Chapter 1 - Impulse Overview

1-1

The Impulse is the latest microstepping drive from Industrial Devices Corporation and this 
innovative drive will move your applications with a combination of features previously unheard of 
in the motion control industry.

The Impulse is a self-contained microstepping drive designed to operate permanent-magnet linear 
and rotary hybrid step-motors. Its internal control hardware is based on a digital signal processor 
(DSP) operating a pair of IGBT power amplifiers. The Impulse is fully protected against short-
circuits and overheating.

Responding to users who demand the ultimate in value and reliability, the Impulse employs the 
following features and performance enhancements:

This manual will enable you to 1) quickly setup and verify that your Impulse is operational, 2) 
configure and program the Impulse for your specific application, and 3) successfully troubleshoot 
possible performance problems.

Allows a motor to run without an encoder and still be able to detect a stall

Move profiles are smoothed to minimize jerk

For full-stepping with the smoothness of microstepping

7 simple moves can be stored in the Impulse and activated via inputs or 
serial port. This feature is optional.

6 component “gain” settings for low-speed smoothness, reduced vibration, 
and more usable torque

Automatic fine-tuning of the Impulse for optimum performance with the con-
figured motor

4 configurable inputs and one configurable output provide the user with 
flexibility

I/O polarity can be set to Active High or Active Low ensuring compatibility 
with a wide range of controls

Green for power ON/ENABLED, flashing green for DISABLED, red for ON/
UNCONFIGURED, flashing red for FAULTS

Top-notch performance, while consuming a minimal amount of space

Up to 100,000 steps/rev

Downloadable software facilitates quick upgrades over the internet

Enable Stop (current reduced to 75% of drive setting if no motion occurs 
during a user-programmed amount of time)
Enable Idle (user-defined current reduction percentage if no motion occurs 
during a user-programmed amount of time)

Provides optimum torque and nulls mid-range instability

For maximum performance and multiple drive mounting capability

Dumps excessive power during deceleration
