Overview Overview Introduction The stepper motor control SMCI33 is an extremely compact and cost-effective constant current power output stage with integrated Closed-Loop current control. Due to the great capacity and functions available, it offers designers and developers a rapid and simple method of resolving numerous drive requirements with less programming effort.
Connection diagram Introduction To operate a stepper motor with the SMCI33 stepper motor control, the wiring must be implemented according to the following connection diagram. Inputs (Pin 1 to 6) on the connector X1 and the encoder input (connector X2) can be used optionally.

NanoPro. Input circuits All inputs (apart from the "Analogue In" input) are electrically isolated by optocouplers from the voltage supply of the SMCI33 and designed for 5 - 24 V input signals at an input current of 10 mA. Note: The voltage must not exceed 24 V.
The following encoder resolutions can normally be processed by the controller: 192, 200, 256, 400, 500, 512, 1000, 1024, 2000, 2048. Recommended: Where possible, use Nanotec encoders with the order number WEDS/WEDL-5541 Xxx. If an encoder is not used, the "Disable" mode must be set in the "Error correction" tab in the "Rotation Direction Mode"...
Connections and circuits Stepper motor connection: Connector X3 General information The motor is connected to the SMCI33 with a 4-wire cable. Twisted wire pair cables with braided shields are recommended. Danger of electrical surges Mixing up the connections can destroy the output stage! See also the data sheet of the connected stepper motor.
Voltage supply connection: Connector X4 Permissible operating voltage The permissible operating voltage for the SMCI33 stepper motor control lies between +24 and +48 V DC; it must not exceed 50 V or fall below 21 V . A charging condenser with minimum 4700 µF (10000 µF) must be provided for the operating voltage to prevent exceeding the permissible operating voltage (e.g.
These network connections are set up via the RS485 interface. D-sub socket connector A 9 pin D-Sub socket connector is located on the top of the SMCI33 (connector X5). The connector X5 provides the optional connection to the RS485 network.
