Overview

This DSP-based series delivers advanced, high-efficiency stepper motor control with anti-resonance tuning for exceptionally smooth and accurate multi-axis movements.

Key Features

Maximize your hardware's lifespan and efficiency. The iM4401-01 and iMU401-0N modules feature sophisticated real-time tuning, microstepping emulation (smoothing), and anti-resonance capabilities. This ensures smooth motor operation, drastically reducing vibration and mechanical wear.

Reduce panel heat and energy consumption. The stepper drivers feature deeply customizable idle scaling—allowing administrators to configure specific idle times and idle currents. When the motor is inactive, the system automatically steps down the driving current, preventing overheating and saving power.

Eliminate the guesswork from commissioning. ViE provides a dedicated software ecosystem, including the powerful ViMO-Scope oscilloscope tool. This allows engineers to trace current feedback, velocity, and position errors in real-time, graphically comparing commanded motion profiles against actual motor responses for perfect fine-tuning.

The iM4401-01 and iMU401-0N utilize optically isolated signal inputs (featuring 3750 Vrms isolation on the iMU401-0N inputs) to safeguard the internal logic and host PC from voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference. Both operate reliably on a wide 20 VDC to 50 VDC input voltage range.

Overview

This high-performance module translates rapid incremental encoder signals into precise, real-time data via the 100 Mbps EtherCAT protocol for sophisticated motion tracking.

Key Features

Built to handle the fastest manufacturing processes, the module features a robust 32-bit counter capable of processing high-speed Line Receiver encoder signals at frequencies up to 2.5 MHz.

Seamlessly integrate with virtually any incremental encoder standard. The module offers fully software-selectable decoding modes, including Quadrature (X4, X2, X1), Pulse/Direction, and CW/CCW.

Industrial factory floors are notorious for electromagnetic interference (EMI). To guarantee pristine data integrity, the iM8E7N-44 is equipped with a software-configurable digital glitch filter—allowing engineers to dynamically set noise suppression thresholds at 100 KHz, 500 KHz, 1 MHz, or 2.5 MHz.

For applications requiring exact synchronization, the module supports a selectable counter initial value that can be automatically loaded into the 32-bit counter the moment a dedicated hardware trigger signal is received.
