Description
The 3540M step motor driver is a microstepping
drive from 400 to 12,800 steps per revolution, with
custom resolutions available upon request, step
phase sequencer with MOSFET three state switching amplifiers and optoisolated circuits. The drive
also includes an automatic feature to lower motor
current by 50% anytime the motor is left at rest for
more than one second. This feature can be disabled. Additional there is a switch selectable selftest which rotates the motor 1/2 revolution in each
direction at 100 steps/second.
The amplifier regulates motor current by chopping at
a constant, inaudible frequency. Phase current is selected from 32 levels by a DIP switch. Microstepping
resolution is also selected by DIP switch.
