August 2012 L010184 General Description The MBC10P31 is a low-cost single axis step motor driver integrated with a programmable pulse genera- tor. The MBC10P31 microstep driver/pulse generator has an output current capability of 1.5A minimum to 10.0A maximum (peak rating). The MBC10P31 driver operates with a DC voltage of 20VDC to 80VDC. The MBC10P31’s internal controller can store two different programmable motion profi les. The MBC10P31 also has directional soft and hard limit switch inputs, a...

August 2012 L010184 Operation with Ramp Down Option A. Run is activated; Starts at base speed and immediately ramps up to max speed. B. Run is still active; Max speed is reached (keeps running at max speed). C. Run is inactivated; Motor ramps down. D. Pulses automatically stop when base speed is reached. Operation without Ramp Down Option A. Run is activated; Starts at base speed and immediately ramps up to max speed. B. Run is still active; Max speed is reached (keeps running at max speed). C....

August 2012 L010184 LEDs When powered and operated properly, the status LED will be green. When an 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 error while in “Direct Mode” use the “!” command. Once the error has been read and cleared, the LED will re- turn to green and the error code register will be cleared. Refer to the table...

August 2012 L010184 Setting the Output Current The output current on the MBC10P31 is set by the on-board potentiometer. This current adjust potentiometer determines the per phase peak output current of the driver. This relationship be- tween the output current and the potentiometer setting is as follows: Potentiometer Settings Reducing Output Current Reducing the output current is accomplished automatically depending on the current reduction setting in the SMPG-SMSI software. The amount of current...

August 2012 L010184 Determine Output Current The output current used for motor when microstepping is determined differently from that of a full/half step unipolar driver. In the MBC10P31, a sine/cosine output function is used in rotating the motor. The output current for a given motor is determined by the motors current rating and the wiring confi guration of the motor. There is a current adjustment potentiometer used to set the output current of the MBC10P31. This sets the peak output current of...

August 2012 L010184 8 Lead Motors Series Connection: When confi guring the motor windings in series, use the per phase (or uni- polar) current rating to determine the current setting potentiometer value. Parallel Connection: When confi guring the motor windings in parallel, multiply the per phase (or unipolar) 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 the potentiometer setting...
