Intelligent Motion Systems MDM17Plus Manual Do Utilizador

The MDrive17Plus 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 MDrive17Plus eliminate the need 

to run motor cabling through the machine, 

reducing the potential for problems due to 

electrical noise.

The unsurpassed smoothness and per-

formance delivered by the MDrive17Plus 

Microstepping are achieved through IMS's 

advanced 2nd generation current con-

trol. 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 MDrive17Plus accepts a broad input 

voltage range from +12 to +48 VDC, deliv-

ering enhanced performance and speed. 

Oversized input capacitors are used to 

minimize power line surges, reducing 

problems that can occur with long runs 

and multiple drive systems. An extended 

operating range of –40° to +85°C provides 

long life, trouble free service in demanding 

environments.

The MDrive17Plus uses a NEMA 17 frame 

size high torque brushless step motor 

integrated with a microstepping driver, 

and accepts up to 20 resolution settings 

from full to 256 microsteps per full step, 

including: 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. Param-

eters are changed via an SPI port.

For use in environments where exposure 

to chemical, dust and liquids may occur,
