1.2PRODUCT FEATURES
SLO-SYN 2000MD4 Translator/Drive is a bipolar, adjustable speed, two-phase PWM drive that uses hybrid power devices. It can be set to operate a step motor in full steps or half steps. The maximum running speed is 3,000 rpm. To reduce the chances of electrical noise problems, the control signals are optically isolated from the drive circuit. Features include:
Switch selectable current levels of 0.5 through 3.5 amperes
Full short circuit protection (phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground)
Undervoltage and transient overvoltage protection
Efficient thermal design
Optically isolated inputs
Windings Off capability
Switch selectable step resolution
Compact size
Sturdy all-aluminum mounting base
