Product catalog summary
Overview: The PKA Series is an integrated 0.72° stepper motor with a built-in microstepping driver and controller, designed for high performance and ease of use. It simplifies motion control by eliminating the need for wiring between the controller, driver, and motor.
Key Features:
  • Integrated controller and driver for easy system configuration.
  • Three control methods: I/O, Modbus (RTU)/RS-485, and Factory Automation (FA) Network.
  • Built-in positioning function with various operation modes, including continuous and return-to-home operations.
  • Noise and vibration reduction through microstepping driver and stored data controller.
Control Methods:
  • I/O Control: Direct connection to a switch box or PLC, saving space and simplifying the system.
  • Modbus (RTU)/RS-485: Connects up to 31 drivers with simultaneous multi-axis start capability.
  • FA Network: Supports CC-Link, MECHATROLINK, or EtherCAT communication via a network converter.
Specifications:
  • Basic Step Angle: 0.72°
  • Power Source: 24 VDC±10%
  • Maximum Holding Torque: 0.18 N·m (PKA544KD), 0.83 N·m (PKA566KD)
  • Rated Current: 0.75 A/Phase (PKA544KD), 1.4 A/Phase (PKA566KD)
  • Control Circuit: RS-485 with Modbus protocol
Environmental and Physical Specifications:
  • Operating Temperature: 0∼50°C
  • Humidity: 85% max (non-condensing)
  • Protection: IP20
  • Dimensions: Frame sizes of 42 mm and 60 mm
Accessories and Related Products: Various cables, mounting brackets, and network converters are available separately to enhance system integration and functionality.
Input and Output Signals: The manual details the assignment of input signals (IN0∼3) and output signals (OUT0∼1) for a control system. Input signals include functions like FWD, RVS, START, and STOP, while output signals include FWD_R, RVS_R, and READY.
Connection Diagrams: Examples of connections to a programmable controller are provided, including current sink (NPN) and current source (PNP) output circuits. The diagrams specify the use of 24 VDC for input and output signals, with a maximum current of 10 mA.
Control Module Cable: The document describes a cable for connecting an OPX-2A or data setting software to the PKA Series, including dimensions and pricing.
Accessories: Accessories such as data setting software communication cables are necessary for changing operating data in the PKA Series. The document lists product names, prices, and specifications.
Operating Environment: The manual specifies compatible operating systems, including various versions of Windows, and recommends hardware specifications like CPU, memory, and hard disk space.
Data Setting Software: MEXE02 software is used for setting parameters and monitoring operations. It can be downloaded from the Oriental Motor website.
Network Converter: The document describes a network converter for RS-485 communication, supporting multiple axes and compatible with CC-Link, MECHATROLINK, and EtherCAT. Product lines and prices are provided.
