Hey Zone,

I am looking for some direction selecting a software programmable drive (or drive/motor combo) that can operate standalone without software or plc control. The application is to turn a gear box output shaft 90 degrees. Then reverse the gear box 90 degrees. Very simple motion/step calculation. I would prefer a drive that can home without switches when enabled by slowly moving until it hits a hard stop, that would be home at power on. It needs an input (analog or digital) that can tell the drive when to start the exact opposite motion. That's all this needs to do, power on, home, and a CW, CCW motion x number of steps over and over again. No other functionality needed. A relay output would be a bonus.

There is so much online for such a simple operation it makes my head spin. This is for an industrial application and will cycle around 1m times per year.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Cheers!
