DESCRIPTION
The MDrive17Plus Speed Control offers system designers cost effective, program- mable velocity control integrated with a NEMA 17 high torque 1.8° brushless step motor and a +12 to +48 volt microstepping driver.
The MDrive17Plus Speed Control features a digital oscillator for accurate velocity control with an output frequency of up
to 5 Megahertz. Output frequency will vary with the signal applied to the speed control input and can be limited by the amount specified by the Maximum Veloc- ity parameter.
Speed can be adjusted using three modes of operation: voltage, current and PWM. The ranges are 0 to +5 volts and 0 to
+10 volts in voltage mode, 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA in current mode, and 15 to 25 kHz in PWM mode. This allows the MDrive17Plus Speed Control to be driven by a wide variety of sensors and control devices.
configurations to fit various system needs. Rotary motor versions come in three lengths and may include an optical en- coder, control knob, planetary gearbox or linear slide. Long life Acme screw linear actuators** are also available.
Connector style options give you choices for the best fit and features. Select from 12.0" (30.5cm) flying leads or pluggable terminal strip.
MDrivePlus connectivity has never been easier with options ranging from
The MDrive17Plus is a compact, powerful and cost effective motion control solution that will reduce system cost, design and assembly time for a large range
of brushless step motor applications.

There are two basic methods for control- ling the velocity: bidirectional and unidi- rectional. By moving the center point, both speed and direction are controlled by a potentiometer or joystick. By setting the center point to zero or the lower end of the potentiometer, only velocity is controlled by the speed control input; direction is controlled by a separate digital input.
The MDrive17Plus Speed Control has 18 setup parameters, which may be con- figured using the supplied IMS Analog Speed Control GUI, or a

The IMS Analog Speed Control is a soft- ware GUI for quick and easy parameter setup of the MDrivePlus Speed Control from a computer's USB port. GUI ac- cess is via the IMS SPI Motor Interface available at www.imshome.com. The IMS interface is also used to upgrade MDrive- Plus Speed Control firmware.
IMS Analog Speed Control features:
•Easy installation.
•Automatic detection of MDrivePlus ver- sion and communication configuration.
•Will not set
