The 256 microstep MSST5-S also incorporates features such as automatic system status monitoring and display, antiresonance, torque ripple smoothing and command signal smoothing.
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.
