Stepper motor drive system outputs up to 2.6A rms per phase for full step, half step, or microsteps
The drive can be used with rotary stepper motors or stepper motor-based linear actuators and can be configured for full step, half step, or microstep (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64 step size). The DCM4826X is suitable for multi-axis stepper motor applications because less overall mounting real-estate is required due to the small size of the drive. In multi-axis motion systems, the space savings becomes greater as more axes are required. The mounting plate of the totally enclosed unit measures 64x60mm with mounting hole center-to-center distances of 52x38mm respectively. Total thickness of the unit from the mounting plate is 34.4mm. The DCM4826X is configured through the Haydon Kerk PDE User Interface via an RS-485 protocol or a computer USB port (USB to RS-485 converter required). Through the interface, the desired values for Run Current, Hold Current, Delay Time, and Step Size can be set. Once the parameters are programmed, the drive can then accept the pulse, direction, and enable signals from the controller/indexer. The pulse, direction, and enable signals are optically coupled into the drive, providing electrical isolation between the signal and power circuits.
