SE C T I O N 2. 1 Mounting and Connection Recommendations Mounting Recommendations There are no special mounting considerations for this device. Flange mounting holes are drilled through with a diameter of 0.217" (5.51mm) to take standard M5 screws. The length of the screw used will be determined by the mounting flange width.
To simplify the wiring and connection process IMS offers USB to RS-422 communications cables for each of the MDrivePlus Motion Control models. These convenient 12.0' (3.6m) accessory cables connect a PC’s USB Port to the MDrivePlus P2 Connector. An in-line RS-422 converter enables parameter setting to a single MDrivePlus Motion Con- trol.
Single Mode Communications Half Duplex (RS-485) The MDrivePlus Motion Control can be operated in a 2 wire RS-485 communication bus. Before connecting the 2 wire RS-485, download your program and setup instructions using the standard 4 wire RS-422 Communications Cable. If a program is not being used, download and save any setup parameters.
Figure 2.2.3: RS-485 Interface, Multiple MDrivePlus Motion Control System Data Cable lengths greater than 15 feet (4.5 meters) are susceptible to signal reflection and/or noise. IMS recommends 120 Ω termination resistors in series with 0.1µf capacitors at both ends of the Data Cables. An example of resistor place- ment is shown in Figure 2.2.3 above.

Shown are: Product Overvew Selectng a Planetary Gearbox Mechanical Specifications Product Overview All gearboxes are factory installed.
Calculating the Shock Load Output Torque (T AB ) Note: The MDrive23 and the numbers and Note: The following examples are based on picking “temporary variables” which may be adjusted. values used in these The shock load output torque (T AB ) is not the actual torque generated by the MDrive and Planetary Gearbox examples have been chosen combination, but is a calculated value that includes an operating factor (C B ) to compensate for any shock randomly for demonstration...
Nominal Output Torque Calculate the nominal output torque using the torque values from the MDrive’s Speed/Torque Tables. Nominal output torque (T ) is the actual torque generated at the Planetary Gearbox output shaft which includes reduction ratio (i), gear efficiency (η) and the safety factor (s ) for the MDrive.
Shock Load Output Torque The nominal output torque (T ) is the actual working torque the Planetary Gearbox will generate. The shock load output torque (T ) is the additional torque that can be generated by starting and stopping with no acceleration ramps, payloads, inertia and directional changes. Although the nominal output torque (T ) of the Planetary Gearbox is accurately calculated, shock loads can greatly increase the dy- namic torque on the Planetary Gearbox.
System Inertia System inertia must be included in the selection of an MDrive and Planetary Gearbox. Inertia is the resistance an object has relative to changes in velocity. Inertia must be calculated and matched to the motor inertia. The Planetary Gearbox ratio plays an important role in matching system inertia to motor inertia. There are many variable factors that affect the inertia.
Rack and Pinion In a system with a rack and pinion, the following must be considered: The weight or mass of the pinion The weight or mass of the rack The friction and/or preload between the pinion and the rack ...
Rotary Table In a system with a rotary table, the following must be considered: The weight or mass and size of the table Any parts or load the table is carrying The position of the load on the table, the distance from the center of the table will af- fect the inertia ...
Chain Drive In a system with a chain drive, the following must be considered: the weight and size of drive sprocket and any attaching hub the weight and size of the driven sprocket and shaft the weight of the chain ...
Planetary Gearbox Inertia In addition to System Inertia, the Planetary Gearbox inertia must also be included when matching system inertia to motor inertia. The Planetary Gearbox inertia varies with the ratio and the number of stages. The table below lists the inertia values for the MDrive14, 17, 23 and 34 Planetary Gearbox. The values are in oz-in-sec (ounce-inches-second squared).

Interfacing Outputs as a Group Example The MDrivePlus inputs may be written to as a group using the OL, OH and OT keywords. This will set the out- puts as a binary number representing the decimal between 0 to 15 representing the 4 bit binary number (OL, OH) or as an 8 bit binary number representing the decimal 0 to 255 on the MDrivePlus models.
a p pe ndi x E MDrivePlus Motion Control Closed Loop Control MDrive Motion Control Closed Loop Options The MDrive Motion control has two closed loop options: Internal magnetic encoder on all MDrivePlus models or interface to a remote user supplied encoder on MDrivePlus models.
Remote Encoder - MDrive34Plus (20-Pin Locking Wire Crimp) The MDrivePlus models are available with the option of using a remote encoder through the enhanced I/O. The advantage of using a remote encoder is that the encoder can be stationed directly on the load for increased accuracy.

The drivers for the MD-CC40x-000 will automatically assign a VCP to the device during installation. The VCP port number will be needed when IMS Terminal is set up in order that IMS Terminal will know where to find and communicate with your IMS Product.
Prototype Development Cable PD14-2334-FL3 IMS recommends the Prototype Development Cable PD14-2334-FL3 for interfacing I/O and Logic to the MDrive34Plus Motion Control. IMS recommends the Prototype Development Cable PD14-2334-FL3 with the first order of an MDrive34Plus Motion Control to mate with the 14-pin locking wire crimp connector P1.
Prototype Development Cable PD10-1434-FL3 (All MDrivePlus Motion Control) The PD10-1434-FL3 is used to connect to the 10-pin wire crimp option for interfacing RS-422/485 Com- munications. It also features and additional cable attached for multi-drop communications systems. It is important to note that Cable 1 will connect to the Communications host. Cable 2 will be used to inter- face additional MDrivePlus Motion Control Units.
