UIM2842
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
UIM2842 is a kind of miniature stepper motor controller with CAN network interface.
UIM2842 controller can be mounted onto NEMA11 series stepper motor through adapting
flanges. Total thickness of the controller is less than 15mm.
With UIM2842 controller, it is simple to construct a control system. Users can control the
whole “motor-sensor-third party actuator” system through their own CAN based host by
using “SimpleCAN” protocol. Users also can control the system through a gateway
produced by UIrobot, such as UIM2501, USBC9100 and PCI120, by using RS232 based
string or “SimpleCAN” protocol. One gateway can network with up to 100 UIM242
controllers.
UIM2842 can realize encoder-based closed-loop control. Its architecture includes
communication system, basic motion control system, advanced motion control module
(linear/non-linear acceleration/deceleration, S-curve PT/PVT displacement control),
sensor input control module, TTL output control module and user programming module.
Embedded 64-bit calculating precision DSP controller guarantees the entire control
process finish within 1 millisecond. Instructions are simple and intuitive. UIROBOT
provides free Microsoft Windows based VB/VC demo software and corresponding source
code.
Enclosure is made of die-cast aluminum to provide a rugged durable protection and
improves the heat dissipation.
