The dc-powered integrated stepper controller and drive package has multi-protocol Ethernet communication. The SD4840E2 combines drive and motion control technology into a single product to reduce stepper control system costs and simplify installation. The integrated controller and drive package communicates with the host PLC over the EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP or Profinet network. Move commands are programmed through the host PLC’s software. The design and standard DIN-rail mounting make it suitable for new installations or controls upgrades.
