T h e I B 4 6 2 H The IB462H is a low cost, high performance alternative to larger drives. The small size of the IB462H makes it ideal for system designs where space is at a premium without having to sacrifice performance as a result.
Ensure that the Power Supply output voltage does not WARNING! exceed the maximum input voltage of the IB462H/INT-462! The IB462H rear plate MUST be kept to 70° or below WARNING! or damage may occur to the device! Use of an external heat sink and the included thermal pad is required to maintain a rear plate temperature of 70°C or below!

D i r e c t M o u n t i n g t h e I B 4 6 2 H t o a P C B o a r d The IB462H is designed to be soldered directly into a PC board. The follow- ing diagram contains the hole pattern and recommended pad sizes for direct mounting of the IM483H/IM805H.
C i r c u i t O p e r a t i o n The IB462H is a bipolar chopping stepper motor drive. It receives step clock, direction and mode signals from the system controller to generate constant phase currents which are adjustable in magnitude.
In wave drive mode one phase is energized at a time. This mode is enabled by selecting full step mode when the IB462H is in an even numbered state. To select this mode, power the IB462H, send a single step clock pulse then sink...

T h e P o w e r S u p p l y - D r i v e r R e l a t i o n s h i p The IB462H is very current efficient as far as the power supply is concerned.

The current regeneration may be too large for the regulated supply to absorb. This could lead to an over voltage condition which could damage the output circuitry of the IB462H. Non IMS switching power supplies and regulated linear supplies with overcurrent protection are not recommended because of their inability to handle the surge currents inherit in stepping motor systems.
S e l e c t i n g a + 5 V D C S u p p l y In the event that you are manufacturing your own interface for the IB462H you will need to supply +5VDC to power the logic circuitry inside the hybrid.
Since the output voltage of an unregulated power supply will vary with the AC input applied it is recommended that an AC line filter be used to prevent damage to the IB462H due to a lightning strike or power surge. WARNING! Verify that the power supply wiring is correct prior to power application.
Polyphase Synchronous Motor. This means it has multiple phases wound in the stator and the rotor is dragged along in synchronism with the rotating magnetic field. The IB462H is designed to work with the following types of stepping motors:...
W i n d i n g I n d u c t a n c e Since the IB462H is a constant current source, it is not necessary to use a motor that is rated at the same voltage as the supply voltage. What is impor- tant is that the IB462H is set to the motor’s rated current.

IMS stocks the following 1.8° hybrid stepping motors that are recommended for the IB462H. All IMS motors are CE marked. For more detailed informa- tion on these motors please see the IMS Full Line Catalog or the IMS web site at www.imshome.com.
M2-2232-S ..............M2-2232-D M2-2240-S ..............M2-2240-D IMS also carries a new series of 23 frame enhanced stepping motors that are recommended for use with the IB462H. These motors use a unique relationship between the rotor and stator to generate more torque per frame size while ensuring more precise positioning and increased accuracy.
NOTE: The physical direction of the motor with respect to the direction input will depend upon the connection of the motor windings. To switch the direction of the motor with respect to the direction input, switch the wires on either phase A or phase B outputs.
P a r a l l e l C o n n e c t i o n An 8 lead motor in a parallel configuration offers a more stable but lower torque at lower speeds, but because of the lower inductance there will be higher torque at higher speeds.
F u l l C o i l C o n f i g u r a t i o n The full coil configuration on a six lead motor should be used in applications where higher torque at lower speeds is desired. This configuration is also referred to as full copper.
I n t e r f a c i n g t o t h e I B 4 6 2 H S e c t i o n O v e r v i e w The IB462H was designed to be incorporated directly in the user’s printed circuit board. In order to operate, the IB462H must have the following connections: Layout and interface guidelines.
Pins 13, 14 (+V), and 15, 16 (Ground) are used to connect motor DC power to the IB462H. Two local capacitors are needed, connected between pins 13, 14 and 15, 16. These must be located as close to the IB462H’s motor power input pins as possible to ensure stable operation.
R e q u i r e d C a p a c i t o r A 22 microfarad 10V tantalum capacitor must be placed as close to the IB462H as possible between the +5VDC input pin 5 and ground (See figure 1.7.1 for PCB layout example).

I n t e r f a c i n g t h e L o g i c I n p u t s The inputs to the IB462H are internally pulled up to the +5VDC supply. Figure 1.7.3 shows the inputs and their associated pull up resistor values. See Section 1.2: Hardware Specifications, for input tolerance.

S e c t i o n 2 . 1 T h e I N T- 4 6 2 I n t e r f a c e B o a r d I N T- 4 6 2 F e a t u r e s This section covers the INT-462 interface board for the IB-462H.
Table 2.1.2: INT-462 Electrical Specifications T h e r m a l S p e c i f i c a t i o n s The following thermal information is repeated from Section 1.2 of the IB462H portion of this document.
M o u n t i n g t h e I N T- 4 6 2 WARNING! The IB462H Driver must be mounted to a Heat Sink at all power levels. The Isolated Thermal Pad supplied with the H-462H Heat Sink must aslo be used.
The INT-462 uses a 1mA current source to provide a reference level to the current adjust pin (Pin 1) of the IB462H driver. To control the output curent a resistor is placed between Pins 13 and 14 of the interface board. Connection of this resistor is essential for the IB462H/INT-462 to operate.
R e d u c i n g t h e O u t p u t C u r r e n t The INT-462 will automatically reduce the current in the motor windings .5 seconds after the falling edge of the last step clock pulse. There are two possible ways that this may be done.
D i s a b l i n g t h e D r i v e r O u t p u t s ( E N O N M o d e ) The second method is to disable the driver outputs. In this configuration the driver outputs will disable 0.5 seconds after the following edge of the last step clock pulse.
INT-462 allows for easy “plug and play” interfacing with an array of controllers ranging from the IMS LYNX to a variety of PLCs. These inputs may be powered using one of two methods: An external +5 to +24 VDC power supply or by using the on-board +5 volts.
If the controller or PLC being used with the INT-462/IB462H has a voltage output, this may also be used to power the opto-couplers. If this mode of powering the logic inputs is used, the shunt on JP2 must be placed between pins 1 and 2 (factory default placement).
F a u l t P r o t e c t i o n C i r c u i t r y / F a u l t O u t p u t The INT-462H adds phase to ground fault protection to the IB462H. If a phase to ground fault is detected, the driver will set the fault output and the red LED will illuminate.

The velocity will vary between a user configured initial velocity and a maximum velocity with voltage level applied to the input. Axis direction is controlled by the direction input. In addition to this powerful array of features, the OSC-462H has buffered step clock and direction outputs to facilitate cascading of drives.

This input would be used if an external 0 - 40kHz clock input is being used as a motion clock for the IB462H. This input will increment the motor only if the /Start input is in a logic HIGH (internal oscillator stopped) state.

When operating as a velocity device the OSC-462H will output step clock pulses to the IB462H driver. The initial and maximum frequency of these pulses, and the rate which they accelerate between these values is established by the following four parameters:...
Figure 2.2.11: Intitialization Mode S e t t i n g t h e O S C - 4 6 2 H a s a J o y s t i c k I n t e r f a c e When operating as a joystick interface it is necessary that the joystick be calibrated.
This application example shows the OSC-462H/IB462H connected to an external step clock/direction source, in this case a LYNX Control Module. The IB462H’s motion can be controlled by the LYNX, or third party motion controller with TTL or sinking (NPN) outputs. The OSC-462H responds to step clock and direction inputs when the /Start input is left N/C.
This application sample shows a secondary IB series drive, such as an IB463 or IB1010, cascaded off of the OSC-462H step clock and direction outputs. Connected in this fashion the secondary driver will “follow” the primary drive, the IB462H. +VDC Line...
