The stepper
motor control card is an
easy-to-use, plug-and-play
and
cost effective
solution for single and multi-axis
motion control applications.
It may be used as a stand-alone unit or may be commanded by an external device.
This series supports up to 4 axes of motion, 16 TTL / CMOS compatible
inputs, 16 TTL / CMOS compatible outputs, 3 analog inputs, and up to
five optical encoder inputs. The command port is provided for
stand-alone operation.
The
powerful programming instructions with more than 120 commands include
motion control, system configuration, data flow, program flow commands,
32-bit logical and mathematical operations, and other miscellaneous
instructions.
This card can also be operated using an analog joystick or a trackball
with quadrature outputs.
The speed of the motor is
proportional to the tilt angle of the joystick or the rotational
speed of the trackball. The
joystick has three
speed selection keys; fast, medium and slow speed.
The card may
be controlled in different ways;
1)
Stand-alone Operation of Stepper Motor Control Card
In this mode, the controller does not need an
external device such as a PC to operate. The
controller is programmed in a simple programming
language. The code is developed, downloaded to the
controller, run and saved in the controller's
non-volatile memory using the supplied Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) software.
2)
Externally Control Operation of Stepper Motor
Control Card
In this mode, the external host such as a PC,
micro-controller or PLC sends a series of commands
to the controller via the RS-232 serial port. The
controller processes and performs the incoming
commands and responds with proper messages.
3)
Operating the Stepper Motor Control Card Using the
Supplied Control Panel
The supplied user friendly Control Panel software
allows the user to set-up the module quickly. The
operator is able to move the mechanism to
different positions by pressing the corresponding
buttons of the Control Panel or by using the
joystick and/or trackball.
4)
Operator Interface Terminal
The terminal allows the user to operate the
controller without needing an PC, PLC or host
controller. The user friendly interface design
allows the user to enter the motion parameters and
make the move.

The card can also be operated using an analog joystick or a

speed of the motor is proportional to the tilt angle of the
joystick
or the rotational
speed of the trackball.
