The MForce MicroDrive Speed Control is an advanced, high resolution microstepping driver developed for intelligent velocity control from an array of possible input sources. Features include:
- 10-bit analog input which can operate in three different input modes: voltage, current and PWM.
- 20 microstep resolutions from full step to 51,200 steps per revolution.
- Programmable Run and Hold Current
- All parameters are software configuarable (setup utility included) - no external switches or resistors required.

| QuickStart Kit |
 |
All-inclusive QuickStart Kits facilitate rapid design verification by bundling any MForce product -- built to your specifications -- with everything needed to connect quickly and conveniently, enabling engineers to confirm with confidence that their application’s design goals are met. QuickStart Kits include: a single sheet instruction guide, software/manuals CD, and connecting cabling including Communications Converter and Prototype Development Cable(s).
Order QuickStart Kits simply by placing a “K-” at the beginning of an MForce part number |
| CONNECTIVITY NOTE: Communications Converters and Prototype Development Cables, in addition to Mating Connector Kits for use in building your own cables, are available separately. Refer to the following section for more complete details. |
