This is a STEGMANN SMS Programmable Indexer/Drive Controller (likely a stepper or servo drive). The “SMS” line is known for being a compact, programmable drive system that integrates the controller and drive electronics into a single unit. It’s designed to precisely control the movement of a motor.

Decoding the Part Number & Label

The information you provided can be broken down as follows:

1. STEGMANN SMS

• Brand: STEGMANN (a well-known German manufacturer of encoders and drive systems, now part of Turck).

• Product Line: SMS (a series of programmable servo/stepper drives).

2. 04620 131 93721

• This is the complete article number or ordering code.

• 04620 is likely the base model number for the drive series.

• 131 and 93721 are specific suffixes that define the exact configuration, including voltage, current, firmware, and connector options.

3. PROGRAM DRIVE SMS04620.131

• This confirms the device’s function: a Programmable Drive.

• SMS04620.131 is the core product identifier used for ordering and documentation.

4. 220V-50HZ 15A

• This is the electrical specification.

• Input Voltage: 220V AC

• Frequency: 50 Hz

• Maximum Current: 15 Amps (This is the current the drive can supply to the motor).

5. SEO

• This is an internal code or abbreviation. It could stand for something like “Standard Edition Option” or a specific factory code. It’s not a standard public-facing technical term.

Key Features (Inferred from the Model)

• All-in-One Unit: Combines the motion controller and power amplifier, saving space and wiring.

• Programmability: Can store and execute motion sequences (e.g., point-to-point moves, velocity profiles). Programming is typically done via proprietary software.

• High Power: The 15A rating indicates it is for driving medium-to-large motors.

• Industrial Use: Designed for automation applications like packaging, material handling, assembly, and robotics.

What is this used for?

This drive would be used in an automated machine to control a motor with high precision. For example:

• Controlling the position of a conveyor belt.

• Rotating a table to a specific angle.

• Driving a linear actuator to push or place a product.

• Controlling the movement of a robotic arm joint.
