Basic-Like Language for Easy Programming

Programmers have the competitive advantage of mixing powerful English-like text with time-saving, graphical "point and click" tools in familiar MS Windows^® environments. For motion control developers familiar with Superior Electric's programming language used in the SLO-SYN family of MX2000 motion controls and TDC servo controllers, or familiar with BASIC, the WARPDRIVE requires no new programming skills. New users will find the language easy to learn since it uses intuitive commands.

Convenient, Compact Packaged System

The SLO-SYN WARPDRIVE Series step motor position system provides a controller and microstepping drive in one convenient, compact package. The microstepping indexer/drive package requires less panel volume and is priced at a savings compared to previous generations of controllers and drives sold separately.

Technology for Smoother Performance

The integral programmable controller uses a patent pending digital microstepping current control technique to provide smooth motor performance.

Greater Flexibility in One Package

• The SLO-SYN WARPDRIVE Series offers features normally found on the most expensive drives. These features enable the WARPDRIVE to be used in a broad range of applications. Features include:

• Robust SS2000D6 Drive Design
• Short Circuit Protection (phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground)
• 16-Bit Micro-Processor
• Built-In BCD Interface with Separate Connector
• 2 Serial Ports, RS232/485 up to 38K Baud
• RS485 Daisy Chaining, up to 32 Units
• An RS232 Communication Cable Used to Program the WARPDRIVE
• Built-In AC Line Filter and MOVs
• IEC 1000-4-4 Standards for Electrical Noise Compliant
• Graphical User Interface Software Available
• UL Recognized and CE Pending
• Optional Terminal Board for Easy Wiring
• All Mounting Hardware Included

Reduce Current capability allows setting standstill current from 0% to 100% in 10% increments. (Allows the motor to cool down at standstill, prolonging the life of the motor.)

Boost Current capability allows setting current during acceleration and deceleration from 100% to 200% in 10% increments up to a maximum level of 6 amperes. (Provides additional torque during acceleration and deceleration.)

Microstepping Resolution

The resolution of this drive is internally set to 1/64 of a step or 12,800 microsteps/rev. This resolution will give you a very smooth motion at slow speeds. An adjustable smoothing factor also improves low speed smoothness.

All program distances and speeds are programmed in engineering units. Achieving different increments can be done by setting USER UNITS to the appropriate increment needed for a particular application.
