| | | The QuickStep series of Stepper motors with integrated electronics represents a major step forward. All the necessary electronics in a stepper system are integrated in the motor itself. In the past, a traditional motor system has typically been based on a central controller unit located remote from the motor. This configuration however has the negative effect that installation costs are a major part of the total expense of building machinery. The basic idea of the QuickStep motors is to minimize these costs but also to make a component that is much better protected against electrical noise which can be a typical problem when using long cables between the controller and motor. electronics are specially developed by JVL so that together they form a closed unit in which the power driver and controller are mounted inside the motor in a closed section. | | |
| | | The advantages of this solution are: • De-central intelligence. • Simple installation. No cables between motor and driver. • EMC safe. Switching noise remains within motor. • Compact. Does not take space in cabinet. • 12-48VDC power. • Low-cost alternative to separate step or servo motor and driver. | | Interface possibilities to the QuickStep motor: • From PC/PLC with serial commands via 5V serial and RS485. • Pulse/direction input. Encoder output. • Option for uPLC built-in with grafical programming. • CANopen, DeviceNet • 8 I/O, 5-28VDC that can be configured to Inputs, Outputs or analogue inputs • Future option for Profibus DP, Ethernet, Bluetooth and Zigbee wireless | | |
