    This manual describes artworks BS1010, BS1010W and SS1010. The firmware release described is GenStepper version 5.51. The manual version shown on the front page normally has the same value as the associated GenStepper version.

  • Page 7: Product Safety Warnings

    Page 7 Product Safety Warnings The BS1010 and SS1010 series of motor controllers have components that can get hot enough to burn skin if touched, depending on the voltages and currents used in a given application. Care must always be taken when handling the product to avoid touching these components: ...

  • Page 8: Introduction And Product Summary

    That manual guides you through a series of tests that will allow you to get your product operating in the shortest amount of time. The BS1010 and SS1010 microstepping motor controller from Peter Norberg Consulting, Inc., have the following general performance specifications:...

  • Page 9: Notes On The Bs1010 And Ss1010 Usb Power And Ground Isolation

    Notes on the BS1010 and SS1010 USB Power and Ground Isolation The BS1010 and SS1010 artworks optionally provide for some ESD protection to most of the TTL input signals (except for the RST ‘reset’ input line), as well as for either optional isolation of the USB signals from the rest of the board (to avoid potential ground loops), or for optional use of the USB cable as a power source for the logic portion of the board (NOT to run motors).

  • Page 10: Short Feature Summary

    DOUBLE POWER mode. This allows the board to operate a single motor at twice the rated current for the board. For example, the BS1010 1 amp product can operate a single 2 amp motor, when this feature is enabled (assuming that the board is adequately cooled).

  • Page 11: Default Firmware Configuration: Power-On (And Reset) Defaults

    If you are operating motors that require more than 600 mA of current per winding on the BS1010 (or 200 mA per winding on the SS1010), or if your motor voltage exceeds 15 volts then you must provide for fan-based cooling of the board. We suggest at least 8-10 CFM, directed either across the top of the board, or downward towards the board (so that both the 2940 and the driver chips are in the direct path of the airflow).

  • Page 12: Usb Driver Installation Under Windows For The Bs1010 And Ss1010

    USB Driver Installation Under Windows for the BS1010 and SS1010 Page 12 USB Driver Installation Under Windows for the BS1010 and SS1010 The BS1010 and SS1010 boards (not the BS1010W) use a USB driver chip for communications with your hosting computer. FTDI (http://www.ftdichip.com) provides drivers for operation under Windows , Linux, and Mac/OS.

  • Page 13: Initial Testing Of The Board After Driver Installation - Testserialports

    The test assumes that the board is correctly powered in order to ‘talk’ to the com port: in the case of the AR-BS1010 board, you either have to correctly power the board with your own power supply (as described under power connectors), or you have to configure the power jumper on the board to the ‘USB’...

    If you configure the system for ‘instant stop’ using the ‘t’ command, please be aware that, in some designs, damage to gear systems can result when such a sudden stop occurs. Use this feature with care! BS1010 Motor Controllers Peter Norberg Consulting, Inc.

  • Page 17: Motor Slew Control: Y- To Rdy

    As a set of extended operations, both NXT and RDY can be configured by you to accept a 0-5 volt analog input signal, which can be used by the firmware to select the rate for one or both motors. See the ‘t’ command for more details. BS1010 Motor Controllers Peter Norberg Consulting, Inc.

  • Page 18: Potentiometer Rate Control

    All of the board connections (+5V, NXT, RDY and GND) are available on the IO connector on the BS1010. Capacitor C1 is optional; it may be needed if you get too much variance in the rates generated by the circuit (due to noise on the analog input data).

  • Page 20: Routing Serial To 'Child' Boards

    Page 20 Routing Serial to ‘Child’ Boards The BS1010 and SS1010 series of boards support optional “Serial Routing” of data to and from other boards via the “SI2” and “SO2” TTL-Serial connectors. This permits “daisy-chaining” of the boards, so that more than 2 motors may be easily operated off of one serial port.

  • Page 21: Start Binary Route

    ‘{’ and ‘}’ are used to bracket the route address. Please see the ‘SerRoute’ manual for a full explanation of the routing rules: from the point of view of BS1010, however, there are only 3 important SerRoute-compatible route modes, as selected by the first character in the ‘xxx’...

  • Page 29: E - Enable Or Disable Remote Direct Pulse Control

    On both enable and disable, all pending motor actions are immediately stopped. The windings on both motors are forced on when remote pulse control is enabled, and are restored to the status defined by the W command when remote pulse control is disabled. BS1010 Motor Controllers Peter Norberg Consulting, Inc.
  • Page 30 (that is to say, if LX- is low, the X motor is off) If the X motor is enabled (LX- is high), then LX+ controls the motor current used. High means use full current, low means use ½ current. BS1010 Motor Controllers Peter Norberg Consulting, Inc.
  • Page 31 Additionally, the ramp rate ("P") gets reduced to the maximum perfect power of two that is less than or equal to the actively requested rate (for example, "20000P" gets reduced to "16384P"). BS1010 Motor Controllers Peter Norberg Consulting, Inc.

    1H – Run in ½ power mode Note that if the “2W” mode is selected (for leaving windings on at ½ power when motion ceases), then the windings are actually left at ¼ power during idle. BS1010 Motor Controllers Peter Norberg Consulting, Inc.

  • Page 36: I - Wait For Motor 'Idle

    To set the rate such that the motors always immediately start and stop at the desired rate (‘R’) setting, issue the command: 57600K This sets the ‘Stop oK’ rate to the maximum possible step rate, and thus will prevent all ramping behaviors of the code.

  • Page 45: T - Configure All I/O Port Directions And Use

    The ‘t’ command is the master tool used to control the I/O port directions and firmware use of all of the programmable I/O ports in the BS1010 product. As of version 5.23 of the firmware, 't' is ignored if you fail to provide a parameter (i.e., 't' alone results in the board ignoring the command, while '0t' causes the normal 't' operation with a parameter of '0').

    Would define the current location of the X motor to be 2000, and then would actually go to that 2000 location. This combination could be used when the motor is actually slewing or executing a “goto”, to force the “current” location to be set and selected.

The jumper must be installed in one of the 4 positions shown, SS, DS, 5VO or USB.

  • Page 77: Board Mounting And Cooling Considerations

    Note that if the current requirements are over about 0.6 Amp/winding on the BS1010 or 0.2 amp/winding on the SS1010, if the motor supply voltage is above 15 volts, or if the windings are left on through use of the 'W' command, then fan- based cooling of the board is usually required.

  • Page 78: Calculating Current And Voltage Power Supply Requirements

    For example, if you are going to microstep (mode 3) a motor whose winding current has been calculated to be 0.4 amps, then your power supply needs to be able to supply 2 x 0.4, or 0.8 amps to drive that particular motor. BS1010 Motor Controllers Peter Norberg Consulting, Inc.

  • Page 79: Determine The Voltage For Your Motor Power Supply

    0.5 amps of current, then the motor voltage will be 0.5 * 12, or 6 volts. 4. Determine the logic supply requirements The logic supply normally requires 300 mA for the BS1010, SS1010 and BS1010W products. If you choose to operate a fan off of the on-board 5 volts in order to cool the system, or if you are going to tap the 5 volts for other external logic, you need to add in the current which is needed to operate the fan and the external logic.

  • Page 80: Determine The Power Supplies You Will Be Using

    Note that in the 5VO position, you will damage the board if your supply ever reaches or exceeds 6 volts, and the board will undergo a reset if the voltage ever drops (even as a spike) to 4.2 volts. BS1010 Motor Controllers Peter Norberg Consulting, Inc.

It may be factory hard-wired (for volume orders), or it will be available as a jumper selection as needed.

    For bipolar motors, the windings match the labels – that is to say, pins 2-3 are for winding B, and 4-5 are for winding A. Note that the unipolar motors will also match the labels, but it may be more difficult to identify the windings. BS1010 Motor Controllers Peter Norberg Consulting, Inc.
