LEDs When powered and operated properly, the status LED will be green. When a communication or program syntax error occurs, the LED will change to RED and an error code will be generated in the error code register. To read and clear the error with the software, click on the Verify Parameters button. To read and clear the error while in Direct Mode use the ! command. Once the error has been read and cleared, the LED will return to green and the error code register will be cleared. Refer t

Setting the Output Current The output current on the MBC10SI1 is set by the on-board potentiometer R29 (Refer to Dimensions/ Jumper and Potentiometer Locations). This current adjust potentiometer determines the per phase peak output current of the driver. This relationship between the output current and the potentiometer setting is as follows: Potentiometer Settings Peak Current Potentiometer Setting 1% .5A 0 2% .4A 10 3% .0A 20 4% .0A 30 5% .2A 40 6% .4A 50 7% .7A 60 8% .7A 70 9% .8A 80 1% 0.0A

Determining Output Current The output current used for the motor when microstepping is determined differently from that of a full/half step unipolar driver. In the MBC10SI1, a sine/cosine output function is used in rotating the motor. The output current for a given motor is determined by the motors current rating and the wiring configuration of the motor. There is a current adjustment potentiometer used to set the output current of the MBC10SI1 This sets the peak output current of the sine/cosin

8 Lead Motors Series Connection: When configuring the motor windings in series, use the per phase (or unipolar) current rating to determine the current setting potentiometer value. Parallel Connection: When configuring the motor windings in parallel, multiply the per phase (or unipolar) current rating by 2.0 to determine the current setting potentiometer value. Note: After the current has been determined, according to the motor connections above, use the potenti- ometer setting table to choose

Functions Hard Limit Switches: When a hard limit switch is encountered, the pulses will stop. Hard limits are intended as an emergency stop for your system. Soft Limit Switches: These switches cause the indexer to ramp down to the base speed and finish the index, unless encountering a hard limit switch. Profile Inputs: These inputs are used to select and begin the specified motion profile. Only 1 input should be activated at a time. Motion Profiles: The indexer will accept two different speed or

Description: This command requests the indexer to get the current error code and print it to the screen. +/- - Direction Format: + or - Description: This command sets the direction output. A + sets the output to clockwise, and a - set the output to counterclockwise. This must be done when the indexer is not busy. This value is saved in the EE

Troubleshooting Problem: Can not establish communications with the indexer. Possible Solutions: 1) Make sure the indexer has power. Is the Green LED on. 2) Check USB connections. 3) Check for loose cable connection either on the indexer or COM Port. 4) Was the software and drivers installed successfully? 5) Go to Setup | Communication Settings and verify COM port settings. 6) Click on Connect icon to communicate with the indexer. 9) If problems still exist, contact Anaheim Automation Tech Suppor
