  • Page 4: Introduction

    It is good practice to wire a fuse between the motor power supply and the MM160. Do not turn motor power on if the logic side of the MM160 is not powered – damage to the TB6560 driver chip may result. If the motor will not turn then check your wiring.
  • Page 5 Adjusting Motor Drive Current The MM160 motor drive current is set by a DIP switch in four increments. Default setting is 3.5A – the maximum setting. It is possible to set the motor current in such a way that the control chip delivers too much current to the motor resulting in motor overheating.
  • Page 6: Detailed Description

    The MM160 has two I/O ports: a motor control port and motor drive port shown in the connector layout diagram below. The motor control port accepts step and direction inputs which are routed to the TB6560 driver chip.
  • Page 7: Dip Switch Setting

    MM160 Technical Reference Manual The 5V DC power must be applied to the MM160 before or at the same time that motor power is applied and the ground between the logic and motor ground must be common. If motor power is applied before 5V power the MM160 maybe damaged.
  • Page 8: Thermal Considerations

    MM160 Technical Reference Manual The MM160 supports four different step modes set by DIP switch 1 and 2 shown in the diagram above. The MM160 has four torque modes. The maximum torque is 3.5A set by two 0.150 ohm sense resistors.
