TM FORCE MICRO DRIVE MICROSTEPPING TM Excellence in Motion DESCRIPTION The ultra compact Microstepping MForce MicroDrive is a high performance, low cost microstepping driver that delivers unsurpassed smoothness and performance achieved through IMS’s advanced 2nd generation current control. By applying innovative techniques to control current fl ow through the motor, resonance is signifi cantly dampened over the entire speed range and audible noise is reduced. Microstepping MForce MicroDrives accept a broad input voltage range from +12 to +48 VDC, delivering enhanced performance and speed. Oversized input capacitors are used to minimize power line surges, reducing problems that can occur with long runs and multiple drive systems. An extended operating range of – 40° to +85°C provides long life, trouble free service in demanding environments. The high, per phase output current of up to 3 Amps RMS, 4.2 Amps Peak, allows the extremely compact MForce MicroDrive to control a broad array of motors from size 11 to size 34. The microstepping drive accepts up to 20 resolution settings from full to 256 microsteps per full step, including: degrees, metric and arc minutes. These settings may be changed on-the-fl y or downloaded and stored in nonvolatile memory with the use of a simple GUI which is provided. This eliminates the need for external switches or resistors. Parameters are changed via an SPI port.
