Linear Actuator Products with Programming Capability

For maximum flexibility, the IDEA Drive is also available in a stand-alone compact programmable drive module that will operate all Haydon™ linear actuators up to and including the size 23.

The IDEA Drive technology is unique; it utilizes a patent-pending Graphic User Interface that allows easy programming of the unit. Programming the IDEA Drive is through the use of on-screen buttons instead of complicated command sets or other proprietary programming languages. The software allows the system designer to easily troubleshoot programs through line-by-line or multiple line program execution using the interactive "debug" feature. I/O can be simulated and tested in software before connecting any I/O hardware.

Other features include programmable current control, a single supply voltage of 12 to 48 VDC, up to 2.6Arms (3.68Apeak) max rated current per phase, and 8 opto-isolated general purpose I/O. The inputs are rated for 5 to 24 VDC, 4mA max per input. The outputs are open collector, 5 to 24 VDC, 200mA maximum per output.
