Beside some other motors and controller cards BeamConstruct supports
the E1701M™ stepper motor controller board. This is a Ethernet
and USB controllable card which provides following features:
- 100 Mbit Ethernet connection
- USB 2.0 connection
- Command execution time down to 1 microsecond
- Support of up to four independent motion axes
- Generates step and direction pulses for usage with stepper motor driver
- 500 kHz maximum step clock
- Linear, exponential and s-shaped acceleration modes
- Freely definable referencing modes with auto-searching for reference switch
- Realtime processing
- Programmable via binary API (via DLL/Windows or .so/Linux) or ASCII command
interface (via Telnet/Ethernet or serial interface/USB) - 512 MByte DDR3 RAM
- 1 GHz CPU clock
- Extremely low power consumption of 1,9 W (non-insulated mode)
- 8 digital outputs providing either CMOS logical levels or electrically insulated outputs via external power supply for controlling 4 motors via step and direction signals
- 8 freely usable digital inputs expecting either CMOS logical levels or electrically insulated inputs via external power supply for usage with limit-/reference switches or
encoder inputs - Two decoders for evaluation of axis position via quadrature encoder signal
- alternative operation mode: jog-control (manual/stand-alone), signals at inputs start movement of related axes
- alternative operation mode: I/O controller card with 8 independent digital outputs and 8 digital inputs
- Very small size of about 87 mm x 55 mm
- Hardware/firmware is quality made in EU/Germany
The optional E170Xbase Mounting Kit allows faster and easier mechanical installation of all types of E1701 controller boards:
- Comes with DIN rail clamps which can be installed in 2 different positions combined with 2 different orientations resulting in 4 different mounting variants
- E1701 can be mounted on top of E170Xbase with distance bolts or hex-stands using premanufactured mounting holes
- Can be used also without DIN rail clamps for custom mounting in machines and as top-cover for E1701
