Mercury Step controller module for positioners with 2-phase stepper motors

1 axis. Microstep resolution: 1/2048 full step. Closed-loop operation. Point-to-point motion, trapezoidal velocity profile. Fast-running motor, even at lower operating voltage.

Technology

Interfaces

Differential signal transmission for digital (A/B) encoder signals. Inputs for TTL signals for limit and reference switches. Input for RS-422 signals for index switch. I/O lines (analog / digital) for automation.

Functionality and software

Powerful macro programming language. Nonvolatile macro memory, e.g., for stand-alone operation with autostart macro. Data recorder. ID chip detection for fast startup. PID controller, parameters modifiable during operation.

Extensive software support, e.g., for NI LabVIEW, C, C++, MATLAB, Python. PIMikroMove user software.

Installation and operation

Plug-and-play installation in the C-885 PIMotionMaster: Can be inserted in any free slot. Automatic detection and external communication by the processor and interface module of the C-885. Expandable by optional digital inputs and outputs. Power supply via the power adapter of the C-885.
