  • Page 6: Torque Curves

    Torque Curves No Load Acceleration The table below lists the time it take the motor under no load to get from 0 RPM to 4000 RPM with different gain values. Different Ki, Kp and IV values will also effect this time. This Test was done with the factor default settings for Ki, Kp and IV values.
  • Page 7: Section 2: Functions

    Section 2: Functions Run at the Set Speed: This command starts the motion of the motor in the set direction and at the set speed. The set speed, which can be set either digitally or with an analog input to the controller, is in units of RPM.
  • Page 8: Pi Control Tuning

    RUN/STOP Input: Grounding this input will cause the motor to start its motion with the set parameters. Driving this input High(5VDC) or making it High Impedance(i.e. no electrical connection), will stop the motor with a Hard Brake or Coast it to a stop depending on the current brake setting. See Hard Brake and Freewheel for more details on the brake setting.
  • Page 9: Section 3: Bmc100 Software

    Section 3: BMC100 Software The BCM100 software is a useful utility that supports Anaheim Automation’s BLY17MDC Series and MDC100-050101USB controllers. The BMC100 software communicates via a serial port on the PC and it uses the Anaheim Automation ASCII protocol. For more details regarding the Anaheim Automation ASCII protocol, see the Direct Talk Mode section.
  • Page 10 6. The BMC100 software will attempt to establish communications with the controller; if a connection is established, the BMC100 graphical interface will appear as shown below. 7. If the software did not automatically establish a connection with the controller, make sure that the controller is properly connected to the PC using an RS485-to-USB adapter and that the controller is powered on.
  • Page 11 Motion Control Mode Sets the controller to run in Analog or Digital Mode Direction Sets the direction of rotation of the motor to Clockwise or Counter-Clockwise Freewheel If this is set, the motor will coast to a stop when the stop command is received Brake If this is set, the motor will immediately stop when the stop command is received Start Motor...
  • Page 12: Section 4: Direct Talk Mode

    Section 4: Direct Talk Mode Direct Talk Mode is used to directly control the BLY17MDC through serial commands sent out of a PC’s COM port. The BLY17MDC has easy-to-remember commands for direct motion control. COM Port Settings Baud Rate 38400 Data Bits Parity None...
  • Page 13 Analog Mode Format: Description: Engages the Analog Mode; in this mode, the speed is set from the analog input value accroding to the analog upper and lower limits. Digital Mode Format: Description: Engages the Digital Mode; in this mode, the speed is set digitally through the provided software or using an RS-485 capable machine controller.
  • Page 14 Proportional Constant Format: KP[value] Description: Sets the Proportional Constant value of the PI algorithm. Range: 0 - 100 Digital Speed Format: M[value] Description: Sets the Digital Speed of the device. Note that the controller must be in Digital Mode in order to run the motor at the set Digital Speed. If the controller is in Analog Mode, the Digital Speed will be changed, but the motor will keep running at the Analog Speed.

  • Page 17 Coast/Freewheel Format: Description: This command causes the motor to coast to a stop if in motion, and changes the brake setting to “Freewheel”. Hard Brake Format: Description: This command causes the motor to immediately stop if in motion, and it changes the brake setting to “Hard Brake”.
  • Page 18 Set Analog Speed Min Format: [[value] Description: Sets the lower boundary of the Analog Speed Mode to the given value. The value must be in RPM. The Analog Speed Min must be less than the Analog Speed Max. Range: 100 - 4000 Set Analog Speed Max Format: ][value]...
