Description
The Si5580 is a programmable stepper drive/indexer
packaged in a rugged steel case painted black with white
epoxy silkscreen. Integral heat sink, mounting brackets,
switch covers and connectors are included with each
Si5580. The drive/indexer has been matched with twelve
recommended NEMA 23 & 34 motors and comes with all
operating software necessary to create a complete stepper
motion solution.
The Si5580 includes Applied Motion Products’,
Microsoft Windows based, Si™ software language for
quick set up and ease of use. The Si™ is ideal for standalone
operation. For more experienced users, with software
development expertise, the Si5580 also comes with
Applied’s Si Command Language (SCL) programming
instruction set. SCL allows for control of the Si™ drive
from a host PC or PLC thus permitting the user to perform
a variety of motion, I/O tasks and system status retrieval
via the host.
Multiple axis applications are handled by our SiNet™ Hub
Programmer, which gives you the ability to control up to 8
Si™ drives, either stepper or servo on the same hub. Not
only can you coordinate up to eight motors, the hub also
has access to the inputs and outputs of all the drives, providing
your program with up to 64 inputs and 24 outputs.
You can also use Applied’s MMI which allows the machine
operator to enter specific motion commands.
Factory set to operate at 110-volt input; the Si5580 can be
set by the user to operate at 220-volt input by a simply
switch selection.
Pluggable screw terminal blocks are provided for the
I/O, motor and AC power inputs. Mating connectors,
programming cable with computer interface connector
as well as all operating software are provided with each
Si™ drive.
The Si5580 is both CE and TUV compliant.
