EZ Motor controllers are the easiest and fastest way to automate motor-driven motion. Our pre-integrated hardware means no wiring or sourcing components such as power supplies, terminal blocks, or motor drives. The drag-and-drop software interface requires no programming experience—so simple a 4th grader can use it, yet powerful enough for industrial tasks. Just attach your motors & encoders using the plug-and-play connectors, and in less than 20 minutes you’ll be up to speed and running your first automated motion sequence.

Description

Designed primarily for R&D and light production environments, the EZ Motor controller includes everything needed to start motor-powered motion in minutes. Use any PC to connect to the controller. The base configuration includes the following:

  • Integrated Controls Enclosure: Motion controller, power supply, and all necessary components already pre-integrated
  • EZ Programmer Software: No-code visual programming for creating sophisticated automated motion quickly and easily

Features:

  • Control of 4 axes of motion
  • Programming capabilities include timers, sequences, if/then logic, pauses, move absolute, move relative, support for linear slides, motor homing, & more
  • Real-Time Display (via PC) shows cycle count, start time, elapsed time, and tools for troubleshooting
  • Emergency Off Button – Performs controlled stop of all axes to stop all motion
  • Plug and play setup; no assembly required

Technical Specifications:

  • Motor Type: Stepper Motor
  • Home/Limit Switch Inputs: Supports 8 digital PNP (or Reed Switch) limit switch Inputs (configured with M8 3-pin male connectors) for use triggering stops and defining home positions
  • Power: Standard 120V
  • Motor Drive Microsteps: 64 (effective 0.028 deg rotational resolution with 200-step (1.8°) motor)
  • Motor voltage: 24V DC
  • I/O: 4 Digital Out (Sourcing), 4 Digital In on M12 Connector, 24VDC
  • Motor connectors: 7/8” 4-pin (power) and 8-pin M12 (encoder)
  • Power: Standard 120V (240W Max Power Consumption)
  • Size: 22.3” (incl. handles) or 18.9” (enclosure) long x 14.0” deep x 6.6” tall
  • Weight: 15.2 lbs (enclosure only, no actuators or cables)

Motor Requirements (if providing your own motor)

  • Max output from controller to motor: 3.0 A
  • Minimum load inductance: 0.5 mH
  • Stepper Motor Type: Bipolar 2 phase
  • Maximum frequency at which drive will command position changes to motor: 6 MHz
  • On special request controller can be configured to run motors on 20-60v DC to meet higher load driving requirements.

Motor Bundle 1 (NEMA 17): 

  • Four NEMA 17 stepper motors (200 steps). 
  • Includes encoders for closed loop control (1,000 steps per revolution). 
  • Four home switches and four limit switches with pre-configured plug-and-play M8 connectors. 
  • Four pre-configured plug-and-play motor cables with 7/8” and M12 power & encoder connectors, respectively. 

Motor Bundle 2 (NEMA 23): 

  • Same as Motor Bundle 1, but NEMA 23 motors instead of NEMA 17 motors 

Applications:

The EZ Motor controller is ideal for:

  • Life cycle testing
  • Developing new manufacturing process
  • Proof of concept or prototype automation
  • R&D activities
  • Design verification & validation
  • Automating manual motion tasks and/or fixtures
  • Assembly processes
  • Other innovative uses by engineering, R&D, or manufacturing teams
