EZHR17EN Stepper Motor Controller + Driver

Design News Staff -- Design News, June 5, 2006

Small and easy to use

Designed for medical devices, scientific and optical instruments, embedded automation applications, and other small-footprint devices needing dual-axis motion control, this system is designed to work quickly off-the-shelf in miniature applications. It is small, at 1.6 inches (40 mm) square, and provides up to 2 amps drive current for one axis and up to 1 amp for the second, with an optional second stepper or bi-directional dc driver daughtercard. The EZHR17EN can microstep up to 1/256 steps, while the daughtercard can microstep up to 1/16 steps. Even first-time users can get a stepper motor moving as commanded in 30 min or less. Commands can be issued from any serial terminal program or from the EZ Stepper Windows program, but the EZHR17EN also works as a standalone unit, preprogrammed with commands to execute on powerup.
