Testra Corp. unveiled its RoadRunner SoftStep R213S microstepping motor drive. The intelligent on board processor treats the input steps as small vector moves and smoothly chains them together with 250 or 256 micro-steps per regular motor step with controlled accelerations.
- Dual chopper stabilized current comparators
- Auto-calibration
- Gecko drive compatibility
- The ability to micro-step finely in either 250 or 256 increments per step for DS (double step) settings, 1 (full step), 2 (half step), 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256
- A measurement of 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.825”
- An input power of 20 to 80 VDC
- A current drive from 1 to 7 A
- Resistor programmable current, opto-isolated inputs, step, direction, disable input (not isolated), and step frequency to 5 Mhz
