Screen 2: I/O Settings Configuration Screen

The I/O Settings screen may be accessed by clicking View > IO Settings on the menu bar. This screen is used to configure the Input Clock type, the filtering and the Active High/Low State of the Enable Input.

Input Clock Type

The Input Clock Type translates the specified pulse source that the motor will use as a reference for establishing stepping resolution based on the frequency.

The three clock types supported are:

1.Step/Direction

2.Quadrature

3.Up/Down (CW/CCW)

The Clock types are covered in detail in Section 2.2: Logic Interface and Connection.

Input Clock Filter

The clock inputs may also be filtered using the Clock IOF pull down of the IMS SPI Motor Interface. The filter range is from 50 nS (10 MHz) to 12.9 µSec. (38.8 kHz). Table 2.4.3 shows the filter settings.

Enable Active High/Low

The parameter sets the Enable Input to be Active when High (Default, Disconnected) or Active when Low.

Warning Temperature

The Warning Temperature parameter allows you to set a pending over-temperature threshold for the MDriveAC Plus Microstepping. When that threshold is reached, a "TW" error code will appear in the Fault field. The Fault output will also begin to activate/deactivate at 1 second intervals (1/2 second on, 1/2 second off).
