Drive to optimise stepper motor performance
The ViX Microstepper is designed to optimise stepper motor performance across the speed range 0 to 50rev/s, and squeezes up to 200W shaft power from an industry standard NEMA34 frame stepper motor.
Industrial DC stepping motors are CE-marked
Total Motion Systems (TMS) manufactures one of the largest ranges of CE-marked industrial DC stepping motors in the world.
The drive uses the same package as the ViX stepper drive and the highly integrated design makes it low cost and high performance.
ViX is suitable either for direct panel mounting or, using an optional adaptor, for attachment to a standard DIN rail.
Together the stepper and servo versions are an ideal product range for OEMs wishing to minimise system costs when configuring multi-axis automation, or creating machinery ranges.
The ViX servo drive uses field oriented digital control technology to give enhanced dynamic performance with improved efficiency, and the power stage uses full PWM control with sinusoidal commutation.
The drive can be used with either encoder or resolver feedback and can correct most motor and feedback wiring errors automatically.
To assist with setting up a tuning routine in the front end software shows the system response on an oscilloscope display.
The ViX servo is available either with a built in intelligent controller or as a base version controlled by step and direction or analogue input signals.
The intelligent version is programmed over RS232C and can run stand alone, using stored programs, or it can act as an intelligent peripheral acting immediately on ASCII commands over the interface or optional RS485 or CANopen fieldbus ports.
Its modular construction also allows for other fieldbus systems to be used in future.
