TM StepDrive 1x24..48V/5A

 

 

Stepper motor driver with integrated power stage for SIMATIC ET 200®SP in coordination with Siemens

Controlling and driving stepper motors within a modular PLC system: The TM StepDrive technology guarantees a high-precision current adjustment and enables fine positioning up to 1/256 step (approx. 51,200 positions per revolution (0.0070°/step) with a 200 stepper motor).


Technical Details

  • Stepper motor controller with integrated power stage for SIMATIC ET 200®SP
  • The TM StepDrive 1x24..48V/5A module successfully completed the system compliance test performed by Siemens.
  • Suitable for bipolar control of 2 phase stepper motors with 4-,(6-) or 8 lead wiring
