Description
Applied Motion Products PD5580 Step Motor Driver 110VAC Microstepping Bipolar
The Applied Motion Products PD5580 is a microstepping step motor driver designed for bipolar two-phase stepper motors. It accepts 110 VAC line power directly and provides DIP-switch-selectable output current and microstep resolution, making it a flexible, self-contained drive solution for motion control applications. The unit features differential step/direction inputs for noise-immune signal interfacing and a differential fault output for system-level error handling.

Applications
The PD5580 is a line-powered microstepping driver intended for use in industrial automation and motion control systems where a stepper motor must be precisely positioned. Applied Motion Products stepper drivers like the PD5580 are commonly used in CNC machines, indexing tables, pick-and-place equipment, packaging machinery, laboratory automation systems, and similar electromechanical positioning applications. The direct AC input design eliminates the need for a separate DC bus power supply, simplifying panel wiring. Microstepping divides each full motor step into smaller increments, reducing vibration and improving positioning smoothness compared to full-step or half-step operation — an important characteristic in precision automation. Applied Motion Products, based in Watsonville, California, has specialized in step motor drives and controls since the early 1990s; the PD5580 is representative of their panel-mount, line-powered drive series from that era.
This Applied Motion Products PD5580 Step Motor Driver was pulled from a working operational environment where it was previously in use. It has been visually inspected and photographed. The unit appears to be in good used condition overall. The enclosure shows minor scuffs and surface wear typical of used industrial equipment. The green terminal blocks, DIP switches, and LED indicators all appear intact and undamaged. It has not been powered up or tested at our facility. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
