Description
The NI 9501 C Series Stepper Drive Module, with part numbers 150629A-01L and 779767-01, is a sophisticated component categorized under C Series Motion. This module is designed to provide precision control and is compatible with 2-phase hybrid stepper motors, supporting both Bipolar or Unipolar winding configurations.
It is specifically engineered to work seamlessly with NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 stepper motors, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications. Additionally, the NI-9501 is fully compatible with the CompactRIO platform, ensuring easy integration into existing systems.
One of the key features of this module is its ability to support various stepping rates, including full step, half step, and microstepping (up to a maximum of 256 steps), offering flexibility in motion control precision. It also boasts a low-speed resonance range between 50 to 150 RPM, catering to applications that require precise low-speed operations.
Furthermore, the module includes a software-programmable Current Reduction property, allowing for efficient power management. The advanced PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) algorithm it employs significantly minimizes torque ripple, reduces emissions, and lowers power loss, ultimately generating smoother motion. These features make the NI 9501 an ideal solution for demanding motion control applications.
