Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
If the AMCI SD17060B-25 is unavailable or you require a cost-effective alternative, the following models offer compatible specifications and can serve as direct or near-direct replacements:
- AMCI SD17060E — Same SD series, EtherNet/IP variant; identical mechanical and electrical footprint
- AMCI SD17060D — DeviceNet interface variant; same current and voltage ratings
- Leadshine DM860H — 2-phase driver, 20–80 VDC, up to 7.2 A; widely used as a functional equivalent
- Gecko Drive G213V — 18–80 VDC, 7 A peak; compatible with NEMA 34 motors, similar step resolution
- Applied Motion STR8 — RS-485 networked stepper drive; comparable current and voltage range
- Parker Compumotor ZETA6104 — Legacy equivalent for older Parker-based systems
Note: Always verify wiring pinout, communication protocol, and step/direction signal levels before substituting drivers in a live system.
Why Choose the Original AMCI SD17060B-25
- Native PLC Integration — Designed to work seamlessly with Allen-Bradley PLCs via Add-On Instructions (AOI) and EDS files, reducing commissioning time significantly.

System Compatibility
The SD17060B-25 is compatible with the following PLC and motion control platforms:
- Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation — ControlLogix, CompactLogix, MicroLogix (via RS-422/485)
- Siemens S7 Series — S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500 (with appropriate serial module)
- Mitsubishi MELSEC — Q Series, iQ-R Series
- Omron NJ/NX Series — Via EtherNet/IP or serial interface
- Beckhoff TwinCAT — EtherCAT-based systems with serial gateway
- Generic Step/Direction Controllers — Compatible with any controller outputting standard step/direction signals
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the SD17060B-25 is the right drive for your application, or to identify the best alternative:
- Motor Phase Current: Confirm your stepper motor’s rated current does not exceed 6.0 A peak. For motors above this threshold, consider the AMCI SD17060E or Leadshine DM860H.
- Supply Voltage: Ensure your DC bus voltage falls within 24–75 VDC. Higher-voltage systems may require a different drive family.
- Communication Protocol: The -25 suffix denotes RS-422/RS-485 serial. If your system requires EtherNet/IP, select the SD17060E variant instead.
- Step Resolution: For applications requiring sub-microstep smoothness, the 25,000 steps/rev capability of this drive is a key differentiator versus lower-resolution alternatives.
- Enclosure & Mounting: DIN-rail mount is standard. Verify panel depth and clearance requirements before installation.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace the SD17060B-25 with a Leadshine DM860H directly?
A: Functionally yes for step/direction applications, but the communication protocol and wiring differ. Reconfiguration of the controller output and motor wiring is required.
Q: What does the “-25” suffix mean in SD17060B-25?
A: The “-25” designates the RS-422/RS-485 serial communication interface variant within the SD17060B product family.
Q: Is the SD17060B-25 compatible with NEMA 34 stepper motors?
A: Yes, provided the motor’s rated phase current is within the 6.0 A peak output rating of the drive.
Q: Does Konmask.com provide technical support for integration?
A: Yes. Our engineering team can assist with wiring diagrams, PLC configuration files, and commissioning guidance. Contact us at support@konmask.com.
