SPECIFICATIONS
Electrical
- Targeted for bipolar, two phase stepper motors with current ratings of 0.25A to 1.5 A. The current limit value is set by the manufacturer
- Power supply voltage ranges from 12V to 36V
- Overcurrent, overvoltage and temperature protection
- Synchronization Input and Output
- Encoder Inputs for stall detection (shared with Synchronization Input)
- Revolutions counter input (shared with Synchronization Input)
USB Expansion
- Each 8SMC1-USBhf controller card comes with an integrated USB hub to allow easy system expansion of additional single- or multi-axis controller cards
- Additional controllers can be connected directly to the computer in use or via any other controller card in the system. In either case, the software will appropriately recognize the added controller card(s) and treat all connected controllers as a system
- Two USB expansion ports can be found on each controller card. Note when ordering encased cards that only the single-axis controller has access to the USB expansion outputs on the rear panel of the unit
