DPY50601

The DPY50601 is a single-axis 5A bipolar microstep driver/controller, containing 2 Kbytes of nonvolatile stored programming space, quadrature encoder feedback, and a 125W power supply, all enclosed in a package. It provides flexible, independent control of bipolar stepper motors with a current range from 0.5 to 5.0 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 DPY50601. The DPY50601 also has real-time function capabilities.

• Single-Axis Driver Pack with Programmable Controller
• Contains a Bipolar Microstep Driver with an Output Capacity of 0.5 to 5 Amps
• Incorporates a 40-Command Programmable Controller, with a Power Supply in an Enclosure

The DPY50601 has 40 easy-to-remember commands for direct movement of the stepper motor, and communicates via an RS232 or RS485 bidirectional serial data bus. Up to 99 DPY50601s 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, 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 DPY50601 can be powered from 90-135 VAC, 50/60Hz.
