Important information The drive systems described here are products for general use that conform to the state of the art in technology and are designed to prevent any dangers. However, drives and drive controllers that are not specifically designed for safety functions are not approved for applications where the functioning of the drive could endan- ger persons. The possibility of unexpected or un-braked movements can never be totally excluded without additional safety equipment. For this re

WARNING! The MForce has components Getting Started which are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge Microstepping MForce PowerDrive (ESD). All handling should be done at an ESD protected workstation. Before You Begin WARNING! Hazardous voltage levels may be The Getting Started Section is designed to help quickly connect and begin using your Microstepping MForce present if using an open PowerDrive. The following examples will help you get a motor turning for the first time and introduc

Connect Opto Reference and Logic Inputs Using 22 AWG wire, connect the Opto Reference to the desired reference point. The reference will determine whether or not the logic input is sinking or sourcing. If Sinking Inputs are desired, connect the Opto reference to a +5 to +24 VDC Supply. If Sourcing Outputs are desired, the Opto Reference needs to be connected to the Controller Ground. Connect the Step and Direction inputs to the appropriate outputs of your PLC or controller. Connecting the Mot

SECTION 1.1 Introduction to the Microstepping MForce PowerDrive The Microstepping MForce Pow- erDrive is a high performance, low cost microstepping driver that delivers unsurpassed smoothness and perfor- mance achieved through IMS’s advanced 2nd generation current control. By applying innovative techniques to con- trol current flow through the motor, resonance is significantly dampened over the entire speed range and audible noise is reduced. Microstepping MForce PowerDrives accept a
