Phytron: Stepper Motor Controller (MCC-1 Series)

Programmable controller for one axis.

The MCC-1, phytron‘s freely programmable dual axis stepper motor controller, is a compact stand-alone unit for 2 phase stepper motors providing up to 3.5 APEAK phase current.

Controllers in the MCC series have many inputs and outputs (digital and analogue) and encoder inputs for step position monitoring plus possibilities to connect limit switches all as standard.

Due to the variety of available host interfaces (USB, Ethernet etc.), the MCC can be quickly and easily integrated into existing applications.

This controller is easy to program and can operate either directly (remote) via its bus or stand-alone (local) with the program routines stored within.

As a compact stand-alone device, it convinces especially in small experimental setups, machines and equipment, which can be dispensed in a PLC.
