MAC 5000

Dual Microstepping Motor Module

Overview

This module offers the ability to operate two independent stepper motors.

Motor resolution is jumper and software congurable. Microstep resolutions can

be set up to 200x, which yields 40,000 microsteps with a standard 1.8 degree

stepper motor. This module is suitable for general purpose automation where high

performance is not a requirement. The 73005054 module is not recommended for

use with XY stages.

This module supports two motion axes, as such it is addressable as two sepa-

rate modules with independently selectable addresses. The software command set

is a subset of the 73005050 microstep drive for compatibility.

I/O Connection

Motor connection is via the standard LEP DB-15 female connector. Encoder

signals, end-limit and motor drive signals are present on each connector.

Joystick input is selectable from the internal MAC 5000 joystick bus or ex-

ternally from the rear mounted mini-DIN connector. This module does not support

digital control input (digipot).
