Introduction Thank you for selecting an Applied Motion Products motor control. We hope our dedication to per- formance, quality and economy will make your motion control project successful. If there’s anything we can do to improve our products or help you use them better, please call or fax. We’d like to hear from you.
• a compatible step motor • a small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors - an Applied Motion Products screw- driver suitable for this purpose is included with your drive. • a personal computer running Windows 3.2, 95, 98, NT, W2K, XP, Vista or Vista64, with a 9 pin serial port (486 or better with 8 MB RAM recommended) •...
Connecting the AC Line The Si5580 is set for 110 VAC operation at the factory. If you use 110 VAC power, all you need to do is install a power cord and plug it in (skip to Installing an AC Line Cord). If you plan to use 220 VAC power, follow the instructions below.

The AC power plug that was shipped with your Si5580 might be one of two types. The “old style” is shown in the diagram below, on the left. The “new style”, shown on the right, comes with an insulat- ing rubber boot.
Connecting the Motor Never connect the motor to the driver when the AC power is on. Secure any unused motor leads. Never disconnect the motor while the AC power is on. Never connect motor leads to ground or to a power supply. You must now decide how to connect your motor to the drive.

Eight lead motors can also be connected in two ways: series and parallel. As with six lead motors, series operation gives you more torque at low speeds and less torque at high speeds. In series opera- tion, the motor should be operated at 30% less than the rated current to prevent overheating. The wiring diagrams for eight lead motors are shown below.
•Locate your computer within 6 feet of the Si5580. •Your Si5580 was shipped with a black adapter plug. It has a telephone style jack at one end and a larger 9 pin connector at the other. Plug the large end into the COM1 serial port of your PC. Secure the adapter with the screws on the sides.
The Si5580 has two limit switch inputs, LIMIT CW and LIMIT CCW. By connecting these inputs to switches or sensors that are triggered by the motion of the motor or load, you can force the Si5580 to operate within certain limits. This is useful if a program error could cause damage to your system from the motor traveling too far.
Wiring a Mechanical Limit Switch You can use normally open or normally closed limit switches. Either way, wire them as shown here. CW LIMIT+ CCW LIMIT+ Si5580 5-24 CW LIMIT- SUPPLY CCW LIMIT- Wiring a Limit Sensor Some systems use active limit sensors that produce a voltage output rather than a switch or relay closure.
JOG CCW Note: If current is flowing into or out of an Si5580 input, the logic state of that input is low. If no current is flowing, or the input is not connected, the logic state is high. The diagrams on the following pages show how to connect Si5580 inputs to various devices.

IN/JOG COM MOTION+ Power Supply MOTION– Connecting an Input to the Si-1 Motion Output (Set Si-1 motion signal to “in position”. Si-1 will trigger Si5580 at end of each move). 5-24 Power OUT+ Supply OUT– Connecting a 3540i, Si3540, 7080i or MC8400 (When output closes, Si5580 input goes low).
Wiring Outputs Before we discuss the output conditions, we need to talk about the circuitry. All three Si5580 outputs are optically isolated. That means that there is no electrical connection between the indexer-drive and the output terminals. The signal is transmitted to the output as light. What you “see” is a transistor (NPN type) that closes, or conducts current, when the output is “low”.
Using the Fault Output The Si5580 has a fault output to tell you if the drive has overheated or if a short circuit has occured at the motor outputs. The fault output is optically isolated for noise immunity. This makes it more flexible and more reliable, but also harder to hook up.
Microstepping drives like the Si5580 precisely control the amount of current in each phase at each step position as a means of electronically subdividing the steps even further. The Si5580 offers a choice of 13 step resolutions.
You can mount your drive on the wide or the narrow side of the case. Either way you’ll need to get the brackets and screws out of the accessory bag and bolt them onto the Si5580. If you’re mounting on the narrow side, you’ll first have to remove one of the screws from the heat sink, then put it back with...

Then cut a hole in your panel for the cable that runs (included) between the MMI and the Si5580. The hole must sealant (not included) be at least 5/8” in diameter for the connector to panel fit thorugh.
Technical Specifications Amplifiers Dual, MOSFET H-bridge, 3 state, pulse width modulated switching at 20 kHz. 0.5 - 5.5 amps/phase output current, switch selectable in 0.2 increments. 340 watts maximum output power. Overcurrent and overtemperature protection. Automatic idle current reduction (defeatable), reduces current to 50% of setting after one second.
