Stepper Controller #2
Multiple axis controller
![]() iMC-S8 The iMC-S8 step controller is a freely programmable compact controller for linear or circular axes with 2-phase step motors. The controller integrates all the necessary components (power supply, safety circuit, power electronics, core processor, interfaces, operating elements) that are needed to control individual spindles all the way to entire machines. It has an intelligent core module that is controlled and programmed via a RS232 interface. The core module also converts the commands programmed in the user program into clocking/direction signals for the connected final stages. Depending on the purpose, the iMC-S8 controller can be used either in CNC or in DNC mode. In CNC mode, the processor processes the CNC program which was previously produced with PAL-PC and stored in the controller's Flash memory. In DNC mode, the iMC-S8 controller is connected permanently with a control computer (PC, laptop) via a serial interface (RS232). Processing is carried out via the isel control software Remote. |
Features • 32-bit RISC processor with Flash memory for user program • Final output stages - Step resolution and motor current adjustable via variable DIP switch - automatic current sink • Acceleration, start-stop frequency and step output frequency variable • both hardware limit switches configurable • Door controller/hood controller • Control elements in the front of the casing • external EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN and POWER connection for integration in higher level safety circuits • Connection for external control signals, such as START, STOP, RESET (only CNC mode) • 230V connection for milling spindle (100-230V AC) • 0 .. 10V analogue output for external frequency converter for speed-controlled main spindle • Programming/Operation - PAL-PC in CNC mode (in the deliverables) - Remote (optional: ProNC) in DNC mode - isel @ - format in CNC/DNC modes Technical specification • Broadband mains supply 100 - 250V AC, 50..60Hz • Processor - Flash memory 128 kB, Capacity to store 350 commands - max. step output frequency 40 kHz • Final stages - Power supply 48V DC - Peak current: 2.8 - 7.8A - Step resolution: 400-51200 steps • Inputs/outputs - 8 inputs (24V DC) - 8 outputs (24V DC/300mA, Itot 2A) - 1 relay output (230V AC, max. 6A) - 1 analogue output (0 - 10V) • RS232 operating/programming interface • Stop category 1, safety category 2 • Versions: - Bench casing W 475 × H 410 × D 187.5 mm 19“ housing W 482.5 × H 410 × D 175.5 mm |

Multiple axis controller
![]() iMC-DC / iMC-EC CAN controllers in the iMC-DC and iMC-EC series are compact, powerful drive controllers for 2 to 6 DC servomotors at an ideal price/performance ratio. The attractive bench housing integrates all control components which are needed to solve a wide variety of automation tasks. They range from the final stage via the I/O assembly to the safety controller. In addition, a 26 cm (10.2”) touch screen TFT display and a keyboard are incorporated, which makes for convenient operation. A CANopen PCI board is integrated in the control computer as an interface. This acts as the CAN master for the drive controller and the I/O module. In addition, external expansions up to 128 CAN nodes are possible with ease. The NC controller core allows interpolation of up to 6 axes (linear, circular and helical) and online and lock ahead track processing. When using the ProNC software, individual axes can be controlled as handling axes (in addition to the interpolating axes). All final stages have automatic jerk limitation and rest state monitoring (up to safety category 3). |
