GETTING STARTED

MDrive34Plus Microstepping

Before You Begin

The Quick Start guide is designed to help quickly connect and begin using your MDrive34Plus Microstepping integrated motor and driver. The following examples will help you get the motor turning for the first time and introduce you to the basic settings of the drive.

Tools and Equipment Required

MDrive34Plus Microstepping Unit (MDM34).

Parameter setup cable MD-CC300-000 (USB to SPI) or equivalent and adapter MD-ADP-1723C for pluggable interface.

Product CD or Internet access to www.imshome.com.

Control Device for Step/Direction.

+5 to +24 VDC optocoupler supply.

An Unregulated +12 to +75 VDC Power Supply.

Basic Tools: Wire Cutters / Strippers / Screwdriver.

18 AWG Wire for Power Supply, 22-28 AWG Wire for Logic Connections (Not Required for Flying Leads version).

A PC with Windows XP SP2.

WARNING! The MDrive has components which are sensitive to

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). All handling should be done at an ESD protected workstation.

WARNING! Hazardous voltage levels may be present if using an

open frame power supply to power your MDrive product.

WARNING! Ensure that the power supply output voltage does not

exceed the maximum input voltage of the MDrive34Plus (+75 VDC).

Connecting the Power Supply

Using the 18 AWG wire, connect the DC output of the power supply to the +V input of the MDrive34Plus

Connect the power supply ground to Power Ground (P3:2 - Wire Crimp, Black Flying Lead).

See Figure GS.1.

Connect Opto Power and Logic Inputs

Using the recommended wire, connect the following to your controller or PLC:

Note: A characteristic of all motors is back EMF. Back EMF is

a source of current that can push the output of a power supply beyond the maximum operating voltage of the driver. As a result, damage to the stepper driver could occur over a period of time. Care should be taken so that the back EMF does not exceed the maximum input voltage rating of +75 VDC.
