ZMX+
Stepper motor power stage with ServiceBus
The ZMX+ is a plug-in stepper motor power
stage for 19“ sub-racks with ServiceBus for
motor currents up to 9 APEAK.
Due to improved design and greatly reduced
power dissipation, the ZMX+ provides reliable
high-precision performance with minimised
heat emission.
Parameters can be manually set by switches.
The ServiceBus interface allows several
additional adjustments.

In Focus

Application
The ZMX+ is used in different fields of application: e.g. in inspection and test applications, labelling or packaging machines, in
equipment manufacturing or in beamlines.
The ZMX+ version with a 32 pin VG connector
is pin compatible with commercially available
power stages. The optional ServiceBus connector is placed at the front.

ServiceBus-Comm®

online setting of parameters
during operation via USB,
CAN, RS 485...

The royalty-free ServiceBus protocol with
its extensive command set allows direct
communication between phytron power
stages and the PC or controller connected
— even from a distance. That way not only
start, stop and boost current but also parameters like current delay time can be set
easily.
