C-630
Apollo Motion Controller/Driver for Stepper Motors
  • 3-Axis, Compact Stepper-Motor Controller/Driver for 2-Phase Motors
  • Up to 50 x Microstep Resolution for Smooth, High-Resolution Positioning
  • Network Feature for Multi-Channel Applications
  • PIIntelliStage™ & PIIntelliStep™ compatible





The new C-630 Apollo controller combines a high-resolution motion controller and driver in an extremely small package. The Apollo is a very cost-effective solution for automation, precision measurements or general positioning tasks in research and industry.

Integrated Drives for High-Resolution Motion
Apollos can drive up to three 2-phase stepper motors simultaneously, and feature microstep technology with up to 20,000 steps/rev. for ultra-smooth, high-resolution motion. Limit switch and reference switch inputs for each axis are provided to protect the mechanics and for easy operation.

Network Capability for Flexible Automation
For control of more than three axes, the Appollo's network functionality comes in handy. Up to three controllers can be linked and controlled over a single interface.

The network may include up to three Apollo controllers or a combination of up to three PIIntelliStages™ and two Apollos.

Each Apollo controller includes software, an RS-232 communications cable and a wide-range power supply for universal operation.

Easy-To-Use Software and Drivers
Windows™ software is provided with Apollo controllers for easy installation and operation. It is derived from the PIIntelliStage™ Lance Software, and is able to run both Apollos and PIIntelliStages™ in the same window.

Window DLLs and LabViewTM Drivers are also provided for advanced programming and integration into existing user program environments.

Configuration example of a combined PIIntelliStage™ Apollo network: 4-Axis of motion consisting of 2 PIIntelliStages™ for X and Y motion with an M-062.2S rotary stage for rotation around the vertical (Z) axis and a second smaller M-060.2S for rotation around X or Y. For setup and wiring see block diagram below on the next picture.
