EM870S, 7 A, Open-Loop Stepper Driver
The EM870S open loop stepper driver is able to power 2 phase (1.8°) and 4 phase (0.9°) stepper motors smoothly with very low motor heating & noise. It can provide up to 7.0 A, operating at 20-80 VDC.
The EM870S is a new digital stepper drive based on Leadshine’s widely implemented DM stepper drives (10 millions of units in field). While retaining features of simple design, easy setup, high precision and reliability, Leadshine has also upgraded it by adopting the latest stepper control technology and added additional advanced features for better torque (10-25%), quicker response time, control command smoothing, easy self-test, etc.
The EM870S is able to power 2 phase and 4 phase stepper motors smoothly with very low motor heating & noise. It can take 20-80VDC supply voltage and output 0.5 to 7.0A current. All the micro step and output current configurations can be easily done via built in DIP switches. Its control type (step & direction or CW/CCW) and command smooth filtering can also be configured via DIP switches. Therefore, the EM870S is an ideal choice for many applications requiring simple step & direction or CW/CCW control of NEMA 23, NEMA 24 and NEMA 34 (lower than and including 4.5 N.m motors) stepper motors. EM870S can be a direct replacement for the EM806 (SMC-033).
