SMD Series
Integrated Stepper Driver and Motor
Revision 1.3
The SMD is a self-contained stepper motor and
driver package, capable of optimizing a wide
variety of industrial stepper motor control
applications. It is no longer necessary to run a
cable from the indexer to the driver and then a
cable from the driver to the motor. Now you
simply have to connect the step and direction
signals, along with supply voltage, directly to the
SMD and your installation is complete.

Summary of Contents for AMCI SMD Series

  • Page 1 SMD Series Integrated Stepper Driver and Motor Revision 1.3 The AMCI Integrated Stepper Motor and Microstepping Drive Combination represents the future of Stepper Motor Control applications. The SMD is a self-contained stepper motor and driver package, capable of optimizing a wide variety of industrial stepper motor control applications.
  • Page 2: Technical Specifications

    Integrated Stepper Driver and Motor Revision 1.3 The SMD uses step and direction control signals generated from an external source. (i.e. AMCI’s 3202 or 3601 stepper control modules) It is powered by an external DC supply with an operating range of 24 to 75Vdc. There are additional control pins that can be used to disable the motor.

  • Page 7: Installation

    SMD Series Integrated Stepper Driver and Motor Revision 1.3 INSTALLATION The mounting flange functions as both a mounting mechanism and also a heatsink. Mount the SMD to a large as possible thermally conductive surface. Heat is conducted from the SMD to the mounting fixture resulting in motor/drive cooling.

  • Page 10 SMD Series Integrated Stepper Driver and Motor Revision 1.3 Wiring the SMD Control Signals to a Single-Ended Input The SMD is built with differential inputs for optimal noise immunity. However many stepper control circuits use single-ended (sinking or sourcing) control signals. The following schematics show the correct wiring when using the SMD with single-ended control signals.
