ACM4806E & ACM4826E

Haydon Kerk Stepper Motor Programmable Drive ACM4806-ACM4826
Watch this video to learn more about the IDEA Drive technology!
The ACM4806E and ACM4826E IDEATM Drive Stepper Motor Controllers use RS-485 for communication and are available in two current ratings. In addition to the stand-alone models, drives are available integrated on motor and linear actuator assemblies.

Features :
  • RS-485 Communication protocol
  • Stand-alone drive unit or integrated directly onto a linear actuator
  • Programming done through Graphic User Interface (GUI)
  • Automatic population of motor and drive parameters
  • Programmable Speed / Current / Accel-Decel / Current Boost / Interrupts / I/O
  • Encoder Input / Stall Detection with Compensation / Position Verification
  • Movement Profile Plotter
  • Interactive Program Debug Feature
  • Maximum current ratings of 0.6 Arms or 2.6 Arms
