schafbo Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hello, I have a V130 (RA-22) PLC and recently obtained a stepper motor and driver board that I was hoping to use. The RA-22 model of the V130 doesn't have high speed outputs, are the regular outputs (it has relay and analog outputs) fast enough send pulses to the stepper motor driver? Or do I need to purchase a high speed output module to use the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.pratt Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hello, What kind of driver are you using? What type of inputs does this driver accept? Does it accept communication commands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schafbo Posted August 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 The driver is a Lin Engineering R1025 with just step and direction inputs, there's no serial or other communication interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, The relay outputs have about 100,000 cycle lifespan - they are not recommended to be used as pulse outputs. I would recommend switching to a unit that has high-speed outputs. I would suggest one of the following part numbers if you wish to continue with the V130: - V130-TR20 - V130-TR34 - V130-TR6 - V130-TRA22 The TRA22 will most closely relate to the model you have now, it just has 4 relay outputs and 4 high-speed outputs compared to 8 relay outputs that you have now. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
