Fast track approach to motion control
BSL Engineering is offering a fast track approach to the implementation
of motion control with Parker's modular DIN rail mounting stepper drive
range. This system comprises one or more 'docking stations', together
with a power supply, all of which mount on the DIN rail. The modules
stack side-by-side, and an integral rack-and-pinion interlock secures
them together as a single assembly.
There is a choice of four power ratings for the stepper drive: two 75V
units with current ratings of 2.5A and 5A, and two 170V units with
current ratings of 8A and 12A. Any number of docking stations and drive
modules can be used in a system, subject only to the instantaneous power
demands of all axes being met by the power supply. The stepper module
also comes with a position controller, having RS232/485 ports and CANbus
option.
