Product Overview Figure 3: Front Panel System Identification. The CDR-DCB and CDR-STEP models are PWM amplifiers for DC brush and permanent magnet step motors, respectively. These models operate from +48VDC power. Amp OK, Enable and Step/Direction (for CDR-STEP only) signals are optically isolated...
CDR-DCB can be set to either torque (current) or speed (voltage) mode and is used typically with digital controllers that calculate position and velocity from the motor's encoder. CDR-STEP driver is able to micro-step precisely and reduce power automatically. Current-limit provides protection for motors while optimizing acceleration characteristics.
Features and Specifications 3.4.1 System Features • Windows software configurable motor drive settings. • Operates from DC power with optical isolation between /Enable and /Amp OK signals and power stages. • Drives Newport positioners with motors up to 4 Amps.
Features and Specifications MODEL CDR-DCB/STEP Fail-Safe Enable Enable input logic is Active Low. Fail-Safe is Input provided by an internal pull-up resistor to 5V. Amplifier will default to disabled condition if inputs are open-circuit, or wires are broken.

Operation LED Indicator Functions Color and state of LED indicates amplifier operating conditions: LED COLOR CONDITION ACTION REQUIRED TO ENABLE Green Normal None. Normal "RUN" condition. Flashing Green Ready Ground /Enable input. Power Fault Bring DC voltage into range. Flashing Red Temperature Bring temperature into range.
Operation Opto-isolated Amp OK Output The Amp OK signal indicates amplifier ready to run status. It is completely optically isolated from the amplifier. The input of the optocoupler is driven by the amplifier logic circuits, and the output is an open collector output that can sink up to 10mA. (See Figure 19) J3-6 1.21K...
Installation Input Power Connection The CDR amplifier requires +48VDC power from an external power supply such as the Newport CDR-PS-150, CDR-PS-300, or CDR-PS-600. For connection to these power supplies, two cable lengths are available: CABLE-PD-0.5 0.5 meter CABLE-PD-3 3 meter Figure 21: Diagram –...
Regardless of power rating, Newport recommends not more than two amplifiers be connected to the CDR-PS-xxx power supply when using a star wiring configuration.
