2 #L010185 June 2007 Introduction The MBC10SI1 is an low cost single axis step motor driver integrated with a programmable simple indexer. The MBC10SI1 microstep driver/pulse generator has an output current capability of 1.5A minimum to 10.0A maximum (peak rating). The MBC10SI1 driver operates with a DC voltage of 20VDC to 80VDC. The MBC10SI1’s i[...]

3 #L010185 June 2007 A) A Profile input is activated; Ramps up to max speed. B) No limit is active; Max speed is reached (keeps running at max speed). C) No limit is active; Internal counter signals to ramp down to base speed. D) Internal Counter is complete; Base speed is reached. Pulses stop. AB C Max Speed Base Speed Off Time Speed AB CD Max Spe[...]

4 #L010185 June 2007 LEDs When powered and operated properly, the status LED will be green. When a communication or program syntax error occurs, the LED will change to RED and an error code will be generated in the error code register. To read and clear the error with the software, click on the “Verify Parameters” button. To read and clear the [...]

8 #L010185 June 2007 Setting the Output Current The output current on the MBC10SI1 is set by the on-board potentiometer R29 (Refer to Dimensions/ Jumper and Potentiometer Locations). This current adjust potentiometer determines the per phase peak output current of the driver. This relationship between the output current and the potentiometer settin[...]

9 #L010185 June 2007 Step Motor Configurations Step motors can be configured as 4, 6, or 8 leads. Each configuration requires different currents. Refer to the lead configurations and the procedures to determine their output current. WARNING! Step motors will run hot even when configured correctly. Damage may occur to the motor if a higher than spec[...]

10 #L010185 June 2007 8 Lead Motors Series Connection: When configuring the motor windings in series, use the per phase (or unipolar) current rating to determine the current setting potentiometer value. Parallel Connection: When configuring the motor windings in parallel, multiply the per phase (or unipolar) current rating by 2.0 to determine the c[...]

11 #L010185 June 2007 Functions Hard Limit Switches: When a hard limit switch is encountered, the pulses will stop. Hard limits are intended as an emergency stop for your system. Soft Limit Switches: These switches cause the indexer to ramp down to the base speed and finish the index, unless encountering a hard limit switch. Profile Inputs: These i[...]

12 #L010185 June 2007 SMPG-SMSI Software The SMPG-SMSI software is a handy utility that supports Anaheim Automation’s programmable pulse generators and simple indexers. Connecting your PC to the MBC10SI1, via a USB cable, the software can easily perform the following tasks: • Exercise and monitor the MBC10SI1 • Directly communicate with the M[...]
