Description
The 3540i is a programming step motor driver suitable for
a wide range of motion control applications. It includes a
sophisticated controller integrated with a 140 watt micro-
stepping amplifier.
The 3540i includes Applied Motion’s easy to use
Si Pro-
grammer™
Windows software for the rapid development of
stand-alone motion control programs. The 3540i can also
be commanded in real time from a host PC or PLC, using
the
Si Command Language™ .
For multi-axis applications, up to eight Applied Motion
Si™
drives (stepper or Servo) can be networked using a single
SiNet™ Hub.
The 3540i includes 8 optically isolated programmable inputs
for triggering, branching, position sensing and end of travel
detection. 3 optically isolated programmable outputs can
send signals to other electronic devices and activate relays.
