    • Short Circuit Protection General Description The MBC25SI1TB is a low cost single axis step motor driver integrated with a programmable simple indexer. The MBC25SI1TB microstep driver/pulse generator has an output current ca- pability of 0.5A minimum to 2.5A maximum (peak rating). The MBC25SI1TB driver operates with a DC voltage of 12VDC to 35VDC.
  • Page 4: Normal Operation

    Motion Profiles and Running the Indexer: Continued Normal Operation A. A Profile input is activated; Ramps up to max speed. B. No limit is active; Max speed is reached (keeps running at max speed). C. No Limit is active; Internal counter signals to ramp down to base speed. D.

    Tab Sheet) Setting the Output Current The output current on the MBC25SI1TB is set by the on-board potentiometer R29 (Refer to Di- mensions/Jumper and Potentiometer Locations). This current adjust potentiometer determines the per phase peak output current of the driver. This relationship between the output current and...
  • Page 10: Determining Output Current

    There is a current adjustment potentiometer used to set the output current of the MBC25SI1TB. This sets the peak output current of the sine/cosine waves. The specified motor current (which is the unipolar value) is multiplied by a factor of 1.0, 1.4, or 2.0 depending on the motor configuration (series, half-coil, or parallel).
  • Page 11: Lead Motors

    Connecting the Step Motor The MBC25SI1TB is designed to accept one motor. For wiring of the motor refer to the pages containing the connector descriptions and hookups diagrams.
  • Page 12: Functions

    Functions Hard Limit Switches: When a hard limit switch is encountered, the pulses will stop. Hard limits are intended as an emergency stop for your system. Soft Limit Switches: These switches cause the indexer to ramp down to the base speed and finish the index, unless encountering a hard limit switch.
