JVL has now launched its latest innovative product: “QuickStep”, the integrated step motor. The Pulse/Direction model of QuickStep was introduced some time ago with great success. This has now been supplemented with the introduction of a QuickStep model which provides a position controller, PLC facilities and a serial interface with optional encoder and CANopen interface. All electronics are integrated into the motor itself, providing a very compact and complete unit. This minimises cabling costs since machine sensors can be connected directly to the motor. Control cabinets can often be either totally redundant or significantly reduced in size.

• Serial communication from a PC or PLC via RS485
• Built-in PLC with graphic programming and arithmetic functions.
• 8 I/O, 5-28V DC which can be configured as inputs, outputs, or analogue inputs.
• Magnetic encoder with 1024 pulses/rev.
• CANbus and CANopen DSP 402.
• Pulse/Direction with freely programmed gear ratio.
• M12 connectors for high level of protection in aggressive environments.
• User-friendly software and oscilloscope function.
• Uses MAC protocol so MAC motors and QuickStep motors can be connected to the same RS485 bus.
• Dual supply so position and parameters can be maintained during emergency stop.
• Power supply 12-48V DC.
• NEMA23 flange.
• Motor torque: 1.1 to 2.9Nm.

Together, the two models of the QuickStep motor, with either Pulse/Direction or Positioning controller, meet the needs of any step-motor application.
