DESCRIPTION
The MDrive NEMA 34 high torque 
Integrated Motor and Driver is ide al 
for designers who want the sim plic i ty 
of a motor with on-board elec tron ics, 
but without the expense of an in-
dexer on each axis. The low cost 
MDrive34 puts the system de sign er 
in the driver’s seat to de cide the best 
method of control. The MDrive34’s 
integrated elec 
tron ics eliminate 
the need to run the mo tor cabling 
through the ma chine, re duc ing the 
potential for prob lems due to elec-
 tri cal noise.
The MDrive34 uses a NEMA 34 
frame size 1.8° high torque mo-
tor com 
bined with a microstep-
ping driver, and accepts up to 14 
res o lu tion set tings from ½ to 256 
microsteps per full step. Setup pa-
 ram e ters in clude Microstep Resolu-
tion, Motor Run/Hold Current, and 
Motor Di rec tion with respect to the 
di rec tion in put. These set tings may 
be changed on-the-fl y or down load ed 
and stored in nonvol 
a tile mem 
o ry 
with the use of a sim ple GUI which 
is provided. This elim i nates the need 
for external switch es or re sis tors. 
Pa ram e ters are changed via an SPI 
port. MDrive34 op 
er at ing volt 
age 
ranges from +24 to +75 VDC.
The MDrive34 is available in multiple 
con fi g u ra tions to fi t various system 
needs including a single shaft rotary 
motor with optional internal optical 
encoder, a dual shaft rotary motor 
with control knob, a planetary gear-
box, or a long life Acme screw linear 
actuator. The rotary MDrive34 is 
available in single, double and triple 
stack sizes: 24, 31 & 47. In ter face

Patent Pending
The IMS Motor Interface GUI sim pli fi es MDrive 
confi guring with a single screen in ter face.
con nec tions are ac com plished us ing 
12.0" (30.5cm) fl ying leads. 
The MDrive34 is a compact, pow-
 er ful and inexpensive solution that 
will reduce system cost, design and 
as sem bly time for a large range of 
step ping motor applications.
CONFIGURING
The IMS Motor Interface software 
is an easy to in 
stall and use GUI 
for con fi g ur ing the MDrive34 from 
a computer parallel/SPI port. GUI 
access is via the IMS SPI Inter-
face included on the CD shipped 
with the product, or download at 
www.imshome.com. An optional 
cable is avail able for ease of con-
 nect ing and con fi g ur ing the MDrive.  
.
The IMS Motor Interface features:
•  Easy installation.
• Automatic detection of MDrive 
version and communication 
confi guration.
• Will not set out-of-range values.
• Tool-tips display valid range 
setting for each option.
• Single screen interface (below).
