GETTING STARTED

Microstepping MForce PowerDrive

Before You Begin

The Getting Started Section is designed to help quickly connect and begin using your Microstepping MForce PowerDrive. The following examples will help you get a motor turning for the first time and introduce you to the basic settings of the drive.

Tools and Equipment Required

Microstepping MForce PowerDrive Unit (MFM)

A NEMA 23 or 34 Size Stepping Motor

Control Device for Step/Direction

+5 to +24 VDC Optocoupler Supply (if using sinking output type)

An Unregulated +12 to +48VDC Power Supply

Basic Tools: Wire Cutters / Strippers / Screwdriver

Wire for Power Supply (18 AWG) and Motor (16 AWG)

22 AWG Wire for Logic Connections

WARNING! The MForce 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 MForce product.

WARNING! Ensure that the power supply output voltage does not exceed the maximum input

voltage of the MForce product that you are using!

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 the MForce PowerDrive.
