Astrosyn's new compact P780 Multi-function Bipolar Drive Module incorporates microstepping at the price levels normally associated with conventional full and half-stepping bipolar drives.

Astrosyn's new compact P780 Multi-function Bipolar Drive Module incorporates microstepping at the price levels normally associated with conventional full and half-stepping bipolar drives.

The module has exceptional microstepping capability, offering eight levels of resolution down to a minimum of 10,000 microsteps per rotation.

Driven in this mode, stepper motors achieve not only very high angular resolution, but also ultra-smooth slow speed performance, with low levels of noise and vibration.

A versatile drive current range from 1.4-6A/phase makes the module suitable for high power applications, and both small or large motor frame sizes.

Peak current can reach up to 8.4A/phase, from a supply voltage range 24-75V.

If microstepping is not required, the module can be switched to traditional full or half-stepping via front panel selection.

The P780 is TTL/CMOS compatible and safeguard features include photo isolation, over-heat protection and auto-current down.

The housing presents a compact fascia of 54mm x 140mm, with a rear projection of 98mm.
