Warranty. SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 USING THIS MANUAL It is important that you understand how this SLO-SYN SS2000MD4-M Translator/Drive is installed and operated before you attempt to use it. We strongly recommend that you read this manual completely before pro-...
Appendix A provides procedures for troubleshooting electrical interference problems. PRODUCT FEATURES The SLO-SYN SS2000MD4-M Translator/Drive is a bipolar, adjustable speed, two-phase PWM drive which uses hybrid power devices. It can be set to operate a step motor in microstep mode at up to 20,000 microsteps per revolution.
SECTION 2: EXPRESS START UP PROCEDURE The following instructions define the minimum steps necessary to make your Drive operational. CAUTION: Always disconnect the power to the unit before connecting or discon- necting the motor leads. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN A SHOCK HAZARD AND MAY DAMAGE THE DRIVE.
SECTION 3: INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 3.1 MOUNTING The SLO-SYN Drive is mounted by fastening its mounting brackets to a flat surface. Dimensions are shown in Figure 3.1. If the drive assembly is mounted against a bulkhead, be sure to apply a thin coating of thermal com- pound between the drive and the mounting surface before fastening the unit in place.

Cabling from the drive to the motor should be done with a shielded, twisted- pair cable. The wires for each motor phase should be twisted together about six times per foot (0.3 m). Superior Electric offers the following motor cable configurations. These cables have unterminated leads on both ends. Length...

POWER INPUT The dc input power is connected to terminals 5 and 6 of the terminal strip. Terminal 5 [Vm(+)] is the power supply plus (+) connection and pin 6 [Vom (-)] is the power supply minus (-) connection. An unregulated supply similar to that shown in Figure 3.4 is preferable. If a regulated supply is used, it must be capable of operating with the added filter capacitor.

4.5 CURRENT SETTINGS The proper current setting for each motor is shown on the individual torque vs. speed curves. Use this current level to obtain the torque shown. Switches 1 through 5 are used to select the current level. Select the desired operating current by setting the appropriate switch to position 1 (ON).

A low to high transition on this terminal advances the motor one step. The step size is determined by the Step Resolution switch setting. Direction Input When this signal is high, motor rotation will be clockwise. Rota- tion will be counterclockwise when this signal is low. Clockwise and counterclockwise directions are properly oriented when viewing the motor from the end opposite the mounting flange.
Suggested Methods For Control Interface Figure 4.2 4.9 INDICATOR LIGHTS "FAULT" LED, Red Lights to indicate over current condition. This condition is caused by motor wiring errors or a ground fault. Recovery from over current condition requires removing and then re- applying the power.
SECTION 5: TORQUE VERSUS SPEED CHARACTERISTICS 5.1 MOTOR PERFORMANCE All stepper motors exhibit instability at their natural frequency and harmonics of that frequency. Typically, this instability will occur at speeds between 50 and 1000 full steps per second and, depending on the dynamic motor load parameters, can cause excessive velocity modulation or improper position- ing.

SECTION 6: TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING: Motors connected to this drive can develop high torque and large amounts of mechanical energy. Keep clear of the motor shaft and all parts mechanically linked to the motor shaft. Turn off all power to the drive before performing work on parts me- chanically coupled to the motor.

IF "FAULT" INDICATOR IS LIT, Check For: Improper motor wiring Grounded or shorted wiring to the motor or shorted motor Improper motor type or incorrect Current Select switch setting If a malfunction occurs that cannot be corrected by making the preceding checks, contact Superior Electric.
Check the quality of the ac line voltage using an oscilloscope and a line monitor, such as the Superior Electric VMS series. If line voltage problems exist, use appropriate line conditioning, such as line filters or isolation transformers.
