April 2001 Motor Selection The MBC04161 is a Bipolar Microstep Driver that is compatible with both Bipolar and Unipolar Motor Configurations, (i.e. 8 and 4 lead motors, and 6 lead center tapped motors). Step motors with low current ratings and high inductance will perform better at low speeds, providing higher low-end torque. Motors with high current ratings and low inductance will perform better at higher speeds, providing more high-end torque. Since the MBC04161 is a constant current source, it is not...

April 2001 Setting the Output Current The output current on the MBC04161 is set by an onboard potentiometer. This potentiometer determines the per phase peak output current of the driver. The relationship between the output current and the potentiometer value is as follows: Reducing Output Current Reducing the output current is accomplished by setting switch 1 of the DIP switch to the ON position and occurs approximately 20mSec after the last positive going edge of the step clock input. The amount of...

User’s Guide # MBC04161 4 Lead Motors Multiply the specified series motor current by 1.4 to determine the current adjustment potentiometer value. Four Lead Motors are usually rated with their appropriate series current, as opposed to the Phase Current , which is the rating for 6 and 8 lead motors. 6 Lead Motors When configuring a 6 lead motor in a half-coil configuration (connected from one end of the coil to the center tap), multiply the specified per Phase (or unipolar) current rating by 1.4 to...

April 2001 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 unipo- lar) current rating by 2.0 to determine the current setting potentiometer value. NOTE: After the current has been determined, according to the motor connections above, use Table 8 to choose the proper setting for...
