PVP192 2 Amp Bi-Polar Stepper Drive

The PVP192 Stepper Motor Drive Module has been developed to meet the growing demand for high performance, cost effective, bipolar drivers. It has been designed to be compatible with the specifications of many types of stepper motors with 4, 6 or 8 leads, and is suitable for numerous applications. PWM current regulation provides very efficient use of input power and extends the useful speed range of motors whilst reducing heat dissipation in the drive. The PVP192 delivers a maximum continuous motor current of 2 Amps per phase. Motor phase current is fully adjustable via an on-board potentiometer, this in turn allows a wide range of motors up to NEMA frame size 23 to be driven, at voltages up to 36Vdc. All control signal inputs have uncommitted opto isolators which means that sinking (NPN) or sourcing (PNP) drivers can be used, thereby making interface possible to a wide range of PLC's and other control equipment. The module is supplied, as standard, with the opto isolators configured for 5 Volt operation, 12 Volt or 24 Volt options can be provided on request. Other standard features include: Full/half step mode selection; over temperature protection; standby motor current selection; output stage disable function.
