Panasonic Motor usable with NI stepper controller?

[John_]

Dear All,

Kindly if you may advise if followings can be used with  NI  STEPPER  (non-servo) motion controller

Panasonic Motor  MSMA042A1H
Panasonic Motor  MSMA042A1G(with break)
Panasonic Driver (Amplifier)  MSDA043A1A

It takes DIR / STEP pulsing signal inputs  (or CW /CCW)

Many thanks in advance

John,

It sounds like it should work fine, but I cannot say for sure unless I look at the manual for the Panasonic Driver.

If you could provide me with a link to the english version of the driver's user manual I should be able to give you a more confident answer.

We have searched the Panasonic web and failed to locate manual for this particular model, although manuals for other models were found.

Any chance you may have enquiry contact at your USA Panasonic office.

We have asked at our end for 3 days, no reply yet.

John,

I tried calling Panasonic.  The guy on the phone gave me an email address.  I don't have a contact for the Industrial division of Panasonic.

Like I said before, most likely our drives will work with your motor because we do support Step and Direction inputs.  Our boards also support CW/CCW input also.
