The pdc-x85 controller operates 2-phase stepper and 3-phase steppers as well as DC-motors and BLDC-motors. The operating range spans from 24V to 130V and motor currents from 1A to 10A. The robust metal housing can either be wall-mount or snapped on to a standard DIN rail. All necessary peripheral equipment interfaces such as for limit switches, encoders etc. are optically isolated and easily accessible on the front panel. The integrated cooling fan automatic allows for mounting the drive in virtually any location. All required settings can be done directly at the front panel, and therefore no external input device is needed. These product features make the pdc-x85 suitable for rough industrial environments. Typical applications are in general automation and in the device technology where multiple axis are controlled via CAN bus. The pdc-x85 is a CANopen slave device and meets the entire CANopen specification. The communication is realized with the CANopen specified „Predefined Connection SET“. Extensive motion and control functions are already integrated. Additional Interfaces are RS232, RS485, Pulse/Direction, or I/O-Extension for manual control or with a PLC and digital Inputs/Outputs. Through comprehensive parameter settings the application can be optimally adjusted to the application. Because of the expanded supply voltage range and motor current range a wide range of applications can be covered with only a few motor variants. All electrical connections are removable. The pdc-x85 controls stepping motors in micro steps and shows excellent running performance such as low resonance and smooth quiet run at high step angle accuracy and constant torque from step to step.
