Product Spotlights
Rossonix Co., Limited is proud to offer the Allen Bradley 1746HSTP1 (also known as 746-HSTP1) SLC500 System Stepper Controller Module. As a trusted supplier since 2011 with an annual export value of US$5-10 million and ISO9001/ISO9000 certified operations, we ensure that every module we deliver meets the highest standards of reliability and performance. This stepper controller module is designed to provide precise, efficient motion control for your SLC500-based automation systems, offering seamless integration and robust functionality for a wide range of industrial applications.
The 1746HSTP1 module is a dedicated stepper motor controller that interfaces directly with the Allen Bradley SLC500 programmable logic controller (PLC) via the backplane. It manages up to two stepper motor axes independently, supporting microstepping for smooth velocity and position control. Whether you are retrofitting old machinery or building new precision motion systems, this module delivers reliable, cost-effective performance.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Number of Axes: Supports up to 2 independent stepper axes
- Microstepping: Full-step, half-step, and optional microstepping for smoother motion
- Position Feedback: Open-loop control, optional encoder feedback support (auxiliary input)
- Communication: Direct connection to SLC500 backplane – no additional wiring or interface cards required
- Programmable Parameters: Acceleration, deceleration, velocity, position, and home position via ladder logic
- Protection: Overcurrent and overtemperature protection, watchdog timer
- LED Indicators: Status LEDs for power, fault, axis activity
- Dimensions: Single-slot module for 1746 chassis (approximately 4.5" x 3.5" x 1.5")

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: Is the 1746HSTP1 compatible with all SLC500 chassis?
A: Yes, it fits into any standard 1746 chassis with a single-slot backplane connection. It works with SLC 5/02, 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05 processors as long as the chassis provides sufficient power. -
Q: Can this module control two stepper motors simultaneously?
A: Yes, it supports two independent axes. Each axis can be configured with separate motion profiles using ladder logic instructions. -
Q: Do I need additional software or cables?
A: No, communication is through the SLC500 backplane. You program it using standard RSLogix 500 (or Studio 5000 Logix Designer with SLC500 emulation). External wiring to stepper drivers is required. -
Q: What is the maximum step rate?
A: The module can generate step pulses up to 50 kHz per axis, depending on your microstep setting. Consult the user manual for exact timing parameters. -
Q: Does it support position feedback?
A: The 1746HSTP1 is primarily an open-loop stepper controller. However, it has auxiliary inputs for encoder feedback that can be used for stall detection or position verification. -
Q: Is this module new or refurbished?
A: We offer both new and refurbished (tested and guaranteed) units. Please specify your preference when ordering. Both options carry a warranty. -
Q: What is the warranty period?
A: Standard warranty is 12 months from the date of shipment. Extended warranty options are available upon request. -
Q: Can you ship to my country?
A: We ship worldwide from our warehouses in Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Europe. Typical transit time is 3–7 business days for express, 7–15 for air freight. Contact us for a shipping quote.
