The SMC100CC is a single-axis motion controller/driver for DC servomotors up to 48V DC at 1.5A RMS, available for just under Eur 600.
Available from Newport Corp, the SMC100CC is a single-axis motion controller/driver for DC servomotors up to 48V DC at 1.5A RMS, available for just under Eur 600 (with power supply).
It provides a very compact and low-cost solution for driving most of Newport's DC motor stages, including the popular ILS linear stages, URS rotation stages, CMA-CCCL and LTA actuators.
Communication with the SMC100CC is achieved via the integrated RS232C interface, or from a USB port using the external adapter SMC-USB (requires Windows operating system).
Intuitive, Windows-based software supports all configurations and enables basic motion.
Advanced application programming is simplified by an ASCII command interface and a set of two-letter mnemonic commands.
When used with Newport ESP enhanced positioners, the SMC100CC will detect the connected product automatically for the most straightforward system configuration.
This exclusive Newport feature does not only reduce configuration time, but provides also the best protection of your equipment from any accidental damages.
Up to 31 controllers can be networked through the internal RS485 communication link.
This internal multidrop full-duplex serial link simplifies communication to several units, without the need for sending "address selection commands".
This results in enhanced multi-axis management with improved program readability and faster communication compared to alternative systems based on an RS232C chain.
The SMC100CC also features advanced "multi-axis" commands, such as "stop all" or "start a motion of all axes" and performs at a 56Kbit/s communication speed.
