Introducing the OES Allegra Controller Each system integrates the power supplies, controller, micro-stepper drivers and stepper motors. These series support up to 4 axes of motion, 16 discrete inputs, 16 discrete outputs, 3 analog inputs, and up to 5 optical encoder inputs. The command port is provided for stand-alone operation

STPMDRV-404 The STPMDRV-404 has 14 different resolutions (both in binary and decimal) built into the driver. The development of proprietary circuits has minimized ripple current while maintaining a 25 KHz chopping rate. This prevents additional motor heating that is common with drivers requiring higher chopping rates The low inductance stepper motors can be used to improve high speed performance and system efficiency.

Stepping Motor Control Card These cards can also be operated using an analog joystick or a trackball with quadrature outputs. The speed of the motor is proportional to the tilt angle of the joystick or the rotational speed of the trackball. The joystick has three speed selection keys; fast, medium and slow speed. The card may be controlled in different ways; 1) Stand-alone In this mode, the controller does not need the PC to operate. The controller is programmed in a high level programming language. The user develops the code, downloads it to the controller, runs and saves it in the controller's non-volatile memory using the supplied Integrated Development Environment (IDE). 2) Host Controlled In this mode, the host sends a series of ASCII commands to the controller via the RS-232 serial port. The controller processes and performs the incoming commands and responds with proper messages. 3) Control Panel The intuitive Control Panel allows the user to set-up the system quickly. The operator is able to move the mechanism to different positions by pressing the corresponding buttons of the Control Panel or using the joystick and/or trackball. The motion parameters are manually recorded in the control panel by typing the desired values in the corresponding fields, or may be read from an ASCII file. Programming instructions include motion control, configuration, input / output, program flow commands, 32-bit logical and mathematical operations, and other miscellaneous commands. Modes of motion include point-to-point positioning, jogging, contouring, electronic gearing, and electronic cam.
