Centent CN0172 Centent Preset Indexer Simple Type: Preset Indexer The Centent CN0172 is a low cost preset indexer. The control provides a step pulse output for a step motor drive. It is intended for applications requiring a fixed number of steps per indexing cycle. Base speed, maximum speed and acceleration are set by trimming potentiometers. The number of steps to be taken is set by DIP switches. The indexing cycle is initiated by a signal from the user. An output from the CN0172 indicates when the cycle has completed. The linearity of trimpot adjustment is excellent throughout the operating range. Four maximum speed ranges and three acceleration ranges facilitate easy adjustment. The CN0172 operates on a +5 VDC power supply and draws a maximum of 100mA.
