Nippon Pulse MCH series Motion Checkers are palm-sized controllers with a built-in integrated driver circuit for 2-phase stepper motors. The Motion Checker series is ideal for the prototyping phase and can substitute for a completely designed and integrated controller early in the design and testing phase.
System Design
- Both motion checker MCH-3 and MCH-5 series run unipolar and bipolar-winding stepper motors
- MCH-5 series has a pulse/direction output signal enabling its use as a standalone controller to connect to any driver board
- Memory feature to retain program settings (MCH-5)
- Six steps/pattern program operation with zero return
- Rotation direction, speed control, position control, operation mode, stop time settings
- Four models to choose from
- ‘Out of the box’ quick and easy set-up
- 250-400mA/phase rated output current
- Full-step (2-2) and half-step (1-2) excitation modes
- Ability to control and drive bipolar and unipolar steppers
- 12 or 24VDC power input
