SMSD‑8.0LAN - programmable stepper motor controller

The SMSD 8.0LAN can be command-controlled via Ethernet TCP/IP, allowing it to be integrated into a local network for remote drive management. This controller offers five distinct control methods, including real-time command control, program mode, STEP/DIR, analog speed control, and analog position control.

The SMSD-8.0LAN ensures the smooth operation of stepper motors. It supports analog speed control, which can be achieved through an internal or external potentiometer or an analog voltage signal within the 0 to 5V range. Additionally, speed regulation using PWM signals is possible. When an external PWM signal is employed, the motor's speed is directly proportional to the effective voltage level applied to the SPEED input.

This controller offers operation in one of five primary control modes:

• Program Mode: This mode allows for autonomous operation based on one of the four user programs stored in memory.
• Direct Control Mode: Real-time command control.
• Analog Speed Control.
• Analog Positioning Control: This involves adjusting the angle.
• Pulse Position Control: This mode uses "STEP" signals and "DIRECTION."

Moreover, the controller is equipped with additional digital inputs and outputs, simplifying the connection to other electrical components within the system.
