January 2013 L010133 Step Motor Confi gurations The output current on the MBC15081 is set by the onboard potentiometer. This potentiometer determines the per phase peak output current of the driver. The relationship between the output current and the po- tentiometer value is as follows: 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. MBC15081 Potentiometer Settings Peak CurrentPotentiometer SettingPeak CurrentPotentiometer Setting 0.30A 0% 1.02A 60% 0.42A 10% 1.14A 70% 0.54A 20% 1.26A 80% 0.66A 30% 1.38A 90% 0.78A 40% 1.50A 100% 0.90A 50% -- -- Reducing Output Current Reducing the output current is accomplished automatically and occurs approximately 20mSec after the last of the clock input has been received. The amount of current per phase in the reduction mode is ap- proximately 70% of the set current. When the current reduction circuit is activated, the current reduction resistor is paralleled with the current adjustment potentiometer. This lowers the total resistance value, and thus lowers the per phase output current. Connecting the Step Motor Phase 1 and Phase 3 of the step motor are connected to pins 1 and 2 on connector P2. Phase 2 and Phase 4 of the step motor are connected to pins 3 and 4 on connector P2. Please refer to the fi gure for a typical APPLICATION HOOK-UP. Note: the physical direction of the motor with respect to the direction input will depend on the connection of the motor windings. To reverse the direction of the motor with respect to the direction input, switch the wires on Phase 1 and Phase 3. WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT MOTOR WIRES WHILE POWER IS APPLIED! Motor Selection The MBC15081 is a Bipolar Microstep Driver that is compatible with both Bipolar and Unipolar Motor Confi gurations, (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 MBC15081 uses a constant current source drive technique, it is not necessary to use a motor that is rated at the same voltage as the supply voltage. What is important is that the potentiometer is set to the appropriate current level based on the motor being used. 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 exceed the maximum voltage of the driver.
January 2013 L010133 Step Motor Confi gurations Step motors can be confi gured as 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. Determining Output Current The Output current for a motor used with a bipolar driver is determined differently from that of a unipolar driver. In the MBC15081, 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 MBC15081. 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). 6 Lead Motors Half-Coil Connection: When confi guring a 6 lead motor in half-coil (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. Series: When confi guring the motor is series (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. 8 Lead Motors Series Connection: When confi guring the motor windings in series, use the per Phase (or unipolar) cur- rent 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. 4 Lead Motors Series Connection: 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.
January 2013 L010133 Connecting to the MBC15081 The MBC15081 is designed with cost savings and size as two of the primary design criteria. For this reason, the MTA-100 series connector was chosen for these products as a reliable small and low cost connector. This is a common Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) manufactured by AMP Corporation. The inputs to the driver are on a 7-pin connector and the motors are on a 4-pin connector. These connectors are not supplied with the driver, but can be purchased from Anaheim Automation or AMP/Tyco Electronics. These two images show how a hand tool can be used to quickly make the cable to connect to the driver. This cable can be made in approximately 10 seconds per wire using the hand tool.
