The primary function of this guide is to acquaint the user with the specific-
ations, basic wiring and configuration of the MDrive17 Microstepping. The full
product manual and IMS Motor Interface GUI (for quick and easy parameter
setup) are available on the IMS Product CD or may be downloaded from the
IMS web site at www.imshome.com.

Please observe the following when handling, connecting and using your
MDrive17. Failure to observe these points may result in damage to the
product. All warranty and disclaimer information are located in the full
product manual and should be referenced for more information.

Logic level cables must not run parallel to power cables. This will introduce
noise and make the system unreliable.
Logic level cables must be shielded to reduce the risk of EMI induced
noise. The shield must be grounded at the signal source to AC ground.
The opposite end of the shield must not be connected which allows it to
float and act as a drain.
The supply to the driver must be a twisted pair. If more than one driver is
being connected, run separate leads to each driver.

* All measurements were taken at 25°C, 120 VAC, 60 Hz.
A characteristic of all motors is back EMF. Back EMF is a source
of current that can push the output of a power supply beyond the
maximum operating voltage of the driver. As a result, damage to
the stepper driver could occur over a period of time. Care should
be taken so that the back EMF does not exceed the maximum input
voltage rating of the MDrive17.

The MDrive17 Microstepping consists of two core components, a
motor and a drive. Attention must be paid to the thermal specific-
ations. The following maximum temperatures apply:
Heat Sink Temperature (Max) ......................... 85° C
Motor Temperature (Max) ............................ 100° C

The Parameter Setup Cable eliminates the need
for the user to wire communications. Included in
this cable is built-in logic level shifting circuitry to
accommodate the 3.3v ports on some PC's
This cable plugs in easily to connect a stan-
dard DB-25 PC Parallel/SPI (Serial Peripheral
Interface) port to the 10 pin pin-header (P2)
on the MDrive17. Order Cable Part No.

WARNING! DO NOT connect or disconnect the MD-CC100-000 Parameter
Setup Cable while power is applied.
The Parallel/SPI Port on your PC must be set to one of the following:
n output only n bi-directional n EPP (Extended Parallel Port)
The Parallel Port is confi gured in the bios of your PC.
Contact your PC supplier if you need assistance making this change.
