The SMC3 Drive System is the Motion Controller ideal for cost-effective implementation of positioning functions.
The SMC3 Drive System can easily integrate into Sercos or EtherCAT networks and can be used as a cost-effective alternative to expensive servo drives available on the market.
The onboard I/O’s, which include 4 digital outputs, 4 digital inputs and an encoder interface, allow the realization of a complete positioning axis with enabling and status signals, and inputs for limit and homing switches.
The stepper motor interface is designed for 2-phase motors with up to 256 microsteps at max. 6A current per phase and 48VDC supply.
