PLUS K4 model is based on a boxed hardware (152 x 129 x 46 mm) and is equipped with plug-in connectors, separated for power and logic sections. It is able to drive motors up to 6 Amps and it is the perfect choice for mid power applications needing an AC power input and a programmable motion controller.
RTA’s PLUS series features medium-high power bipolar ministep drives. It is based on 5 families with different possibilities of command, interface and power input. All models are equipped with Chopper systems featuring high performance Mosfet power stages, microstepping up to 4.000 step/rev. and power input in AC (PLUS B, K, J, E, L) or DC (PLUS A). PLUS E and PLUS L series have to be used in coupling with EM series stepper motors from RTA, equipped with encoders that are able to detect loss of synchronism of the motors.

PROGRAMMABLE MOTION CONTROLLER FEATURES
* Communication through RS485 serial line; up to 48 can be connected on a single serial line. One instruction can be broadcasted to all drives.
* Possibility to control the execution of 16 previously stored motion programs through hardware inputs. Accordingly, the drive can be used in stand-alone applications, without serial connection.
* Various type of available instructions, as for example: indexed run with ramp, free run with ramp, indexed run without ramp, run with a programmable braking distance, zero research. Space can be programmed in relative or absolute mode (linear or circular).
* Number of steps for indexed ramp up to ± 8.338.607 in relative or absolute mode, speed from 1 to 24.000 Hz in standard or increased resolution, ramp times from 16 to 1440 msec.
* Availability of instructions to development programs as, for example: conditional jump time delay, program block and recovery, I/O management, , FOR NEXT loop.
* 11 inputs and 6 outputs, all optically insulated. Among them 3 inputs and 4 outputs are freely programmable.
* Memory of 128 instructions kept also at drive switched-off and three run time instructions.
* A utility working in Windows® is available in order to ease motion programs development by the user.
* Alarm memory by use of yellow blinking led.
