Required for Setup*
PC running Microsoft•
®
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or greater.
IMS SPI Motor Interface (available online)•
+12 to +48 VDC unregulated linear or switching power supply. (Recom-•
mended: IMS IP404 or ISP200-4)
10 kΩ Potentiometer for velocity control (or appropriate current source if •
using current mode)
Two (2) SPST switches or controller I/O points to control axis direction •
and the on/off state of the internal clock generator.
SPI communications interface (Recommended: IMS MD-CC300-001 or •
MD-CC302-001 Communication Converters)
Depending on your MDrivePlus connectors configuration, you may also need:
If using a 7-pin pluggable terminal IMS recommends 22 AWG shielded •
twisted pairs for logic wiring. Wire guage for for power connection varies
with the distance from the MDrive and current. See MDrivePlus product
manual.
* If you purchased your MDrivePlus with a QuickStart Kit, you have received all
of the connecting cables needed for initial functional setup and system testing.
Getting Started
All documentation, software and resources are available online at:
http://www.imshome.com/mdrive17plus_mdo.html
Connecting Power and I/O
Your MDrivePlus is configured with power and I/O combined on a single con-
nector. Please refer to the opposite side of this document for connecting details
and available IMS connectivity options including Prototype Development Cables
and Mating Connector Kits.
Connecting Communications
Connect IMS USB to SPI communications converter to MDrivePlus and 1.
PC.
Install the communication converter drivers onto PC (available online).2.
Install and open SPI Motor lnterface.3.
Apply power to MDrivePlus.4.
Parameters may be adjusted via two screens, the Motor Settings screen 5.
or the I/O settings screen (shown below), accesible via the View menu.
