Servo driver emulates a stepping motor
Addressing the OEM market for DC Brush Servo needs up to 1kW, the Stepping Servo drive allows upgrades from stepper to servo, without the design-in of a servo controller
Protobyte has introduced a DC Brush Servo motor driver, which uses existing Step/Direction controllers to emulate a stepping motor Addressing the OEM market for DC Brush Servo needs up to 1kW, the "Stepping" Servo drive eases the designers burden by permitting upgrades from stepper to servo, without the design-in of a Servo controller
An enhanced version also provides "Step Multiplication" of 1, 2, 4, 5, or 10 of each Step command input to the drive, further reducing the controllers overhead and allowing the 250,000 steps per second to be realized.
The company comments: "It seems the saying 'Good things come in small packages' certainly applies to this new line of under-$200 motor drives".
