The UIM250 CAN-RS232 converting controller is used in conjunction with UIM242xx stepper motor controller to provide a RS232 interface on the user side and a CAN bus interface on the motor side (factory side). By using the UIM250 controller, users can be benefited from the advantages of CAN base control network without dealing with the complicated CAN protocol. User only needs to communicate with the UIM250 controller using the simple, intuitive and ASCII coded RS232 instructions. All CAN bus issues are taken care of by the UIM250 converting controller.

Both the UIM250 controller and the UIM242xx controller support network. One UIM250 controller can command up to 100 UIM242xx controllers. Interfacing the UIM250 is simple, intuitive and fault tolerating. Users are not required to have stepper motor driving or CAN protocol knowledge.
