SMD‑4.2DIN ver.2 is a new generation stepper motor driver. The driver is designed to control two and four-phase hybrid stepper motors with a phase current of up to 4.2A. The unit provides for mounting on a DIN rail, which is convenient for placing it in a production environment. Due to its advanced design, the SMD‑4.2DIN ver.2 delivers dynamics that accelerate the stepper motor to over 1000 rpm in a fraction of a second and easily reach operating speeds of over 4000 rpm while maintaining enough torque to perform useful work
For stepper motor operation with high inertia load, a connector is provided for connecting an external braking resistor. The SMD‑4.2DIN ver.2 driver provides both pulse position control and analog speed or angle control.
Microstepping mode - 1, 1/2, 1/4,1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128
Control methods:
- Pulse position control (STEP/DIR)
- Analog speed control (0 ‑ 5 VDC or potentiometer)
- Analog control of rotation angle - tracking mode (0 ‑ 5 VDC or potentiometer)
- Constant speed rotation
The operation modes of SMD‑4.2DIN ver.2
Analog speed control - manual mode - it is used for smooth speed regulation without PC connection. The motor speed is proportional to analog voltage signal, potentiometer regulation is also possible. Direction and start/stop are controlled by digital inputs.
Analog position control mode - provides regulation of an angle displacement. The rotor position depends on an analog control signal (voltage or potentiometer regulation) - from 0 to 270°.
