The IT 116 Flash step controller is a freely programmable compact controller for a linear or circular axis with 2-phase stepper motor. The step controller comprises an intelligent step motor stage, a processor core with Flash memory for downloading / storing the PAL-PC user program and the clocking/direction signal generation for the final stage of the motor, the necessary power supply units, a safety circuit (Stop category 0 to EN 60204) and a casing with mains input filter and control elements.

The integrated operating system in the Flash memory of the processor core supports both
                          • DNC controller mode: PC/laptop connected permanently with the step controller via the serial interface
and the
                          • CNC controller mode: the step controller works independently, without PC coupling of the stored user program (standalone).

• Final output stage 48 V DC / 2.84 A peak for 2-phase stepper motors
• max. 25,600 microsteps/turn
• Mains voltage: 115V AC/230V AC, 50…60 Hz
• Automatic current sink at 50% phase current at motor speed < 1 rpm
• Motor current/microstep resolution variable with DIP switch
• Integrated 32-bit RISC processor (Embedded controller) with Flash memory for firmware and PAL PC user program
• RS-232 interface (front) for coupling with PC/notebook (program download)
• Control signals: Program start/stop, reset on controller back side
• 4 optically isolated signal inputs (Signal voltage: 24 V DC)
• 4 relay outputs (24 V DC, 300 mA)
• Motor brake controller (24 V DC)
• Remote plug on rear of controller for external EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN (2-channel), ext. power on
