Product Description:

The SS2000I-V from Kollmorgen is part of the SS2000 SLO-SYN Drives series and functions as a standalone stepper drive and indexer for industrial automation. Designed for cabinet installation, the unit supplies regulated power and executes stored motion programs that synchronize stepper motors with external sensors and actuators. Its role is to advance or halt loads at precise step increments, allowing automated equipment to perform repeatable pick-and-place, feed, or cut cycles without an external PLC.

Its power section accepts a universal mains input of 90–265 VAC at 50/60 Hz, eliminating selector switches when machines are exported. Internally, the controller manages coordinated motion across 2 axes while maintaining mark accuracy within ±1 microstep. Field wiring is simplified by 16 digital inputs for limit switches or homing sensors and 8 digital outputs that can energize relays or indicator lamps. Two rotary BCD switch banks permit operator selection of job numbers without connecting a computer, and serial communication over RS232 or RS485 provides remote parameter edits or status monitoring.

For peripheral devices, the controller offers a 24 V fieldbus that can source 24 VDC at 0.75 A to the I/O block, removing the need for a separate power supply. The pulse generator drives external stepper amplifiers at up to 48 MHz, so high-resolution microstepping is preserved even during rapid accelerations created by trapezoidal, S-curve, or hyperbolic ramps. Application logic is held in battery-backed BRAM with a capacity of 400 lines, allowing stored move sequences to execute automatically after power-up. When connected through the built-in serial port, commands stream at 9600 baud, a rate that balances noise immunity on long RS485 runs with adequate download speed for small program files.
