IDEA Stepper Motor Controller

 

The IDEA™ Drive Stepper Motor Controller is a stepper motor drive and fully  programmable control unit that uses an intuitive patent-pending Graphic User Interface (GUI).  The IDEA Drive technology is available in several different configurations including an external programmable drive and controller, or integrated with a linear actuator to form a complete package of motor, actuator, and programmable drive package.

Features include:
  • RoHS Compliant
  • Stand-alone drive unit or integrated directly onto a linear actuator
  • Programming done through Graphic User Interface (GUI)
  • Automatic population of motor and drive parameters
  • Programmable Speed / Current / Accel-Decel / Current Boost / Interrupts / I/O
  • Encoder Input / Stall Detection with Compensation / Position Verification
  • USB or RS-485 Communication protocols
  • Movement Profile Plotter
  • Interactive Program Debug Feature

IDEA Drive software is simple to use with on-screen buttons and easy-to-understand programming guides.   

The software program generates motion profiles directly into the system and also contains a "debug" utility allowing line-by-line execution of a motion program for easy troubleshooting.
