| New Modular Stepper Driver |
|
Outside-the-box designs for motion control can now take advantage of the “CNC-in-a-box” concept of intelligent modular motion control products from OES Inc.; NewtonWorx™ Motion Controls. This smart recipe for machine building - plug in motor drives, add a processor option – provides a complete low cost CNC control system ready to incorporate into your machine design; essentially plug ‘n’ play capability.
As part of the NewtonWorx™ Motion Controls line, the Model NMS 225-A driver board features a dual axis design, which is expandable to six axes, with an embedded “smarts” option for controlling bipolar stepper motors with currents of up to 2.5 amps per phase and up to 24Vdc. The modular design dramatically reduces machine development time by allowing the addition of motor driver boards, processor boards and custom interfaces as required. Advanced options such as Ethernet, wireless, or USB interfaces, are available on-board for complete high level communication with computers or PLC’s. The NMs 225-A driver board features selectable micro-stepping up to 1/8th microstep with optional 1/16th microstep, optically isolated inputs, limit switch inputs, as well as diode and fuse protected motor control outputs. In addition, the NMS 225-A offers many advanced features including circuitry for noise immunity, power regulation, over and under voltage shut down, crossover, and thermal protection. For more sophisticated applications, the advanced design incorporates interfaces for encoders, limit switches, controlling relays as well as many devices normally controlled in machine environments. The processor board option provides the capability to have customized applications for custom machine designs. Machine designers can add or change programming as required. OES can work with system integrators and designers to customize products to incorporate into a design. Operation of the NMs 225-A with off-the-shelf CNC software is easy. The signal inputs for the board are standard step, direction and enable inputs, allowing control with a standard PC parallel port. The inherent flexibility allows users to develop custom solutions to their requirements.
