7080i - DC Microstep Drive w/ Si Programming

The 7080i step motor drive is a programmable, microstepping, bipolar stepper drive suitable for a wide range of motion control applications. It includes an intuitive, user-friendly programming language for creating powerful indexing programs that are stored in the drive and allow the drive and motor to run stand-alone. 8 digital inputs and 3 digital outputs facilitate interfacing to other devices, such as PLCs, sensors, switches, etc.

The 7080i includes Applied Motion’s easy-to-use Si Programmer™ software for the rapid development of stand-alone motion control programs. The 3540i can also be controlled via streaming serial commands using Applied Motion’s Serial Command Language (SCL).

The 7080i step motor drive can microstep 2-phase step motors at resolutions of 2,000 to 50,800 steps per revolution. The 7080i employs MOSFET, three-state switching amplifiers and opto-isolated input circuits. The 7080i also includes an automatic feature to lower motor current anytime the motor is left at rest for more than one second. This feature is programmable.
