The Serial Bipolar Stepper Motor Driver is a combination of our popular KT-5190 Serial Stepper Controller and the KT-5196 Bipolar Stepper Motor Driver.
You simply write ascii commands through the PC's serial port to the card to control each of the stepper motors.

Examples of the commands are
@01 AMOV 2000 do an absolute move of stepper 1 to position 2000
@02 RMOV -400 do a relative move of stepper 2 400 steps backwards
@03 POSN 10000 indicate stepper 3 is at position 1000
@04 STOP stop stepper 4
@01 STAT card sends the status of motors 1 to 4 whether they are moving or not and status of limit switches.

Positions can be between -99999999 and 99999999 steps.

The new card features
- accepts the same serial ASCII commands as the KT-5190 to drive the motor eg @01 RMOV 10000
- accelerate and decelerate motors
- control up to 4 KT-5197's from the one RS232 serial port
- accepts a 0-5V signal to control the speed of the stepper motor.
- a double sided PCB (more reliable and no links to solder).
- screw Terminals for all inputs, power connections and motor connections.
- Full and Half Step (less resonance problems) operation
- Step and Direction Input.
- an enable input which will remove all power to the motor

The KT-5197 is able to drive 4 wire (and 6 or 8 wire) bipolar stepper motors at up to 8 amps.

Dimensions 75x105x20mm
