Microstepping Systems Accessories - Multi-axis HUB with I/O

Multi-axis Motion HUB with I/O

• Networks Stepper products for multi-axis motion applications
  
• For real time execution of commands downloaded from a host PC or PLC using Applied Motion’s Si Command Language™(SCL)
  
• Programmable for stand alone single or multi-axis operations with Applied Motion’s easy to use SiNet Hub Programmer™ Windows software (software and programming cable included)
  
• Communication via RS232
  
• Four optically isolated programmable inputs
  
• Four optically isolated programmable outputs
  
• Optional DIN rail mounting

The HUB [SiNet™Hub444] allows up to 4 Stepper or Servo drives to be controlled in host mode from a single PC or PLC’s RS-232 serial port or will run in stand-alone mode. Each indexer-drive acquires its unique address from the port to which it is connected. This simple addressing scheme minimizes the cost of the drives, and more importantly, the cost of configuring and/or replacing drives in your system. Connections are made with low cost, reliable telephone cabling.

Any of our popular, cost-effective programmable Stepper or Servo drives or Si™motor controls can be used with the HUB [SiNet™Hub444]. By choosing the power level and features you need for each axis of your application, SiNet™ can provide a cost effective single or multi-axis motion solution.

The HUB [SiNet™Hub444] is powered by the drive that is connected to port #1, saving you the cost and installation expense of using a separate power supply. Si™Command Language (SCL) allows a host PC or PLC to execute relative, absolute and homing moves, make status inquiries, sample inputs, set outputs, and more.

SiNet Programmer™Windows® software allows the user to create and store multi-axis motion control programs in the HUB [SiNet™Hub444] and run them without a PC. This function allows the user to create a complex multi-axis motion system controlled from an operator interface or trigger.
