| Some stepper controllers
use DB9 and DB15 type connectors for interfacing signals.. time to install
is long thus cost more money. |
| Some of them use tiny
little screw connectors trying to save space...big hands anybody ??? |
| Most stepper motor
controllers need mounting onto an electrical plate ... |
| Most controllers need
interface series dropper resistors to operate on 24VDC signals |
| Most stepper controller
suppliers have full/half mini stepper and micro stepper
models |
|
|
The DS10
series from Lam offers the following features .. |
| 1 Din
Rail mountable ..space and huge time savings.. (Click it on and ready
to go) |
| 2 They
all use screw color coded screw terminals for decent size cables ..
not fiddly stuff at all |
| 3 Inputs
connect directly to 3-24VDC signals NPN or PNP and Line Driver circuits as
well.. awesome |
| 4 They
are lower cost as well with higher specs ..we guarantee that .. |
| 5 Higher
resolution offered in std models up to 25600 steps per revolution still
lowest cost |

PLC users please note
|
| If you want a very
powerful positioning control system using a PLC is a very good choice. |
| They offer awesome I/O
capability and some of the smaller PLC's even have high speed pulse
generation features. Vendors like Omron and Mitsubishi all offer units. |
|
| One of the most amazing
software packages we have seen is from a US company called Ability systems
.. it is a software driver package that turns a PC into a multi axis motion
controller. |

| All the step and direction
type controllers from
Lam Tech
work very well with this type of setup. |
| Please consult with us if
you have an application that involves routing we can help you with all the
necessary drivers and setup details.

| Using a
Propeller Chip
for positioning control (embedded type applications) |
| The Propeller Chip from
Parallax is a multi core CPU module. |
| Point to Point positioning
control is easy...run 1 CPU for TX/RX commands and run 3 other CPU's
simultaneously with step and direction signals. |
| All that in a 40 DIP
package costing less than $30.00 ( okay you need to program it ) |
| The Propeller coupled with
the USD type PCB
mount micro steppers is an
awesome solution for many very difficult tasks and can be done very cost
effectively.. so before you spend 4-5 K on a Multi axis controller check
this out and consult with us. |
