Product Description:
The Kollmorgen SMC-401 Bipolar Chopper Driver Full/Half Stepping Programmable Motion Controller is a motion control solution that is both versatile and specifically manufactured for the precise management of stepper motors. To facilitate various automation applications, the SMC product incorporates a variety of programmable control options and communication capabilities.
The SMC-401 401 Bipolar Chopper Driver Full/Half Stepping Programmable Motion Controller guarantees compatibility with a variety of stepper motor configurations by operating within an input voltage range of 16-32 VDC and offering current ratings of 2A and 4A. In addition to home and limit inputs, the controller features four programmable general-purpose inputs. These inputs allow for a wide range of control configurations to be developed. An "E" stop position capture input, four programmable general-purpose outputs, and a special busy output are also part of the controller. A dedicated, busy output is one of the additional characteristics. The utilization of an RS-232C serial interface makes communication more straightforward. A continuous exchange of data, that is required for the execution of commands, is made easier by this interface. Its optically segregated inputs improve signal integrity by allowing for more exact detection of commands during activity execution.
The motion controller contains onboard memory for program storage and automatic execution, and it supports both full and half-stepping control. The SMC-401 motion controller is highly user-friendly for system integrators and engineers, as it utilizes an English-friendly command set that enables the programming of motion control functions. Wake Industrial offers a 1-year warranty when purchased and offers same-day shipping options worldwide.
