Phytron: Stepper Motor Power Stage (MCD+ Series)

Compact stepper motor power stage with ServiceBus

The MCD+ is a bipolar power stage for driving 2 phase stepper motors. The operation parameters - phase currents, step resolution and preferential motor direction - are programmable by rotary switches or in the ServiceBus mode.

The MCD+ is designed for power supplies from 24 to 70 VDC.

The control pulse, motor direction, boost, activation and reset inputs are compatible with push-pull or open collector signals. The control inputs are electrically insulated from the supply and motor voltage.

A special feature of the MCD+ offers 3 terminals for each signal input. Thus separate input terminals for 5 V and 24 V are available.

The MCD+ is suitable for up to 450 Watts of shaft power that is ideal for controlling spindle and toothed belt drive systems for mechanical handling or assembly applications. The high step resolution makes the MCD+ the best solution for applications that have especially high demands on precision, smoothness and durability.
