What sort of stepper system would be required if I want to move a stepper motor in two directions, clockwise and counter-clockwise. The required torque would be approximately 0.2lbs-feet and would also require micro-stepping for 1/32 of inch per step.

I want to use a PC using Windows 10 to operate the system. What would the minimum system be needed to meet the above requirements. I am new to stepper motors. STP-MTR-17060 is the motor I believe would meet my requirements.

    There are several options, depending on what you desire/chooses for the interface:

     

    If using Drives and Motors both: STP-DRV-4850 and STP-DRV-80100. RS232. SCL( is using ASCII). Note: RS-232 will allow one stepper drive

     

    If using Integrated Motors Drives: There are many options, please look in ADC store. Instead of RS232 they do: RS-485. SCL ASCII (2- or 4-wire) communications. Note: RS-485 will allow more than one stepper

     

    You will have to develop the protocol yourself. There is a manual for SCL in the documentation.

      I would like to use a .NET API from my PC. I would need to have some device between the stepper motor, driver and encoder to orchestrate all the signals (controller???). We generally use NI Teststand to run our test programs.

        Yes I will use an STP-DRV-4850 with the STP-MTR-17060 using the SCL language. Can I send the SCL commands via PuTTY?
