Schneider Electric: MDrive® Plus Speed Control with programmable velocity control (NEMA 17)
The MDrive® Plus Speed Control with programmable velocity control is a 1.8° 2-phase stepper motor with on-board control electronics. The velocity control uses voltage, current, or PWM analog input signal modes.
Settings for MDrive Plus Speed Control products may be changed on-the-fly or downloaded and stored in nonvolatile memory using the IMS SPI Motor Interface software provided. This eliminates the need for external switches or resistors. Parameters are changed via an SPI port.
The MDrive Plus Speed Control with programmable velocity control is ideal for machine builders who want an optimized motor with on-board electronics. The integrated electronics of the MDrive Plus Speed Control with programmable velocity control reduces the potential for problems due to electrical noise by eliminating the cable between motor and drive.
These compact, powerful and cost effective motion control solutions deliver unsurpassed smoothness and performance that will reduce system cost, design and assembly time for a large range of 2-phase stepper motor applications.
