• 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.
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.
“bits per second”, a term that expresses only the number of “data” bits per second. Very often, the parity bit is included as an information or data bit. The MBC25SI1TB only accepts a baud rate of 38400.

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...
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).
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.
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.
SMPG-SMSI Software The SMPG-SMSI software is a handy utility that supports Anaheim Automation’s programmable pulse generators and simple indexers. Connecting your PC to the MBC25SI1TB, via a serial cable, the software can easily perform the following tasks: • Exercise and monitor the MBC25SI1TB •...
“The Unit is Connected” / “The Unit is Not Connected” On the right of the Toolbar, the user will find the communication status of the pulse generator. If communications is not established, please refer to the troubleshooting section. File Menu Setup Menu Exit Exit the SMPG-SMSI Software...

4. Was the software installed successfully? 5. Go to Setup│ Communication Settings and verify COM Port settings. 6. Click on Connect icon to communicate with the unit. 7. If problems still exist, contact Anaheim Automation Tech Support. Problem: There is no power to the indexer.
Error Codes Error Code Type Description Receive Overflow The serial communications had a receiving error. This is an Error internal error caused by the computer. There was an invalid number of characters sent to the pulse Range Error generator. Check to see if the parameters are invalid for the command that was sent.
Anaheim Automation will repair or replace at its’ option, any product which has been found to be defective and is within the warranty period, provided that the item is shipped freight prepaid, with previous authorization (RMA#) to Anaheim Automation’s plant in Anaheim, California.
