Works with AZ Series Family of Products

The AZ Series Mini Driver works with a variety of AlphaStep AZ Series, DC input products. This driver can be controlled using RS-485 communication and daisy chained to maximize design, space and improve installation time. The Mini Driver is also designed to be close to the motor, making it ideal for Robotic type applications.

The elimination of switches and I/O connectors allows for a compact and lightweight design. Utilizes the MEXE02 Support Software, available for free download.

Compact and Lightweight Design

Compact design allows for installation in tight spaces. With a weight of just 39 g (1.4 oz), even when installed on moving components, the load torque and inertial moment can be reduced, resulting in more freedom in mechanical and control cabinet design.

In addition, by installing the driver close to the motor, the connection cables can be shortened, resulting in reduced equipment weight, decreased cost and a reduction of complicated wiring.

This 7-axis articulated robot demonstration exclusively utilizes the AZ Series family of motors and actuators and driven by Oriental Motor's new AZ Mini driver.

Control via RS-485 Communication

RS-485 communication can be used to set operating data and parameters as well as input operation commands. The protocol is supported by Modbus (RTU) and can be used to connect to touch screens and computers.

Daisy-Chaining*

A daisy-chain connection of multiple drivers to the host and power supply is supported. This provides the advantage of reduced wiring and easier connection management and maintenance.

*When daisy-chaining to a power supply, make sure that the total input current for the drivers is 6.5 A or less.
