Description Features

Controller is designed to work on PCI bus of computer. ALTECHNA manufactures lots of motorized devices such as linear translation stages, rotation stages, attenuators and other equipment. All stepper motors used in ALTECHNA's motorized devices can be controlled by 8SMCC PCI controller. Controller can be used to drive motorized positioners of other manufacturers if stepper motor parameters match specifications of 8SMCC PCI.

	It controls all parameters of motion: velocity, acceleration, deceleration, amount of steps (or micro steps) and direction.
	Controller supports step division up to 1/8 steps (1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 step).
	Two end switches and one rotation switch can be connected to the controller.
	Controller is capable to stop motor with deceleration in motion mode (soft stop).
	Information about status of end switches can be read from controller.
	Motor current can be switch off or on to disconnect motor safely.
	Controller turns off the power when signal from one of two emergency switches is received.
