The T/P2035O step motor driver is a full or half step drive, step phase sequencer with three state switching amplifiers and opto-isolated circuits. This drive has a built in ramping pulse generator (oscillator) with adjustable speed, acceleration and deceleration. Oscillator speed range is 0–5,000 Hz. Speed can be set from on-board trimpot or external pot.
A jumper allows you to select the internal oscillator. In Oscillator mode, the pulse input becomes a run/stop signal: when this signal is set high, the motor accelerates to a preset speed and slews. Lowering the input signal causes the drive to decelerate to rest.
The amplifier regulates motor current by chopping at a constant, inaudible frequency. Phase current is selected from 16 levels by a DIP switch.

The T/P2035XD step motor driver is a two axis, software configured step/direction or oscillator drive. Drives can be quickly and precisely configured using our eXposition™ software and a Windows PC.
When configured for Pulse/Direction mode, the two drives can be commanded by the step and direction signals available from many PLCs and step motor indexers.
In oscillator mode, the two drives generate their own acceleration and deceleration profiles and are commanded by digital run/stop signals. These signals can be supplied by PLCs, mechanical switches, single board computers or other motion control devices. Speeds may be fixed or can be set "on the fly" by 0 to 5 volt analog signals.
