    General Description
    The MBC12101 Microstep Motor Driver has an output current capability of 1.5 Amps minimum to 10.0 
    Amps maximum (Peaking Rating).  The MBC12101 driver operates from a DC voltage of 20-80 Volts.  The 
    inputs are optically isolated with a minimum sourcing of 1.0 mA per input (+3.5VDC minimum to +8.6VDC 
    maximum).  The clock input is set to receive either positive or negative edge clocks with a maximum fre-
    quency of 100KHz.  The MBC12101 driver offers direction control, motor current ON/OFF capabilities, and 
    built in short circuit and mis-wire shutdown.  The Reduce Current Enabled automatically reduces motor 
    current to 50% of set value after the last step is made.  The driver has built-in features to indicate power 
    on (Green LED) and Clocks being received (Yellow LED).  The MBC12101 has a fi xed step resolution of 
    2000 steps per revolution with a 200 step/revolution stepper motor and the bipolar drive confi gurations 
    handles 4, 6, and 8 lead motors. 
    Optically Isolated Input Pin Descriptions
    The inputs of the MBC12101 are optically isolated with the anode (+) and cathode (-) both brought out 
    to the user.  With no current going through the opto-diode the input is considered high.  To enable the 
    input a minimum of 1.0 mA needs to be sourced or sinked through the opto-diode.  This is done simply 
    by placing a voltage of +3.5 to +8.6VDC across the two inputs of the opto-diode.  If sourcing current 
    into the inputs, then all three cathodes (-) should be tied together and grounded as shown in Figure 3.  
    If sinking current, then all three anodes (+) should be tied together to the +voltage as shown in Figure 
    4.
    To enable an input, apply a DC voltage source of +5VDC to 8.6VDC across the inputs.  The Anodes (+) 
    are pins 7, 9, and 11 and the Cathodes (-) are pins 8, 10, and 12.
    Connecting the Step Motor
    Phase 1 and 3 of the Step Motor is connected between pins 3 and 4 on the terminal block connector.  
    Phase 2 and 4 of the Step Motor is connected between pins 5 and 6 on the terminal block connector.  
    Refer to Figures 3 & 4 for Typical Application Hook-Up.
    NOTE: The physical direction of the motor with respect to the direction input will depend on the con-
    nection of the motor windings.  To reverse the direction of the motor with respect to the direction input, 
    swap the wires on Phase 1 and Phase 3.
    WARNING: Do not connect or disconnect motor wires while power is applied! This driver does 
    not protect itself if the motor is disconnect while powered.

    Power Supply Requirements
    It is recommended that the MBC12101 be powered by the PSA80V4A or the PSAM48V3.2A.  The 
    PSA80V4A is a 80 Volt, 4 Amp power supply that will take either 110VAC or 220 VAC inputs and de-
    liver 320 Watts.  The PSAM48V3.2A is a 48 Volt, 3.2 Amp power supply with a universal input to accept 
    input voltages in the range of 95- 265VAC and deliver 150Watts.

    Setting the Output Current
    WARNING: Do not set the current setting above the step motors rated current.  When using a 
    higher current into a motor, the motor will overheat and burnup.  Should this occur, the driver will 
    also be damaged.
    The output current on the MBC12101 is set by and 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:
    Peak Current Potentiometer Setting Peak Current Potentiometer Setting
    1.5A 0% 7.0A 60%
    2.3A 10% 7.9A 70%
    3.1A 20% 8.7A 80%

    5.0A 40% 10A 100%
    6.0A 50% -- --
    Reducing Output Current
    Reducing the output current occurs approximately 1 second after the last positive going edge of the step 
    clock input.  The amount of current per phase in the reduction mode is approximately 50% of the set 
    current.  Reducing the output current is accomplished when no current fl ows through the opto-diode at the 
    CLOCK (+) and CLOCK (-) pins after the last step has occured.  The clock LED should be off at this time.

    Motor Selection
    The MBC12101 is a Bipolar Microstep driver that is compatible with both Bipolar and Unipolar Stepper 
    Motor Confi gurations, (i.e. 8 and 4 lead motors, and 6 lead center tapped motors).
    Stepper 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.  Higher voltages will cause the current to fl ow faster through the 
    motor coils.  This in turn means higher step rates can be achieved.  Care should be taken not to exceed 
    the maximum voltage of the driver.
    Since the MBC12101 is a constant current source, it is not necessary to use a stepper motor that is rated at 
    the same voltage as the supply voltage.  What is important is that the MBC12101 is set to the appropriate 
    current level based on the motor being used.  Refer to the following chart for setting the current potenti-
    ometer based on the current code in the part number of the motor.  Examples of motor part numbers are 
    shown below.  Anaheim Automation offers a comprehensive line of step motors in 08, 11, 14, 15, 17, 23, 
    24, 34 and 42 frame sizes.  Contact the factory to verify motor compatibility with the MBC12101.

    Setting the Output Current
    The output current for the stepper motor being used when microstepping is determined differently from 
    that of a full/half step unipolar driver.  In the MBC12101, 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 MBC12101.  This sets the peak output current of the sine/cosine waves.  The specifi ed motor current 
    (which is the unipolar value) is multiplied by a factor of 1.0, 1.4, or 2.0 depending on the motor confi guration 
    (series, half-coil, or parallel).
    WARNING: Do not set the current setting above the step motors rated current.  When using a 
    higher current into a motor, the motor will overheat and burnup.  Should this occur, the driver will 
    also be damaged.
    Stepper Motor Confi gurations
    Stepper Motors can be wired with 4, 6, or 8 leads.  Each confi guration requires different currents.  Refer 
    to the lead confi gurations and the procedures to determine their output current.
    WARNING: Step motors will run hot even when confi gured correctly.  Damage may occur to the motor if 
    a higher than specifi ed current is used.  Most specifi ed motor currents are maximum values.  Care should 
    be taken to not exceed these ratings.
    6 Lead Motors
    When confi guring a 6 lead motor in a half-coil confi guration (connected from one end of the coil to the 
    center tap), multiply the specifi ed per Phase (or unipolar) current rating by 1.4 to determine the current 
    setting potentiometer value.  This confi guration will provide more torque at higher speeds when compared 
    to the series confi guration.
    When confi guration the motor in a series confi guration (connected from end to end with the center 
    tap fl oating) use the specifi ed per Phase (or unipolar) current rating to determine the current setting 
    potentiometer value. 
    						
    							January 2013 L010353
    4 Lead Motors
    Multiply the specifi ed 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.
    8 Lead Motors
    Series Connection: When confi guring the motor windings in series, use the per Phase (or unipolar) 
    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 Table 3 to 
    choose the proper setting for the current setting potentiometer.
