Product Description:
The Kollmorgen SMC-500 stepping motor controllers are high-performance, programmable motion controllers designed for precision applications. As a reputable manufacturer of industrial drives, Kollmorgen ensures reliable motor control solutions that integrate advanced motion features for industrial automation.
The SMC-50 stepping motor controller supports a voltage input range of 16-32 VDC through the J4 power input, with a current rating of 2A and an output current of up to 4A. The controller features a bipolar chopper driver design and supports RS-232C serial communication through the J2 connector. Additionally, it allows for the transfer of data at baud rates that may be adjusted for maximum efficiency. Each of the phase winding terminals on the motor connector J5 is labeled with the letters A and B. The J1 I/O connector provides programmable general-purpose inputs and outputs, offering four inputs (IN 0 to IN 3) and four outputs (OUT 0 to OUT 3), in addition to dedicated ground pins. These inputs and outputs can be used for a variety of purposes. The configuration DIP switch (CTS 206-8) allows motor controller address selection and communication settings. Optically isolated inputs provide enhanced signal integrity.
The SMC-50 motor controller includes advanced features like micro-stepping support for increased resolution and speed. The controller’s unique mode indexing feature allows for precise, high-speed motion profiles. The controller supports position capture inputs for home, end limit, and emergency stop functions. The BUSY signal pin in the RS-232 interface ensures that the controller's status is accessible. This SMC controller also shares compatibility with other models that makes it versatile for various motion control requirements. Wake Industrial offer worldwide delivery for automation products and a standard one-year replacement warranty for all motion control products.
