    Stepper Motor Controller/Drives

    Tell your stepper motor how far and fast to go by adding a controller and drive to your system. A controller is similar to a PLC—they store and run programs and send signals to a drive. These controllers have commands specifically for stepper motors such as number of steps and direction. The drive delivers power to the motor based on the signals from the controller.
    Simplify setup with these single units. The controller and drive are combined, so you can determine all your settings from one device including number of steps, direction, and step resolution. They have multiple inputs and outputs to communicate with more than just a motor. Connect sensors and switches or link multiple controllers together to coordinate movements between motors.
    Choose a controller/drive rated at or below your motor’s maximum current.
    Encoder Compatible—Encoder-compatible controller/drives are best when relative positioning is critical, such as coordinating motion in a multi-axis system. They connect to an encoder (not included), which monitors the position of the motor's shaft and reports back to the controller.
    Step Resolution—Step resolution determines the size of the step a motor takes. For example, setting a 1/128 step resolution on your controller/drive divides one full step into 128 smaller steps. The smaller the steps your motor takes the more smoothly and precisely it will move.
