SMC100PP In Stock

The SMC100PP by Newport is a specialized Single-Axis Motion Controller meticulously crafted to govern 2-phase stepper motors and DC servo motors. Its primary design revolves around the capacity to seamlessly command up to 31 devices through a daisy-chain configuration, transcending the confines of singular dimensions. With a focus on user-friendly functionality, the SMC100PP can be equipped with an accessible feature keypad incorporating a position display, allowing for autonomous operation. A dedicated RS-232 interface, employing ASCII commands, establishes a robust communication channel between the controller and a computer or programmable logic control system. Featuring an extensive repertoire of more than 40 intuitive commands represented in mnemonic ASCII format, this controller provides a versatile toolkit for motor control.

The SMC100PP is furnished with a 16-character LCD display tailored for precise positioning, accompanied by four tactile push buttons catering to essential functions: motor activation, homing, configuration adjustments, and jog motion initiation. This controller seamlessly interfaces with ESP compatible stages, streamlining the recognition and configuration of operating parameters, circumventing the need for manual user input. This plug-and-play functionality assures both operational safety and user transparency. Highlighting its advanced capabilities, the SMC100PP integrates a floating-point digital PID loop with friction and velocity feedforward capabilities, operating at a 2 kHz servo rate. Incorporating hysteresis and backlash compensation further refines the stage performance, contributing to enhanced overall functionality. The controller boasts a user-convenient graphical interface, a comprehensive array of LabVIEW drivers, and an extensive collection of over 100 two-character ASCII commands.
