The MBC25081 is a 2.5 amps/phase bipolar microstep driver capable of running four, six, and eight lead step motors. The MBC25081 has an output current range of 0.5 to 2.5 amps/phase and operates off 12VDC minimum to 24VDC maximum. The inputs are capable of running from either open collector or TTL level logic outputs, or sourcing 24VDC outputs from PLCs. The MBC25081 features selectable resolutions from 200 - 1600 steps/revolution, (divide by 2, 4, 8 or full step) providing smooth rotary operation. The MBC25081 features include built in over temperature and short circuit shut down, automatic 70% reduction in current after clock pulses stop being received, and status LEDs to indicate power on (green LED) and clocks being received (yellow LED). The MBC25081 is a compact, low profile package meant to be used where space is limited but performance is expected. A power supply is required, purchased separately.
