The intelligent ViX microstepper drive uses field-oriented digital control technology to give enhanced dynamic performance with improved efficiency. Housed within an extremely compact case, ViX stepper drives are suitable either for direct panel mounting or for attachment to a standard DIN rail using an optional adaptor. The ViX microstepper drive is produced in two versions having current ratings of 2.8 A and 5.6 A RMS at motor bus voltages up to 80 VDC. User resolution is freely programmable between 400 and 51,200 steps/rev. Regardless of the programmed resolution, the motor always operates at maximum resolution for optimum smoothness over the entire speed range. The power stage features full PWM control for accurate microstepping performance.
ViX intelligent microstepper drives incorporate a basic motion controller, using Parker's well-proven EASI command language. As well as carrying out all standard motion-related functions, the controller performs more advanced operations such as external encoder following and registration moves. All necessary configuration is performed by software. In addition to an RS232C interface which is included in the standard drive, an optional factory-installed fieldbus expansion module allows for both CANopen and RS485 communication. A comprehensive front-end software package is available which permits rapid configuration of the drive. When used with Parker stepper motors, only the motor type number is required for configuration of all relevant motor parameters.
