INTEGRATED MICROSTEPPING MOTOR
DRIVER AND HIGH PERFORMANCE
MACHINE/PROCESS CONTROLLER
DESCRIPTION
The MicroLYNX is a powerful
machine control system
in te grat ing a bi po lar microstepping
driv er and ex pand able
pro gram ma ble controller into
a com pact panel mounted
assembly.
Available in two out put power
ranges, MicroLYNX fi ts a va ri ety
of mo tor sizes. Fea tures such
as +5 to +24 VDC isolated
I/O, mul ti ple com mu ni ca tion
types and nu mer ous ex pan sion
op tions make the MicroLYNX an
effective and powerful ma chine
con trol solution.
Optional dif fer en tial I/O modules
give the MicroLYNX the
ca pa bil i ty of driving two additional
axes sequentially or
allowing electronic gearing
by following a rotary or lin ear
axis, or out put ting a second
clock at an elec tron i cal ly controlled
ra tio.
The MicroLYNX provides for
two fully independent com mu -
ni ca tion ports. It will ac cept
com mands from either port and
di rect out put to ei ther as well. A
sys tem could be confi gured to
use COMM port one to com mu -
ni cate to a host PC or PLC while
the second com mu ni cates with
an op er a tor in ter face or ad di -
tion al MicroLYNX.
The MicroLYNX can be used
to con trol both sim ple and
com plex systems. With plug-in
ac ces so ry mod ules OEMs have
the option of only pur chas ing
the features they need for any
giv en system design, reducing
over all cost. The MicroLYNX
can be fi eld up grad ed by simply
removing its side cover and
adding or changing an expansion
module, minimizing system
down time.
Software for the MicroLYNX is
upgradable. Updates are posted
on the IMS web site and can
be down load ed and installed using
the IMS Ter mi nal/Upgrade
soft ware provided with the
MicroLYNX. This allows older
units to use new features and
ex pan sion mod ules as they become
avail able.
