Mr.Crab Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 The smart drives I use from Applied Motion cost about 1000. each. What kind of load are you moving. Wont that determine the size of motor you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Crab Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Most driver cards for the stepper motors use ladder logic. Not my cup of tea. But you can really do things on the cheap if you understand it. Try the plc center in south jersey, they sell refurbished stuff. I'll pm you the actual web site so as not to upset the powers that be.
