DPY50611

The DPY50611 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 DPY50611. The DPY50611 also has treal 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 DPY50611 has 40 easy-to-remember commands for direct movement of the stepper motor, and communicates via a USB data bus. A windows driver is provided to communicate with the DPY50611 through a virtual comm port from the PC. This driver will turn any USB port into a virtual comm port, thus enabling simple serial programs to send information to the DPY50611. To use the SMC60WIN software, the virtual comport driver must be installed. 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 DPY50611 can be powered from 90-135VAC, 50/60Hz.
