AMPS - POWER - Questions
I seem to recall reading somewhere that G540 can only handle about 7amps total.
If that is the case, is there any point in using a power supply capable of more than that?
(Unless you are also running other things off that power supply of course.)
There are outfits routinely packaging the G540 with higher torque motors than one would expect. 495, 620 oz/in etc. Never mind that a stepper motor is incapable of high torque and high speed at the same time. I am quite aware that the torque drops off very dramaticly after its peak at a pretty low RPM.
Is the G540 capable of driving those motors at the peak they are claimed to be rated for?
Can it drive more than one at the same time with that much torque?
