I need to either have my stepper drive or motor a far distance from my controller. What distance can i have between the two?
A. The distance from the drive to the motor can be up to 50 feet with the standard cable. If you need further distance you can use a shielded, low inductance cable that is larger gauge (ie. a motor with AWG 24 gauge wire should have an AWG 20 gauge cable). With our step and direction drives, you can have 50 feet between the source of the pulses and our drive, using a shielded cable. If you are communicating via serial RS232 to a computer, most stepper drives can be up to 25 feet from the computer.
