SmartDRIVE-S3

SmartDRIVE-S3 belongs to the bipolar stepper motor position controllers family. It is a complete ready-to-run unit, comprising a programmable positioning controller, the PWM power output stage, and all the necessary control interfaces. Predefined motion control sequences can be executed autonomously. Additional profiles can be specified via the serial bus whenever required. The output stage features two high performance sinusoidal current control loops. External interfaces comprises opto-isolated control I/Os, limit switch inputs, analog inputs, an incremental encoder interface and a serial communication port.

All parameters and controller firmware are accessible over the serial interface using a Windows-based software.
