  • Page 4: Introduction To The Mx3660

    MX series was specially designed to allow easy and rapid implementation of multiple axis stepper solutions. With up to 60VDC working voltage and output current to 6.0A, Leadshine multi-axis stepper drives are capable of driving multiple 2 phase stepper motors in frame size 17, 23, 24, and 34.
  • Page 5: Getting Start

    To get start you need one PC with parallel port (DB25), three stepper motors (one is also ok) and a DC power supply for the first time evaluation. The MX3660 is designed for those applications using Mach3 as the motion controller. However it is also possible to control it a traditional motion controller which generates the Steps &...

    42HS series (NEMA 17), 57HS series (NEMA 23), 86HS series (NEMA 34) stepper motor which has the A+, A-, B+ and B- lead. Just connect these leads to the corresponding terminals of the MX3660 as follows. Please refer to the motor’s datasheet for the wire color definition.
  • Page 7: Connecting The Emergency Stop Switch

    Connecting the Emergency Stop Switch The emergency stop input of the MX3660 is used to disable the power stage of the motor output. By default this input is active high, meaning that you need connect a normal close switch between the Estop+ and Estop- terminal.
  • Page 8: Connecting The Inverter

    The MX3660 has four general purpose digital outputs of OC (open collector) type. The actual connection between the MX3660 and the inverter depends on the control mode of the inverter. The following connection diagram use one output to start the spindle, one output to stop the spindle and the 0-10V output to control the spindle speed.

    Hardware installation manual of the multi-axis drive MX3660 Typical Connections Typical Connections of the MX3660 with CNC machine Configuration For the motor drive module, you only need to configure the peak current and micro step resolution for the stepper motor. A 6-bit DIP switch is used for this purpose. Usually, the RMS current of the drive should be equal to the motor’s phase current (or rated current).

    3.82A 6.00A 4.29A Current and micros step resolution setting of the MX3660 Power Supply Selection To achieve good driving performances, it is important to choose a suitable supply voltage and use a matching current value. Generally speaking, supply voltage determines the high speed performance of the motor, while output current determines the output torque of the driven motor (particularly at lower speed).

    Hardware installation manual of the multi-axis drive MX3660 within each periodic time. Over-voltage Protection When power supply voltage exceeds the limits, protection will be activated and red LED will blink twice within each periodic time. When above protections are active, the motor shaft will be free or the LED will blink.
