Introduction
Thank you for selecting an Applied Motion Products motor control. We hope our dedication to
performance, quality and economy will make your motion control project successful.
If there’s anything we can do to improve our products or help you use them better, please call
or fax. We’d like to hear from you. Our phone number is (800) 525-1609 or you can reach us
by fax at (831) 761-6544. You can also email support@applied-motion.com.
Features
• Digital servo motor driver in complete fully featured package
• Operates directly from a 90 to 260Volt AC input
• Operates in torque, velocity or position mode
• Accepts analog signals, digital signals and RS-232/485 serial commands
• Motor current to 15 amps peak, 5 amps continuous
• Seven optically isolated digital inputs (15 inputs with expanded I/O board)
• Three optically isolated digital outputs (7 outputs with expanded I/O board)
• One differential or two single ended ±10 volt analog inputs for position, speed and torque
control. In the SCL and Q languages the analog inputs can be read and used to set other
parameters.
• 0-5V aux analog input
