SGS-THOMSON GS-DC200 Family Stepper Motor Control Datasheet

The GS-DC200 series is a family of single Eurocard boards that contain all the logic necessary to operate a stepper motor, including the instructions decoding, the step timing generation, the storage of the program to be executed. The motor interface can deliver phase current up to 2.5A. The boards can be used as a stand alone complete motion control system or they can be driven by a central host computer. The GS-DC200 family isbuilt around the GS-C200, GS-C200S, GS-D200, GS-D200S modules, (see the relevant data sheet) and it retains all the features of these modules.
