Description
The Part Number for this item is 150629C-01L (779767-01), categorizing it within the C Series Motion group. Its model is identified as NI-9501, specifically denoted as the NI 9501 C Series Stepper Drive Module. This module is designed for compatibility with 2-phase hybrid stepper motors in either bipolar or unipolar configurations, ensuring a broad range of application uses.
When it comes to supported motor types, the module is capable of working with NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 stepper motors, providing flexibility in the choice of motors for users. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the CompactRIO platform, making it an ideal choice for developers working within this ecosystem.
The NI-9501 offers a range of stepping rates, including full step, half step, and microstepping rates up to a maximum of 256. This feature allows for precise control over motor movement, suitable for a variety of applications. Additionally, it addresses low-speed resonance issues by providing optimal performance at speeds between 50 and 150 RPM, ensuring smoother operation at these critical speeds.
To further enhance its performance, the module includes a software-programmable phase current reduction feature, along with a delay before activation. This functionality allows for reduced power consumption and heat generation during operation, contributing to the longevity and reliability of both the module and the stepper motor it controls.
