UIM242xx Canbus Networking stepper controller

Specifications

2 phase hybrid miniature stepper controller with Canbus (UIM242XX)

UIM24204 and UIM24208 are miniature stepper motor controller with CAN network capability. Through a CAN-RS232 converter (UIM2501), user device can command multiple UIM242 controllers through RS232 using ASCII coded instructions. Instructions are simple, intuitive and fault-tolerating. User is not required to have knowledge on stepper motor driving and CAN network.

UIM242 controller's architecture comprises communication system, basic motion control system, absolute position counter, and real-time event-based change notification system. Embedded 64-bit calculation precision DSP controller guarantees the real-time processing of the motion control and change notifications.

There are 3 optional advanced modules: Advanced Motion Control Module, Input Control Module, and Output Control Module. With UIM242's Advanced Motion Control, selected NEMA 17/23 motors can ramp up to 6600 RPM in 0.5 seconds and 4000 RPM in 0.25 seconds (online video available for downloading).

UIM242 controllers can be mounted onto NEMA17/23/34/42 series stepper motor through adapting flanges. Controller thickness is less than 14 mm. Enclosure is made of die-cast aluminum to provide a rugged durable protection and improves the heat dissipation.

Further more stepper drive with parallel port and RS232 stepper controller and smart self-pulsing stepper controller are available.
