PLEASE NOTE: This is a legacy product, not intended for new machine designs. Please consider alternative HKP product for new machine designs.

The PCM4806E and PCM4826E IDEA® Drive Stepper Motor Controllers use USB for communication and are available in two current ratings. In addition to the stand-alone models, drives are available integrated on motor and linear actuator assemblies.

Features :
  • USB Communication protocol
  • Stand-alone drive unit or integrated directly onto a linear actuator
  • Programming done through Graphic User Interface (GUI)
  • Automatic population of motor and drive parameters
  • Programmable Speed / Current / Accel-Decel / Current Boost / Interrupts / I/O
  • Encoder Input / Stall Detection with Compensation / Position Verification
  • Movement Profile Plotter
  • Interactive Program Debug Feature
  • Maximum current ratings of 0.6 Arms or 2.6 Arms
