The MotionPod Duo is a compact, low cost, desktop format dual-axis motion controller.
Using the wide range of options available on the Galil DMC-300xx controller, the Duo can control two-phase bipolar stepper motors in 1⁄16, ¼, ½ or full step increments at up to 1.4A per phase. Alternatively it can be specified as an 800w brushless sine drive or 6A per phase microstepping drive.
All connections are made using standard DSub connectors
There is an integral power supply.
Several Duos can be daisy chained together using the Ethernet ports without an external hub. The Duo can be operated stand alone, or networked via Ethernet to a PC.
Optional Features
- Servo, stepper or microstepping drive options
- Real-Time clock option
- SSI and BiSS encoder option
- Screw terminal break-out convertor for DSub connectors
Specification
- Single-axis motion controller with servo to stepper motor drive in a compact enclosure.
- Optional 800W brushed/brushless sine drive: 10A cont., 15A peak at 20-80V DC
- Optional microstepping drive: 6A phase, 20-80V DC
- Optional low-current stepper drive: 1.4A/phase; Full, ghalf, 1/4, 1/16 step; 12-30V DC
- Can connect to stepper or servo amplifier of any power range
- Two daisychainable ethernet 100Base-T ports; one 115kbaud RS232 port.
- Ethernet supports multiple masters and slaves. TCP/IP, UDP and Modbus TCP master protocol for communication with I/O devices
- Encoder feedback up to 15MHz. Quadrature standard; SSI and BiSS encoder option (SER). Sinusoidal encoder option (DMC-31xxx). Main and auxilliary encoder inputs
- Non-volatile memory for programs, variables and arrays
- Concurrent execution of four programs
- Optically isolated forward and reverse limit inputs and homing input
- 8 uncommitted, isolated inputs and 4 isolated outputs
- High speed position latch and output compare
- 2 uncommitted 12bit 0-5V analogue inputs (16bit ±10V inputs on DMC-31xxx) and 1 uncommitted analogue input
Connections
All connections on the rear panel of the Servostep are made by simple D Type connectors. A single unit can control 1 to 8 axes of motion, A-H
