Mercury Step Stepper Motor Controller, 1 Axis, 2-Phase, 24-48 VDC, USB and RS-232

The Mercury Step is a single-axis stepper motor controller designed for precise positioning and motion control of 2-phase stepper motors. It supports both open-loop and closed-loop operation and provides a high microstep resolution of 1/2048 of a full step.

The controller supports point-to-point motion with a trapezoidal velocity profile and provides encoder inputs for closed-loop positioning. USB and RS-232 communication interfaces allow connection to a computer or control system, while analog and digital I/O provide additional options for automation and system integration.

Multiple controllers can be connected through daisy-chain networking for multi-axis positioning applications. The controller also supports software and programming interfaces for applications including LabVIEW, C, C++, MATLAB, and Python.
