LAM DS50 stepper drive range with RTU-Modbus interface

The DS5x two phase stepper motor drives series is composed of 24 different models, subdivided in 8 power sizes and 3 different interface types: DS50-RS485, DS52-RS232, DS54-USB. The communication interface is insulated from the power supply to provide reliability and noise immunity.

The chosen communication protocol is the Modbus-RTU industrial standard which offers good performances at low costs. Through the commands set provided by the protocol, the master device (PC, PLC, etc.) is able to access in real time to the driver’s registers and to the user’s variables, freely declarable during programming, which can represent a data exchange area between the master device and the user’s program in execution in the driver.

Connection overview for the DS 5x series stepper drives.

NOTE: D-Type or USB port dependent on type 

The programming capability and the flexibility offered by the available programming blocks (which also include mathematical blocks) together with the many I/O resources which the driver is provided with, allow to simply realize applications with decentralized intelligence which relieve the master from the most onerous real-time activities and reduce the data traffic on the communication bus.
