USB Serial Stepper Motor Controller on DIN Rail Mount

The KTA-290 is a USB or RS-485 controller card that generates the pulses to feed to up to four axes of stepper or servo motor drivers. Simple commands allow the independent motion of the motors. The step and direction outputs of the card can connect directly to almost any stepper or servo motor driver, including the full range of our Leadshine motor drives. Once connected to a computer, the card appears as a virtual serial (COM) port. The card also acts as a USB to RS-485 serial converter, allowing you to multidrop up to 4 interface cards off the RS-485 serial line. This allows control of up to 16 axes of motors. The KTA-290 is a major improvement over our KTA-190, featuring more accurate frequency generation, smoother ramping and USB communication. It uses many of the same simple ASCII commands. Motors connected to the 290 are controlled using simple ASCII commands. Any terminal program (Hyperterm, TeraTerm, RealTerm etc.) or programming language capable of sending strings out a serial port can be used to generate the strings for the controller. We provide a free Windows example program with Visual Basic source code that allows a sequence of commands to be sent out the serial port.
