    SMD-7611 and SMD-7612. They are referred to inclusively as the NI SMD-7611/7612. Functionality on these devices are roughly equivalent. The NI SMD-7611 operates from 24 to 48 VDC, and has a running current of up to 4.5 A per phase. The SMD-7612 operates from 24 to 60 VDC, and runs current up to 7.8 A per phase.

    Be alert to the potential for personal injury. Follow the recommended precautions and safe operating practices. Safety notices in this manual provide important information. Read and be familiar with these instructions before attempting installation, operation, or maintenance. The 2 | ni.com | NI SMD-7611/7612 User Manual...
  • Page 3: Block Diagram

    Getting Started You need the following to use your NI SMD-7611/7612 stepper drive:  a 12 to 48 VDC power supply (60 V max for NI SMD-7612). Refer to Choosing a Power Supply for help in choosing the right power supply ...
  • Page 4: Mounting The Drive

    • Use 18 or 20 gauge wire. The NI SMD-7611/7612 drives contain an internal fuse that connects to the power supply + terminal. This fuse is not user replaceable. If you want to install a user serviceable fuse in your system, install a fast acting fuse in line with the + power supply lead.
  • Page 5: Drive Ce Requirements

    This can trip the overvoltage protection of a switching power supply, causing it to shut down. NI offers the SMD-7700 regeneration clamp to solve this problem. If in doubt, buy an SMD-7700 for your first installation. If the regen LED on the SMD-7700 never flashes, you don’t need the clamp.
  • Page 6: Voltage

    That’s because the NI SMD-7611/7612 uses a switching amplifier, converting a high voltage and low current into lower voltage and higher current. The more the power supply voltage exceeds the motor voltage, the less current you’ll need from the power supply.

    Figure 17. Connecting a PNP Type Proximity Sensor to an Input FAULT Output The NI SMD-7611/7612 has a digital FAULT output. This output closes to signal a fault condition. This output can be used to drive LEDs, relays, or the inputs of other electronic devices like PLCs.
  • Page 14: Configuring The Drive

    Step 1: Selecting a Motor and Setting the Current The NI SMD-7611/7612 is optimized for use with NI motors. To select a motor, move the rotary switch to the setting that corresponds to the motor of your choice. You can do this while power is on, but it is safer to select the motor before applying power to the drive so that you do not risk applying too much current to the motor.

  • Page 16: Step 2: Fine Tuning The Motor Current

    At 70% current, the torque is reduced to 70% and the heating to about 50%. Switches 1 and 2 on the front of the SMD-7611/7612 drive are used to set the percent of rated current that will be applied to the motor. Refer to the table below to configure the switches.
  • Page 17: Step 3: Setting Idle Current

    Motor heating and power consumption can also be reduced by lowering the motor current when it is not moving. The SMD-7611/7612 will automatically lower the motor current when it is idle to either 50% or 90% of the running current. The 50% idle current setting will lower the holding torque to 50%, which is enough to prevent the load from moving in most applications.
  • Page 18: Step 5: Step Size

    Step 5: Step Size The SMD-7611/7612 requires a source of step pulses to command motion. This may be a PLC, an indexer, a motion controller or another type of device. The only requirement is that the device be able to produce step pulses whose frequency is in proportion to the desired motor speed, and be able to smoothly ramp the step speed up and down to produce smooth motor acceleration and deceleration.
  • Page 19: Step 6: Step Pulse Type

    (STEP CW), while a second signal pulses for counterclockwise motion (STEP CCW). The SMD-7611/7612 drives can accept this type of signal if you remove the drive cover and move jumper S3 from the default position on pins 1 and 2 to the 1-3 position.
  • Page 20: Step 7: Step Pulse Noise Filter

    DIR inputs. There are two settings for this filter: 150 kHz and 2 MHz. 150 kHz, the factory default, works well for most applications. If you are operating the SMD-7611/7612 at a high number of steps/rev and at high motor speeds, you may be commanding the drive at step rates above 150 kHz.

  • Page 39: Drive Heating

    Drive Heating While NI SMD-7611/7612 devices efficiently transmit power between the power supply and motor, they do generate some heat in the process. This will cause the temperature of the drive to rise above the surrounding air temperature and may also require that the drive be mounted to a heat conducting metal surface.
