The Mercury™ Step stepper motor controller is the perfect solution for cost-effective, modular and flexible motion control applications. Its high-resolution microstepping mode with 6400 steps/rev. provides for ultra-smooth motion.
Modular Multi-Axis Control, Combination of DC & Stepper Motors
The networking feature allows the user to start out with one Mercury™ controller and add more units later for multiaxis setups. The Mercury™ Step stepper motor controller shares its programming language with the well-established Mercury™ DC-motor controller. Up to 16 Mercury™ controllers (DC and stepper) can be daisy-chained and operated from one computer.Micropositioning systems with stepper motors and Mercury™ Step controller (C-663) are ideally suited for cost-effective automation systems.Flexible Operation: Stand-Alone or Control by USB, RS-232, Joystick or Push-Buttons The C-663 provides a number of operating modes. For computer control it is equipped with both USB and RS-232 interfaces. In stand-alone mode Mercury™ Step controllers can execute predetermined command sequences automatically without a run-time PC connection. These sequences are conveniently generated with the host software macro editor and then stored directly in the C-663 controller. 4 +4 I/O lines (8 bit resolution on the inputs) are also available for flexible automation such as synchronization with external events or manual control. For operational safety, Mercury™ Step controllers support reference and limit switches. Manual control is supported with an optional joystick and a pushbutton pad.
