73006054 Dual Microstepping Motor Driver
The LEP Dual Microstepping
Motor Driver is designed to work with precision
automation devices. The drive is capable of very
high microstep resolution; up to 40,000 microsteps
per revolution with a standard 1.8 degree stepper
motor. The drive module can source up to 2 amps per
phase at 24 volts. The motor current is precision
regulated by the microprocessor. Designed expressly
for precision instrumentation, the unique DC linear
power regulation of the MAC 6000 Microstepping Motor
Driver provides the highest performance and
precision without excessive motor heating or EMI
radiation that can sometimes be a problem with
conventional microstepping drives. The LEP Dual
Microstepping Motor Driver has inputs for end
limits, pre-limits (deceleration), and index
signals. In addition, the motor driver supports
manual control with joystick (analog) and/or
trackball (digital) inputs. For integration with
high throughput systems, there are digital sync
inputs and outputs to link motor position to signal
acquisition.
73006042 Interface Module
The MAC 6000 interface module
is the brain of the MAC 6000 system. This module
processes all of the commands from host systems,
supervises all of the modules on the MAC 6000
‘stack’ and executes scripts for autonomous control.
The MAC 6000 interface provides dual RS-232 ports,
USB and Ethernet connectivity … simultaneously. Each
interface option functions as an independent
communications port enabling configuration
flexibility and the possibility of more than one
host connection. The MAC 6000 command set maintains
compatibility with previous MAC 5000 system. A MAC
6000 specific command set provides state of the art
communication with streamlined commands and
programmable event based messaging. For example,
utilizing the event based messaging, the MAC 6000
can be configured to send a message to the host
computer when a device has begun it move, stopped or
changed position. This type of messaging eliminates
the common, inefficient polling loops that are
required with most systems. Your microscope is a web
server! The MAC 6000 has built-in web server
capability. Primarily provided to make system
configuration easier, the web server function can be
used for remote control and monitoring of the system
or to provide a simple, universal local display of
system status. The possibilities are endless.
73006081 Dual DC Servo Filter Wheel Control Module
LEP manufactures a wide array
of filter wheels for microscopes. The Dual DC Servo
Filter Wheel Control Module provides the control for
these wheels. As each wheel has an embedded memory
device that identifies all of the characteristics of
that particular wheel the control module then
adjusts operating parameters to match the wheel.
Since each parameter set is tuned for the wheel and
application, the performance is assured.
Sophisticated interface I/O capability provides
gating signals for either triggering filter position
or triggering external devices. For example, with
proper interfacing, a system can be configured to
position a filter, output a signal to a camera which
in turn signals back to the controller when the
frame is complete so the next filter can be
positioned.
73006055 Dual DC Servo Motor Driver
The Dual DC Servo
Motor Driver is capable of driving two independent
DC servo motors. For applications that require high
speed and high power DC servo motors are often
used. Designed for precision instrumentation, with
high resolution encoders, the DC Servo Motor Driver
features fully programmable servo parameters along
with command compatibility with the
LEP Dual Microstepping Motor
Driver.
This module has inputs for end limits, pre-limits
(deceleration), and index signals. In addition, the
motor driver supports manual control with joystick
(analog) and/or trackball (digital) inputs. For
integration with high throughput systems, there are
digital sync inputs and outputs to link motor
position to signal acquisition.
73006056 Focus Control Module
Focus motor control
requires more than a simple motor drive. The Focus
control module is a single axis version of the
73006054 Dual Microstep Motor
Drive
with additional capability such as electronic motor
disengagement, high resolution encoder feedback
inputs and additional manual control features. Like
the 73006054 Drive, the Focus Control Module is
designed for optimum performance with the LEP focus
motors optionally utilizing linear encoder feedback.
The high stability and low EMI make this device
especially suited to the laboratory environment
where sensitive electronic instrumentation can be
affected by some types of motion control.
73006063 Piezo Drive Module
The MAC 6000 solution for Piezo
transducer control is the 73006063 Piezo Drive
Module. This module provides high resolution, high
performance control for the Piezo focus devices.
This module is very flexible and achieves the high
speed with resolution that is required for
demanding, cutting-edge microscopy techniques.
Featuring very flexible and powerful control modes,
the Piezo Drive module can be controlled with
standard LEP MAC 6000 motion commands, analog
control signals and digital control signals. Manual
control is also available for interactive operation.
73006060 General Purpose I/O Module
The Digital/Analog Interface
module provides discrete inputs and outputs for
sensing and control. The ability to read switches
and sense analog levels can be very useful in
applications where sensing of switches, controlling
valves, detecting temperature levels is important.
There are endless applications for this module!
73006080 Dual Step Motor Filter Wheel Control Module
The Dual Stepper
Motor Filter Changer supports two filter wheels or
one dual filter wheel and up to three shutters.
Manual filter and shutter control is provided from
the convenient front panel switches. Similar to the
73006081 Dual DC Servo Filter
Wheel Control Module,
this module recognizes the filter wheel and set
parameters accordingly. While most LEP stepper motor
filter wheels are no longer available as standard
catalog items, this module will support most legacy
wheels and proprietary designs.
73006068 Multi Shutter Control Module
The MAC 6000 Multi Shutter Control Module controls
up to 4 independent shutters. The advanced shutter
control utilizes precision timing of the shutter
motion to minimize vibration without compromising
performance. The controller can be fully integrated
with external bi-directional synchronization inputs
and outputs.
The Multi Shutter Control Module is fully command
compatible with shutter commands used in both the DC
servo and stepper motor filter control modules.
