switches or resistors. Parameters are
changed via an SPI port.
The Microstepping MForce PowerDrive
is a high performance, low cost micro-
stepping driver that delivers unsurpassed
smoothness and performance achieved
through IMS’s advanced 2nd generation
current control. By applying innova-
tive techniques to control current flow
through the motor, resonance is signifi-
cantly dampened over the entire speed
range and audible noise is reduced.
• High Performance
Microstepping Driver
• Advanced 2nd Generation Current
Control for Exceptional Performance
and Smoothness
The versatile Microstepping MForce
PowerDrive comes with dual mounting
configurations to fit various system needs.
All interface connections are accomplished
using pluggable locking wire crimp connec-
tors. Optional cables are available for ease
of connecting and configuring the MForce,
and are recommended with first order.
• Single Supply: +12 to +75 VDC
• Low Cost
• Compact Package
• High Output Current up to 5 Amps RMS,
7 Amps Peak (Per Phase)
Microstepping MForce PowerDrives ac-
cept a broad input voltage range from
+12 to +75 VDC, delivering 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 Microstepping MForce PowerDrive
is a compact, powerful and inexpensive
solution that will reduce system cost,
design and assembly time for a large
range of applications.
• 20 Microstep Resolutions up to
51,200 Steps Per Rev Including:
Degrees, Metric, Arc Minutes
• Optically Isolated Logic Inputs will
Accept +5 to +24 VDC Signals,
Sourcing or Sinking
CONFIGURING
• Automatic Current Reduction
• Configurable:
The IMS SPI Motor Interface software is
an easy to install and use GUI for con-
fi g uring Microstepping MForce from a
computer's USB port. GUI access is via
the IMS SPI Motor Interface included on
the CD shipped with the product, or from
- Motor Run/Hold Current
- Motor Direction vs. Direction Input
- Microstep Resolution
- Clock Type: Step and Direction,
Quadrature, Step Up and Step Down
- Programmable Digital Filtering for
Clock and Direction Inputs
The high, per phase output current of up
to 5 Amps RMS, 7 Amps Peak, allows
the extremely compact MForce Power-
Drive to control a broad array of motors
from size 23 to size 42.
• Setup Parameters May Be Switched
On-The-Fly
The IMS SPI Motor Interface features:
• Easy installation.
The microstepping drive accepts up to 20
resolution settings from full to 256 mic-
rosteps per full step, including: degrees,
metric and arc minutes. These settings
may be changed on-the-fly or downloaded
and stored in nonvolatile memory with the
use of a simple GUI which is provided.
This eliminates the need for external
•
Automatic detection of MForce version
and communication configuration.
• Dual Mounting Configurations
• Interface via Pluggable Locking Wire
Crimp Connectors
• Will not set out-of-range values.
• Tool-tips display valid range
setting for each option.
• Graphical User Interface (GUI) for
Quick and Easy Parameter Setup
• Simple screen interfaces.
