Step3S stepper motor driver for 3 or 4 Axes
Product number:
SW10043
Product information "Step3S stepper motor driver for 3 or 4 Axes"
For the direct control of stepper motors, we offer our proven Step3S board, which has been further developed many times. With the Step3S card, 3 stepper motors can be directly controlled with up to 3A phase current. To extend the function, the Step1S card is available for a fourth axis and the Step3S-IO card for additional inputs and outputs. The Step3S card has been specially designed for use with WinPC-NC, but is also compatible with any other clock and direction interface from other manufacturers.
The Step3S is available both individually and in a robust desktop housing.
A 25-pin cable for direct connection to the controller is included in the delivery.
The Step3S is available both individually and in a robust desktop housing.
Highlights of the Step3S board:
- Up to 3 axes controllable, with Step1S expansion card up to 4 axes
- Phase current adjustable from 1A to 3A in 0.25A steps for each axis
- Step resolution adjustable in full, half, quarter, eighth and 1/16 steps or 1/2.5 to 1/10 step with sinusoidal microstep for each axis
- Stepper motors can be connected unipolar and bipolar
- AC or DC operation without external stabilisation, e.g. with toroidal transformer (12-30VAC or 15-42VDC)
- Current reduction at standstill controllable via software input
- Ready switch or EMERGENCY STOP goes directly to Enable of the output stages, e.g. for connection of a safety housing
- Connection terminal for 5 limit and/or reference switches or other signals
- 3 relay outputs (230V-capable) e.g. for drilling spindle and coolant pump, collet chuck/molette
- Operating status indication by LEDs and possibility of integrating them in the front of the housing
- Safety circuit with evaluation of toggle signal to avoid undefined states
- PWM signal evaluation and output 0-10V or 0-5V for spindle control
- Combined plug-in/screw terminals for easy installation and maintenance
- Normal version up to 50°C ambient temperature and special HT version up to 70°C
- Motor phase short-circuit and temperature monitoring
- Detailed operating instructions with all necessary technical details
- Adjustable ramp-up time
- Dimensions 130 x 150 x 52 mm
The Step3S board is available in two versions:
- Step3S for ambient temperature up to 50°C
- Step3S HT for ambient temperature up to 70°C
A 25-pin cable for direct connection to the controller is included in the delivery.

Our Recommendation
Step1S stepper motor driver add-on for 4th axis
€79.00*
The Step1S stepper motor driver card is a low-cost 2-phase driver output stage for a single stepper motor axis with up to 3A. It is equally suitable for retrofitting existing 3-axis stepper motor cards with a 4th axis as well as for the realisation of completely new systems.The Step3S and Step3S HT stepper motor card can be extended by a 4th axis by plugging in the Step1S extension card without any wiring effort. The necessary mounting material is included in the scope of delivery. The step resolution and current settings for the 4th axis are made on the Step3S card. The Step1S card can also be used for a double motor of the X- or Y-axis. For this purpose, the corresponding signal adapter-2X or signal adapter-2Y can be ordered directly.
Schrittmotoranschlusskabel für StepMAX oder CNCMAX
€5.00*
Motorkabel benötigen bestimmte Anforderungen um einen sicheren und sauberen Betrieb zu gewährleisten. Zum Anschluss Ihrer Schrittmotoren an eine StepMAX oder CNCMAX Steuerung empfehlen wir daher unsere Motorkabel. Da das Motorkabel am Stück und als laufender Meter geliefert wird und nicht vorkonfektioniert ist, können diese Motorkabeln auch für andere Steuerungen oder Anwendungen verwendet werden.Für längere Motorkabel bestellen Sie bitte die entsprechende Anzahl. Je Meter Motorkabel liefern wir einen SubD-Stecker und das passende Gehäuse zum Löten der Motorkabel mit. Somit können die Motorkabel an der Steuerung fest verschraubt werden und an der anderen Seite mit den Anschlusskabeln des Schrittmotors verbunden werden.
