MICROSTEPPING

Patent Pending

a sealed MDrive42AC Plus Microstepping 
unit with circular connectors meets IP65 
specifi cations.**

The versatile MDrive42AC Plus Micro-
stepping is available in multiple con fi g u-
 ra tions to fi t various system needs. Two 
rotary motor lengths are available and 
may include an internal optical encoder, a 
control knob for manual positioning or an 
integrated planetary gearbox. 

In ter face con nec tions are ac com plished 
using standard industrial circular connec-
tors. And connectivity has never been 
easier with options ranging from 

 to 

. 

The MDrive42AC Plus is a compact, pow-
erful and cost effective solution that will 
reduce system cost, design and assembly 
time for a large range of brushless step 
motor applications.

The IMS Motor Interface software is an 
easy to in stall and use GUI for con fi g ur ing 
the MDrive42AC Plus from a computer's 
USB port. GUI access is via the IMS SPI 
Motor Interface available at 
www.imshome.com. 

The IMS SPI 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.
•  Simple screen interfaces.

The MDrive42AC Plus Microstepping 
high torque integrated motor and step and 
direction driver is ideal for designers who 
want the simplicity of a motor with on-
board electronics. The integrated electron-
ics of the MDrive42AC Plus eliminate the 
need to run motor cabling through the ma-
chine, reducing the potential for problems 
due to electrical noise.

The unsurpassed smoothness and per-
formance delivered by the MDrive42AC 
Plus Microstepping are achieved through 
IMS's advanced 2nd generation current 
control. By applying innovative techniques 
to control current fl ow through the motor, 
resonance is signifi cantly dampened over 
the entire speed range and audible noise 
is reduced.

The MDrive42AC Plus accepts a broad 
input voltage range from 95 to 264 VAC, 
delivering enhanced performance and 
speed. Oversized input capacitors are 
used to minimize power line surges, re-
ducing problems that can occur with long 
runs and multiple drive systems. An ex-
tended operating range of –40° to +75°C 
provides long life, trouble free service in 
demanding environments.

The MDrive42AC Plus uses a NEMA 42 
frame size high torque brushless step mo-
tor combined with a microstepping driver, 
and accepts up to 20 resolution settings 
from full to 256 microsteps per full step, in-
cluding: degrees, metric and arc minutes. 
These settings may be changed on-the-fl y 
or downloaded and stored in nonvolatile 
memory with the use of a simple GUI 
which is provided. This eliminates the 
need for external switches or resistors. 
Parameters are changed via an SPI port.
