MAC 5000

Overview

For high performance stepper motor control the MAC 5000 MCSTS module

is unequalled. This module is a self-contained microprocessor motor controller

with high performance regulated linear microstepping driver. The linear driver

provides the highest accuracy without excessive motor heating or EMI radiation

that can sometimes be a problem with conventional chopper type drives. All

functions are built-in to the module: analog joystick control, digital joystick

control, limit switches, pre-limit input, open or closed loop stepper motor control.

Motor step rates are programmable from 0.8Hz up to 5mHz. A rich command set

is compatible with all MAC 2002 and MAC 5000 modules.

I/O Connections

The MCSTS module step-motor connector supports two phase stepper mo-

tors with CW and CCW limits, home position signalling, encoder inputs and a

single pre-limit. A SYNC-OUT 8 pin mini-DIN connector has step/direction

output as well as inputs for TTL gating and triggering. Stand-alone trackball con-

trol is available via the TRBALL-IN connector. The separate encoder connection

is for the use of a second positioning encoder for dual encoder systems. In a dual

encoder system the primary encoder input is used for motor servo and the sec-

ondary input is the actual position.
