Introduction
The MBC25P11 is an economical single axis step motor driver integrated with a programmable pulse
generator. The MBC25P11 microstep driver/pulse generator has an output current capability of 0.5A
minimum to 2.5A maximum (peak rating). The MBC25P11 driver operates with a DC voltage of 12VDC to
35VDC. The MBC25P11’s internal PG (pulse generator) has four different programmable motion profiles.
The MBC25P11 also has directional soft and hard limit switch inputs, a busy output...

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 located in the “Motion Tab”. To read and clear
the error while in “Direct Mode” use the “!” command. Once the error has been read and cleared, the LED
will return to green and the error code register will be cleared....

Hard Limits: These two inputs are active low and are controlled by the direction of the pulse generator.
When the pulse generator is running in the positive direction only hard+ will work. When the pulse generator
is running in the negative direction then only hard- will work. When pulled low the pulse generator will stop
all pulses to the motor. To reverse off of a Hard Limit, release the Run input, change directions, and
activate the Run input again to move in the opposite...

Setting the Output Current
The output current on the MBC25P11 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 setting is
as follows:

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 specified current is used. Most specified motor currents are maximum values. Care should be
taken to not exceed these ratings.
