The OFS350 series of open-frame ministepping drives offer a 3.5A output with a resolution of 400-12,800 steps/rev, a step phase sequencer with MOSFET three-state switching amplifiers and opto-isolated circuits. The amplifier regulates motor current by chopping at a constant, inaudible frequency. Phase current is selected from 32 levels by a DIP switch, which also controls the microstepping resolution. The OFS350-DRI ministepper drive accepts industry standard step and direction command signals from an external control source. The OFS350-OSC drive additionally adds an on-board clock source and includes five optically isolated inputs, external speed control, tach output, and internal pots for accel/decel rate along with high- and low-speed range selection. Both versions of the drive include a selectable automatic feature to lower the motor current by 50% whenever the motor is left at rest for more than one second. There is also a switch-selectable self test mode that rotates the motor one-half a revolution in each direction at 100 steps per second.
