Modular Stepper Motor Controller (MSMC Series)

Lesker Modular Stepper Motor Controller (MSMC Series)

Introduction

The Kurt J. Lesker KZMSMC integrated stepper motor controller provides a cost effective solution to a wide range of applications that require accurate manipulation of the driven mechanism. The Kurt J. Lesker KZMSMC incorporates a less sophisticated software interface to that of the KZSMC range.

• Single and Multiple axis control
• Complete system solution
• Plug & run simplicity
• Programmable positioning
• Optional closed loop control
• Matching size 17–34 frame motors
• Bench or rack mounting options
• 0.5 to 3.5 A per phase current output
• 48 VDC

A user friendly command line interface is used to communicate to the KZMSMC via a host computer. The commands are inputted as a string of ASCII characters that can then be transferred via the RS232 or RS485 connection to the controller. A number of strings can be stored in the KZMSMC's on-board memory to form a sequence of moves that can be triggered by the available inputs.

Simply connect the intelligent drive to a PC, motor, travel limits etc, and an AC power supply using cables provided, and the system is fully operational.

Features

• Integrated power supply for direct connection to AC supply
• Choice of 115 or 230 Vac, 50 or 60Hz operation

• Up to 99 units can be daisy chained to a single port
• Internal memory stores sequences for stand alone operation
• Programmable position, acceleration, deceleration & velocity
• 8 in and 8 out programmable digital I/O to interface with other process functions
• Dedicated inputs for limits and datum references
• Optional jog box for manual operation
• Choice of matched size 17, 23 & 34 frame motors
