IRO23 NEMA23 RS-485 Integrated Stepper Motor
Product Introduction
IRO23 is a high-integrated and compact size stepper driver. It adopts standard RS485 communication protocol, can be connected with PLC, HMI, industrial computer and other upper computer with only two communication lines.
Up to 32 axes of motion platform networking can be achieved with its built-in motion control commands. IRO can be set to 1-256 subdivisions and adopts built-in micro-subdivision technology, which can achieve high subdivision effects even under low subdivision conditions, ensuring that the motor operates with uniform step intervals and no large or small step problems.
