Cost effective and compact stepper
controller
The PVP152 is a microprocessor based single axis stepper control board with an integral bipolar chopper drive, having an adjustable motor output current of up to 1 Amp per phase
Demand for a user friendly, cost effective and compact Stepper Motor Controller has led Alzanti, the Camberley based designers and manufacturers of stepper motor drives and control systems, to develop the PVP152 The PVP152 is a microprocessor based single axis stepper control board with an integral bipolar chopper drive, having an adjustable motor output current of up to 1 Amp per phase

Stepper drive offers high current in small unit
The new compact PVP192 Bipolar Stepper Motor Drive, manufactured by Alzanti, measures in at only 89 x 76 x 38mm yet can deliver continuous currents of up to 2 Amps per phase.
The 160mm x 100mm Eurocard can be controlled over a standard serial link from a personal computer or a data terminal, using standard ASCII command strings.
The PVP152 can also function in 'stand alone' mode by using its internal programmable non-volatile memory.
A powerful instruction set makes the controller very easy to program and use, and up to 15 boards can be 'daisy chained' from one serial port, when used in computer mode.
In addition to the above, the board has 8 general purpose inputs and 8 general purpose outputs together with dedicated datum, limits, emergency stop, jog inputs and a 'run' program input.
If more motor power is needed than the on-board drive can supply then pulse and direction signals are available to feed into our very popular range of larger stepper drives.
