Microstepping motor and intelligent drive
Applied Motion Products' STM range of microstepping motors with integrated intelligent drives now includes Ethernet communications.
Available exclusively in the UK and France from Mclennan Servo Supplies, the new STM23 range covers stall torque ratings between 88 Ncm and 148 Ncm from a 12 to 70 VDC supply in a smart package that includes motor, drive and control - for straightforward distributed installation that reduces time and cost over separate component solutions.
The new STM23 Ethernet range combines high performance motion control with 100 Mbps Ethernet communications which can be used for set up and configuration, streaming individual motion commands or upload/download and status monitoring of complete motion programmes using Applied Motions' powerful 'Q' programming language.
In addition the models feature analogue positioning and encoder following which can be usefully monitored over Ethernet.
