New! Integrated Step Motor & Controller

Santa Clara, CA - Lin Engineering has introduced the Simple Step 17. The Simple Step is designed to allow for rapid implementation of stepper motors in products requiring automation.

This is a fully intelligent controller, integrated to the back of a stepper motor. Commands can be issued from any serial terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) or from the Simple Step Windows application.

The commands are intuitive and simple. For example the command A10000 will move the stepper to Absolute position 10000. (This communications protocol is compatible wtih devices that use the Cavro DT or OEM protocol.)

The Simple Step is also capable of stand alone operation with no connection to a PC. It can be set to execute a preset string or commands upon power up (i.e. Only power is required in this mode). Commands include nested loops and execution halt pending a switch closure.

• Link up to 16 step motors

• Operates on 12 to 40 VDC

• Stores up to 16 programs

• Stand alone operation

• Eighth Step Bipolar Control

• Pre-wired for Opto Switch input

• Up to 85 oz-in of Holding Torque

• Two I/O and two input channels

Lin Engineering has earned the reputation as the technical leader in step motor design with the ability to “Maximize Torque at Desired Speed..”
