DPN10601

The DPN10601 is a single-axis 10A bipolar microstep driver/controller containing 2 Kbytes of nonvolatile stored programming space, quadrature encoder feedback, and a 300W transformer, all enclosed in a package. It provides flexible, independent control of bipolar stepper motors with a current range from 1.5 to 10.0 Amps/phase with microstepping resolutions from 200 steps per revolution to 12,800 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 DPN10601. The DPN10601 also has real-time function capabilities.

• Single-Axis Driver Pack with a 1 to 10 Amp Microstep Driver, a PCL601XCE Programmable Controller, a Matched Power Supply, and Cooling Fan
• Can Operate from a Computer or Any Machine Controller with a Serial Port
• Capable of Standalone Operation as an Embedded Machine Controller
• Microstepping Resolutions: 200 to 12,800 steps/revolution
• Easy-to-Use Windows Software Included

The DPN10601 has 40 easy-to-remember commands for direct movement of the stepper motor, and communicates via either an RS232 or RS485 bidirectional serial data bus. Up to 99 DPN10601 units can be networked from one communications port on your PC or PLC using 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 autocorrect, and 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 DPN10601 can be powered from 90-265 VAC, 50/60Hz.
