Acromag NT2710 stepper motor controller module

Metromatics has announced the local availability of the Acromag NT2710 stepper motor controller module, the latest addition to Acromag’s BusWorks NT Series of Ethernet I/O solutions.

The NT2710 provides six pulse train/logic outputs, six encoder inputs and four general-purpose digital I/O channels for stepper motor driver control. A wide range of commands allow for precise management of position, speed and direction, while linear, triangular, trapezoidal and S-Curve acceleration/deceleration profiling helps provide smoother movement and reduced mechanical stress in demanding applications.

Supporting Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, and Profinet protocols, the NT2710 is designed to integrate seamlessly with PCs, PLCs and PACs. For IIoT environments, it also includes an OPC UA server, MQTT client and RESTful API, making it suitable for smart manufacturing, predictive maintenance, and remote monitoring systems.

Designed for scalability, NTE Ethernet models offer dual RJ45 ports for communication plus stepper I/O channels. Users can expand the system by linking up to three NTX modules on the DIN rail bus, achieving control of up to 64 channels per Ethernet IP address. Other NT Series modules can also be combined to monitor or control voltage, current, temperature and discrete signals, enabling a fully integrated automation solution.

Typical applications for the NT2710 include machining, packaging, dispensing, positioning and printing systems, along with any industrial process requiring accurate motion control.
