AllMotion: 4 Axis Stepper Motor Driver Controller EZ4AXIS23WV
4 Axis Driver + Controller with Dual
Encoders measuring only 2.25" x 2.25"!
The EZ4AXIS23WV was designed to allow
the rapid
implementation of multi axis stepper motor solutions in products requiring
automation.
Measuring only 2.25" x
2.25" X 0.6" (57mm x 57mm X 15mm), the fully intelligent
stepper motor Controller + Drivers runs 4 fully independent stepper motors (see
wiring diagram). Operating from a 9V to 32V supply the
controller regulates to any motor voltage via software command. (Eg 3V motor
can be run with 24V supply). Commands can be issued from any serial terminal
program (such as HyperTerminal) or from the EZStepper Windows application.
The EZ4AXIS23WV will drive 4 motors
at 1 Amp with a setting of move current m=50 %.
However with careful selection of motors and/or improved cooling and/or low
move time duty cycle it is possible to run motors at 2 Amps at m=100%. See
Command Set for details.
The Commands are intuitive and simple. For example, the command
A10000 will move the stepper motor to Absolute position 10000. (This communications protocol is compatible with
devices that use the Cavro DT or OEM protocol.)
The EZStepper is also capable of
stand-alone operation with no connection to a PC. It can be set to execute a
preset string of commands upon power up (i.e., only power is required in this
mode). The Commands include nested loops and execution halt pending a
switch closure, which is useful in stand-alone applications.
The EZ4AXIS23WV Stepper Motor
Controller will typically work with any stepper motor that is 3" or
smaller (size23 or smaller). Our Starter Kits enable a first time user to make a Stepper Motor
move intelligently in less than half an hour.
The EZ4AXIS23WV has identical micro processor and firmware
as the standard EZ4AXIS. However it has updated more robust power drive
electronics and also gold plated connectors. This is a drop-in replacement for
the EZ4AXIS
