Manual MR 8 / A 32-48 MINI 1 MR 8 Minirack 1.1 Short Overview MR 8 minirack is a modular power supply unit for wall mounting. MR 8 is equipped with up to eight plug-in A 32-48 stepper motor power stages and a MINI Power and ServiceBus (PSB) module.
Page 7
DC Power Supply The MR 8 supply voltage, 24 to 48 V max. 20 A is connected to the Power and ServiceBus (PSB) module and looped through the backplane to the power stages. The PSB module generates 5 V logic voltage for the A 32-48 power stages.
Manual MR 8 / A 32-48 MINI 1.2 LED The LED on the front of the PSB module shines green, when the module is ready. 1.3 DIP Switches Fig. 2: DIP switches in OFF position Both DIP switches on the PSB module type RS 485 are used to address the minirack in ServiceBus mode.

Manual MR 8 / A 32-48 MINI 1.5 Option: A 32-48 Power Stage MINI A 32-48 is a stepper motor power stage for bipolar control of 2-phase stepper motors, MINI which can be plugged-in the minirack. The precision current control of the power stage A 32-48 according to the patented MINI SYNCHROCHOP principle effects optimum running performance of the stepper motor.
1.6 Accessories: Fan The minirack is prepared for mounting of a ventilator plate with 2 fans. Type: DC-fan 80 x 80 x 32, product NMB Permissible supply voltage: 10 to 25.2 V Current: 210 mA Air flow: 99.6 m...
Manual MR 8 / A 32-48 MINI 2 To Consider Before Installation Read this manual very carefully before installing and operating the MR 8. Observe the safety instructions in the following chapter! 2.1 Qualified Personnel Design, installation and operation of systems using the MR 8 may only be performed by qualified and trained personnel.

7. Always switch off the supply voltage if you connect or disconnect any wires or connectors at the power stage. Most important: Do not unplug the motor connector while powered! Danger of electric arcing! 8. The maximum voltage of the signal inputs and outputs must not exceed (I/O connectors).
Manual MR 8 / A 32-48 MINI 2.3 Putting into Service Please follow the described order when you put into service the MR 8: 1. Connect the MR 8 to PE. Use the PE screw, which is fixed on the right side of the device. 2.
2.4 Mounting the Ventilator Plate Mount the ventilator plate to MR 8 as follows: 1. Tool: Torx screwdriver 2. Put the minirack on a rigid mat as follows: 3. Unscrew the 4 screws with the Torx screwdriver (S). 4. Remove the plate with the cable clamps (K).

Manual MR 8 / A 32-48 MINI 6. Remove the cable clamps from the demounted plate and screw it on the ventilator plate. 7. Assemble the 2-pole mating connector (Phoenix, MC 1.5/2-ST-3.81) to the cable of the voltage supply. 8. Mount the voltage supply to the fan connector (Phoenix, MCVU1.5/2-GFD-3.81): Don’t remove all plug-in boards during the ventilator plate mounting to keep the minirack rugged.
3 Power and ServiceBus Module (PSB Module) Every minirack has a PSB module with 2 interfaces. The minirack can be connected to the PC/Controller or to another minirack. There are two PSB modules which differ as follows: 1. The PSB module type USB (Fig. 4) with an integrated USB-RS 485 converter can directly be connected to the USB port of the PC.
Manual MR 8 / A 32-48 MINI 3.1 Technical Data Table Technical Data Supply voltage 24 to 48 V max. 52 V Nominal voltage 48 V Up to 2.5 A are required for every plugged-in power stage. Maximum current: 20 A per rack Reinforced or double insulation between mains and secondary circuit is required.

Technical Data Option: Power stage A 32-48 MINI Step resolution Rotary switch mode The step resolution can be set by the rotary switch: 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 1/8, 1/10, 1/20 of a full step ServiceBus mode The step resolution is programmable:...
3.3 ServiceBus Connector (Interfaces) Every minirack has a PSB module with 2 interfaces. The MR 8 can be connected to the PC/Controller or to another minirack: PSB module type USB (Fig.7 and Fig.8) • Above: 4-pole ServiceBus connector, type A, used as ServiceBus output connector to the next minirack.
3.4 USB Driver Installation Important: Administrator authorizations are required for the driver installation! • Power on your PC. When the desktop is ready, insert the phytron CD and open the folder USB Driver by the Windows Explorer. Select the .exe-program which goes with your system software and start it by double click.
4 Supply Voltage MR 8 can be supplied by means of an unregulated filtered DC voltage from 24 to 48 V Admissible voltage range: 24 to 48 V Fig. 10: Power supply unit The following instructions must be followed for calculation and connection of the supply unit: •...
Manual MR 8 / A 32-48 MINI 4.1 Isolation Overview Fig. 12: MR 8 Isolation The transformer should be constructed with reinforced or double insulation for safe operation of the MR 8 with voltages up to 48 V. The insulation of the minirack fulfills the requirements of a basic insulation for non-mains- circuits for voltages up to 71 V acc.
5 ServiceBus The ServiceBus is used to communicate with the power stages by RS 485 or USB. The ServiceBus mode is activated by the both rotary switches on every power stage: If both rotary switches of all power stages A 32-48 are set on position ‚0’, the operating parameters of the power stage can be read or written.
Manual MR 8 / A 32-48 MINI 5.1 RS 485 Connection There are several possibilities for RS 485 connection (4-wire-mode) in the ServiceBus mode: Option 1: RS 485 connection with built-in USB-RS 485 converter An USB cable A-B connects the USB interface (USB connector type B) of the first MR 8 to PC (USB connector type A).
