Star2000 Step Motor Drives

We supply a wide range of low-cost (but high quality) 2-phase stepper motor drives from the APS range to the Eurostep-3 range. The drives are able to control the smallest stepping motors up to the largest and have a wide variety of features. Select the product below to view: 'Standard' version with 'Step' & 'Direction' inputs and screw connections   'Standard' version with 'Step' & 'Direction' inputs and crimp connections   'Record selection' version with16 record memory and screw connections   'CAN-bus' version with screw connections   'Profi-bus' version with screw connections   Star2000 'Special versions'   Star2000: dual axes drive

The Star2000 series of stepping motor controllers have been designed to provide low-cost control of 2-phase stepping motors such as our Sonceboz and COBRA ranges. They are housed in an IP20 metal enclosure which is suitable for wall mounting and are very robust.
 
There are a number of ways in which the Star 2000 can be controlled. As standard the Star2000 is able to utilize either a RS232 or RS485 interface. They can also be controlled via a 'step and direction' input or they can simply follow a 0-10VDC analogue input. The 'Record Selection' version of the Star2000 enables programs to be stored in the EEPROM of the unit which can then be called upon by 'hard-wired' BCD inputs. These inputs can utilize the unit's own generated 15VDC output or can use an external input such as 24VDC for example. There is also a version of the drive which has a Profibus interface and later in the year it is hoped that we will be in a position to launch a Star2000 drive with a CAN-bus interface.
 
The Star2000 incorporates a quick 16-Bit processor with 128k byte flash EEPROM which means that it is easy to re-program the units for different control requirements. Inputs to the Star 2000 are OPTO isolated with TTL compatibility.
 
Presently the user is able to choose from the following step resolutions: 200, 400, 800,1600 and 3200 steps/rev.
 
As well as the single axis 'APS' version of the Star2000 there is also the 'APD' dual axes version available.
 
SPECIAL NOTE - Please read before ordering to ensure your order the correct part:
 
All the Star2000 units have the "SHS APS3-00.001.01A" main board however there are different Star2000 units within the range. DO NOT use this main board part number as the basis for ordering a spare. The available units are:
 
APS1 (4A)
APS2 (6A)
APS3 (10A)
APS4 (12A)
APS5 (10A)
 
Each of these sizes is available for use with a dc power supply (e.g. APS1-B-00, 40-80Vdc, 4A) or with an ac power supply (e.g. APS1-B-0P, 28-56Vac, 4A).
 
There are two basic units (pulse & direction input) whose main difference is the way in which the control connections are connected to the Star2000 and these are: crimp connections (e.g. APS1-C-00 for a dc power supply); and screw connections (e.g. APS1-B-00 for a dc power supply).
 
For certain applications (such as labelling applications) there may be a special firmware put into a unit. The firmware can be changed so it is possible to go from a 'standard' firmware to a 'special' by flashing the chip. This requires a special piece of equipment to undertake.
 
IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CHECK WITH US BEFORE ORDERING.
 
Finally sometimes there are small hardware changes/additions to the units (as well as firmware additions) and this might be shown by an addition to the part number (e.g. APS3-B-00/D23).
