MT2MS 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 MT2MS 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

MT2MS is equipped with PWM current control system on the motor phases. This device can reach a movement precision of 1/8 of step.

MT2MS is managed by a serial interface with a dedicated protocol. It is possible to set out the motor rotation speed (from 18 up to 500 micro-step/second or from 1,8 up to 50 micro-step/second, depending on the selected model of MT2MS). 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 0,75A.

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 auxiliary exit consumption).

Output current: max 0,75A/ph (0,85A of peak).

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