MT2 is a small size low power stand-alone control device which can control both two bipolar and two unipolar stepper motors (i.e. 8 and 4 lead motors, and 6 lead center tapped motors) and their respective limit/home detection sensors (one for each axis, with programmable polarity).

This device was designed to manage high precision single plane x-y positioning systems.

Although MT2 was conceived mainly to control finite rotation movements, it can also work with direct cycle motors and, for exemplum, it can also be used as speed control device.

Technical Specifications

MT2 is managed by serial interface with a dedicated protocol. It is possible to set out the motor rotation speed (from 35 up to 1000 half-step/second or from 3,5 up to 100 half-step/second, depending on the selected model of MT2). The rotation speed is not linearly reached: acceleration and deceleration follow a profile optimizing the motor supplied couple.

The card has small dimensions and can be connected directly to stepper motors with nominal current up to 0,6A. A power buffer can be integrate for higher currents.

One input for limit/home detection per axis is provided

Input voltage: 7 - 15 V DC (unregulated).

Current consumption: 60 mA @ 12 V DC (plus motor and light source consumption).

Output current: max 0,6A/ph (1,2A of peak).

Size: 80 x 60 x 15 mm (about 2,36 x 3,15 x 0,59 inch).
