For less than the cost of a separate controller, drive, and motor, AMCI’s SMD Series integrated stepper motors provide simple motion control at the right price, and are available with a wide variety of sizes, torque options, and features for any application.
PART NUMBER GUIDE
User Manual
The Package
AMCI's SMD17L is a size 17 3-in-1 Integrated Stepper Motor, Drive, and Controller package with network interface. It is a self-contained motion control product that is easy to install while delivering best in class performance at a competitive price.
AMCI's SMD17L incorporates a Stepper Motor + Drive + Controller into a single product that interfaces to your PLC or PAC over the network (IO-Link). We've reduced total system costs and simplified installation because you only have to purchase one product versus a separate controller, drive, and motor. Plus, programming & configuration is streamlined because it uses standard commands through your PLC's software that are communicated over the network. No additional software is required, and you don't need to learn another programming language! AMCI's SMD17L integrates with your PLC or PAC, saving you time and money.
Superior Durability
All units come standard with rugged industrial M12 connectors to provide superior durability. For applications requiring an IP64 rating (protection from dust and splashing water), you can opt for an SMD17L unit with a shaft seal.
Move Verification
AMCI's SMD17L Networked Series is available with an incremental or absolute encoder for move verification and closed-loop feedback.
Flexible
If you're seeking flexibility, AMCI's SMD17L scores high marks. We've made it easy to add stepper axes wherever you need them on your IO-Link network, just plug in another SMD17L and select your network with our simple web server - and you're ready to go.
SynchoStep Technology
AMCI’s SynchroStep technology enables coordinated motion control between the SMD17L and the PLC platform's motion axes (servo, VFD, etc). The SMD17L can be synchronized and geared to a master Virtual axis within the PLC, filling a gap that currently exists in the industry for small, inexpensive synchronized motion solution offerings. The SMD Series’ unique approach to PLC-integration simplifies configuration, programming, and coordinated motion.
AMCI's SMD Series is available with a Stainless Steel Coating that provides superior, long-lasting protection against corrosion and wear in even the toughest industrial environments. AMCI's coating provides the best protection available from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays, chemicals, oils, alkalis, food acids, water immersion, abrasion, and high-pressure washdowns.
Prized for its performance and appearance, AMCI's Stainless Steel IP67 Coating protects the SMD Series in applications including processing, packaging, food, pharmaceutical, equipment manufacture and other industries where strong requirements exist for preventing premature destruction of surfaces caused by exposure to water and other corrosive elements.
AMCI products are uniquely designed to provide the best PLC integration available. Unlike other products that require a separate software package for configuration or operation, AMCI's PLC-based products are programmed using your PLC's software - nothing new to buy or learn!
For over 15 years, AMCI has been engineering integrated motion technologies that fill a gap in the market like no other product. And our expertise with the leading PLC manufacturers (e.g. Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, GE, etc) is unmatched when it comes to high performance Specialty I/O, Position Sensing, and Motion Control technology.
