DPC50501 | Anaheim Automation, Inc.

The DPC50501 is a single axis programmable controller, a 5 Amp bipolar microstep driver, and a 48VDC 65W power supply package. It provides flexible, independent control of bipolar step motors with a current range from 0.5 to 5.0 Amps and microstepping resolutions of 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 16, 32 and 64. The easy to use software, SMC50WIN, can be used to directly control motion and to program the controller. The DPC50501 also has real-time function capabilities. A “direct mode” is used to directly control motion for real-time movements through serial communication. The DPC50501 has 20 commands that are easy to remember for direct movement and uses the RS485 communication protocol, so up to 32 units can be networked together from one communications port on your PC or PLC (programmable logic controller). The DPC50501 also has 2 programmable “open drain” outputs and 4 TTL compatible inputs and can be powered from 105 VAC to 130VAC. The DPC50501 is direct replacement in size and connections with Anaheim Automation’s DPC40501. The upgrades to this unit include higher resolution and higher motor currents.
