CS-D508 8A 2 Phase CS Series Closed Loop Stepper Drive
Leadshine CS-D508 is a stepper motor driver with encoder feedback input. Operating at 20-50VDC, max 8A output current. Suits 2-phase CS Series Closed Loop Stepper Motors.
NOTE: When powering with 12VCC or 24VCC, the controller requires external resistors in series to it's terminals (refer to hardware manual).
Leadshine CS-D508 is a closed-loop stepper drive that, when implemented along with a compatible 2-phase stepper motor in NEMA frame sizes 17, 23, or 24, features a 1000-line incremental encoder. It can close the position loop between the motor and drive and, therefore, eliminate the loss-of-step problem in an open loop system. The CS-D508 implements an advanced control algorithm based on Leadshine's decades of experience in stepper and servo controls. It is ideal for upgrading open-loop stepper systems or replacing servo systems in some low to middle-speed applications.
Compared with an open loop stepper system, a CS-D508 adopted closed loop stepper system can eliminate loss of step, make real-time position error correction, and use 100% available torque of the driven stepper motor. It can also power the driven stepper motor with reduced heating, lower noise, and lower vibration.
When compared with a servo system, a CS-D508 adopted closed-loop stepper system can have much higher low-to-middle-speed torque. Such a control system also has the advantages of no tuning, no hunting, no overshooting, and much lower cost.
Features:
The main advantages over traditional servo and open-loop stepper systems are:
- Step & direction or CW/CCW control modes
- Powering a 2-phase stepper motor of NEMA 23, 24, or 34 with a 1000-line encoder
- Closed-loop eliminates loss of steps
- No Tuning, hunting, overshooting, or torque margin
- Reduced motor heating and more efficient
- Smooth motion and super-low motor noise
- CE certified and RoHS compliant
That closed stepper system can be used to upgrade open-loop stepper systems or replace some servo systems, especially in many small to medium speed applications such as CNC routers, CNC mills, CNC laser cutters, CNC plasmas, lab automation instruments, plotters, medical equipment, electronic equipment, small packaging machines, etc.
NOTE: When powered with 12VCC or 24VCC, the controller requires external resistors in series to its terminals (refer to the hardware manual).
