NEW  Extremely compact, yet powerful, motion control system.  Smallest most integrated available, less than .16" thick, saves you space and money.  Loaded with all the features you need for robust robotic motion.  Excitron is the market leader for high tech innovative motion control products.
 
Complete ready-to-run motor kit Includes precision 0.90 degree per half-step stepper motor with integrated controller and driver, 12 volt 36 watt encapsulated power supply with AC power cord and filter capacitors, RS232 DB9 cable, and 9 pin I/O control cable.  Nothing else is necessary, although our Switchbox is a wonderful accessory.  Click here for drawing and details drawing.

Gold plated connectors, printed circuit boards, and covers for ultimate reliability, heat flow, and performance.  Key specifications etched in real 24K gold on top cover.

Easily change direction, number of steps, speed, acceleration, torque, and other important controls.

On-board RS232 serial communication port.

RS232, 6 input pins (2 analog), and 1 output pin for external motion control. Use the included I/O cable for easy connections to your switches.  
 
Now Includes internal integrated optical encoder, produces postive feedback, saves space, wire, increases reliability, and makes your products superior.

Future--Optional 2.4ghz RF 6LoPAN and unique internet address for worldwide remote control, diagnostics, updates, and status.  Wireless link eliminates data cables, which saves you money, time, and aggravation.

2 intelligent microcomputers with enough memory and speed for full automatic and robotic motion control. Multi-axis capability eliminates PLCs and PCs.

>"Con-trol-ler-co-ders"--stepper motor controllers with optical encoders built-in. Each Controllercoder is fully integrated with the stepper motor, producing the most compact and powerful intelligient motor drive available. Complete Au family can drive stepper motors from 15mm diameter to NEMA 42, perfectly matches drive amperage with the motor size, and all Au Controllercoders use exactly the same command set, to give you the utmost simplicity. The future absolute optical encoder and Index give position feedback for optimal motion control. These units offer the first total 100% motor drive solution, allowing easy plug-n-play for machines, CNC, robots, actuators, vehicles, and all equipment.

Our controllers run "right out of the box" by typing a "w" then "G". Each Excitron controller includes all the electronics and drivers for running the stepper motor, and there are no separate electronic boxes and no messy cables.

You easily control how your stepper motor operates in these modes:

• Serial Command Mode: send and receive via RS232, or USB using our optional USB-RS232 adapter. Connection with PCs, PLCs or Labview work well.
• Standalone Motion Profile Mode: repeatedly run a sequence of motion profiles, exactly as you wish, upon powerup. In this case, your computer is not needed. You can use inputs to control how and when these profiles run.
• Input Profile Mode: each of up to 6 input pins, 2 are analog or digital, trigger 3 motion profiles each, giving you random selection of motion by simply pushing buttons.
• Driver (CNC step/dir) Mode: motor steps each time when an external STEP occurs, in the direction set by DIRECTION. CNC programs usually output these signals on a PC parallel port.
• Encoder: Encoder and/or Index input signals can be counted by the Controller, and you can enable or disable various encoder functions such as stopping if a blockage occurs.

You can combine many of these modes, with few restrictions. All modes allow changing motor speed on-the-fly using a potentiometer on In3. Hundreds of successful customers have created very ingenious motion using these simple "building blocks", as short as 10 minutes.
