Microstep Driver with an Output Capacity of 0.5 to 2.5 Amps
• Contains a Programmable Controller with 2 Kbytes of Non-Volatile Stored Programming Space and Quadrature Encoder Feedback
• Contains a 24 Watt Power Supply Packaged in an Enclosure
• With 40 Commands, Driver Pack Provides Flexible, Independent Control of Stepper Motors From Computers, or any Machine Controller with a Serial or USB port

The DPE25601 has 40 commands, which are easy to remember for direct movement of the stepper motor, and communicates via either an RS232 or RS485 bidirectional serial data bus. Up to 99 DPE25601s can be networked from one communications port on your PC or PLC, utilizing the RS485 communications protocol. Special functions of the controller include 8 programmable open collector outputs and 6 TTL, CMOS and 24V compatible inputs, a quadrature encoder input with the ability to auto-correct, an analog input to control either maximum speed or absolute position, registration mark indexing during a slew command, an output that will trigger during an index command at an absolute position, and a thumbwheel input for indexing a motor. The DPE25601 can be powered from 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hz.
