Description
The 1240i is a low cost, programmable step
motor driver, suitable for a wide range of
motion control applications. It includes a
sophisticated controller integrated with a
50 watt microstepping amplifier.
The 1240i includes Applied Motion’s easy
to use Si Programmer™ Windows software
for the rapid development of stand
alone motion control programs. The 1240i
can also be commanded in real time from a
host PC or PLC, using the SiNet Command
Language™.
For multi-axis applications, up to eight 1240i
drives can be networked using the SiNet
Hub-8. The hub also allows the 1240i to be
mixed with any of the other six Si™ drive
models, fulfilling the exact requirements of
your application at the lowest possible cost.
The 1240i includes 8 programmable inputs
for triggering, branching, position sensing
and end of travel detection. 3 programmable
outputs can send signals to other
electronic devices and activate relays.
