Integrated Stepper Controller/Drive with Ethernet Interface

TERRYVILLE, Conn. - April 9, 2019 - PRLog -- Advanced Micro Controls Inc. (AMCI), releases their new DC-powered integrated stepper controller/drive package with multi-protocol Ethernet communication. AMCI's new SD4840E2 combines drive and motion control technology into a single product to reduce stepper control system costs and simplify installation. The SD4840E2 integrated controller + drive communicates with the host PLC over the EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, or Profinet network, and move commands are easily programmed through the host PLC's software. AMCI's SD4840E2's money saving design and standard DIN rail mounting makes it a perfect solution for new installations or controls upgrades.

Stepper Controller/Drive Features:
· Stepper Controller + Drive in single package
· E2 Ethernet Technology
· 0.1 – 4.0Arms output current
· Full complement of motion profiles including homing and electronic gearing
· Works with most 2-phase stepper motors
· Easy programming without additional software
· DIN rail mounting

The SD4840E2 features AMCI's new E2 Technology which is an innovative multi-protocol approach to Ethernet distributed I/O that makes moving from one industrial Ethernet protocol to another simple. Supported protocols include EtherNet/IP™, Modbus-TCP, and PROFINET. An advanced web server integrated within the SD4840E2 facilitates network configuration via web-browser. The SD4840E2 has a built-in Ethernet switch and dual network ports, offering fault-tolerant networking; DLR for EtherNet/IP & MRP for Profinet, which can detect a break in the network and redirect the network traffic maintaining communication and system up-time. The embedded switch also provides a network connection for additional devices without increasing the nodes on your existing ethernet switch.

Besides connectivity with Ethernet/IP, Modbus-TCP, and Profinet, AMCI's SD4840E2 Networked Series boasts several features over conventional stepper drivers. AMCI's vari-step velocity control provides unsurpassed smoothness and performance independent of the user's configured resolution, and short circuit protection and overtemperature circuitry ensure the product's safety & reliability. The SD4840E2 mounts on a standard EN 05 022 – 35 X 7.5 DIN rail to simplify installation and lower costs.
