The DA301 is a multitasking interrupt-driven controller for simultaneous control of up to three stepper motors. The DA301 is designed for incorporation into small motorised instruments. It is tiny, yet has powerful features found only in much more expensive controllers. The controller module is operated using an in-built stepper motor control language that contains over 60 different commands, including test and branch instructions. These are assembled together to form motion macros, which are downloaded to the unit. Macros may be executed individually and can call subroutines. Windows® based software is used to program and configure the DA301. The module will keep its settings and programs indefinitely, but they may also be saved and loaded as disk files. A separate software application is used to program a Master Controller, if one is attached to the system. |
