Connecting the Motor
STEP motors have 4, 6 or 8 leads, these are wired to 4 connections on the
drive in various combinations.
Motors will perform differently according to the way it is connected,
to nd out more about the different
ways of connecting your motor, see
the specs or FAQs on our website.

Selecting Between Full and Half Step Operation
The top switch in the bank of DIP switches selects between FULL and
HALF step operation.
Setting Phase Current
The drive uses a combination of DIP switch settings to set the current. There is always a base current of 0.4A. To increase this current slide the switch for each value
towards the label until they add up to your required value.
Suppose you want to set the driver for 2.2 amps per phase. You need the 0.4 A
base current plus another 1.6 and 0.2 A.
2.2 = 0.4 + 1.6 + 0.2
Slide the 1.6 and 0.2 A switches toward the labels as shown in the gure.
Warning: When connecting the motor to the driver, be sure that the motor
power supply is off. Secure any unused motor leads so that they can’t
short to anything. Never disconnect the motor while the drive is powered
up. Never connect motor leads to ground or to a power supply!
Connecting Logic
A schematic diagram of the input circuit is shown below.
You must supply 5 volts DC to activate the LEDs on
the input side of the optoisolators. The maximum
current draw is 15 mA.
Your controlling logic must be capable of sinking at
least 5 mA to control each drive input. Most CMOS
and open collector TTL devices are directly compatible with this drive. Logic low, or 0, for a given input
occurs when that input is pulled to less than 0.8 volts
DC. In this state the LED is conducting current. Logic
high, or 1, occurs when the input is greater then 4 volts or open.
STEP tells the driver when to move the motor one step.
DIRECTION signals which way the motor should turn.
ENABLE allows the user to turn off the current to the motor by setting this signal
to logic 0.
If you have no need to disable the ampliers, you don’t need to connect
anything to the ENABLE input.
Using the Oscillator
Drives with an O sufx are equipped with internal
pulse generators that you can use to drive the mo-
tor. To set the drive to oscillator mode, simply nd
the jumper located near the center of the printed
circuit board and move it to the SLEW setting. The
gure at the right shows the proper setting of the
jumper.
To change the slew speed, locate the trimpot labeled SPEED. By turning the brassscrew you can raise or lower the speed. Turning the screw clockwise makes the
motor run faster.
The acceleration and deceleration rates can also be adjusted using the
trimpots labeled ACCEL and DECEL. Turning the screw clockwise makes
the motor accelerate and decelerate faster.

The latest revision of model 3535 O step motor drive includes an analog signal input
connector that can be used to control the oscillator speed externally. Normally, an on
board potentiometer controls the speed.
You will need:
a 100kW or 200kW linear potentiometer. A multiturn type is recommended.
•
a two pin female connector compatible with .025 inch square pins on .100”
•
centers. AMP type MTA-100 is one type that works well
a shielded, two wire cable
•
To install the external pot:
• locate the connector on the 3535 O labelled ÒXSPD.Ó It can be found between the
signal connector and the three blue potentiometers.
• turn the screw on the blue SPEED potentiometer 15 turns counterclockwise. If you
don’t do this, the external potentiometer will not provide the correct speed range.
• prepare a cable with your pot on one end and the connector on the other end:
the potentiometer wiper connects to pin 2
the potentiometer CW terminal connects to pin 1
the third pot terminal connects to the wiper
the cable shield connects to the CW pot terminal
With this arrangement, speed will increase
as you turn the external pot clockwise.The
frequency range for the 200k ohm pot will be
600 to 5000 steps per second. The frequency
range for the 100k ohm pot will be900 to
5000 steps per second. The on board trimpots will still control acceleration and decleration times. Turning the pots clockwise makes
the acceleration and deceleration faster (i.e.
reduces the time to or from speed).
In some applications, step motors and drives are used with mechanical
switches only and there is no readily available source of +5 volts.
In these instances, the 12-35 VDC motor power supply can be used with additional dropping resistors to power the opto LEDs. The recommended wiring
diagram is shown on page 11. Table I lists the appropriate resistor value to
use for a given power supply voltage. 1/4 watt or larger resistors should be
used.
Please do not to reverse the wiring, as damage to the LEDs will result
rendering the drives inoperable. Check your wiring carefully before
turning on the power supply!
Using Mechanical Switches with 3535-O Drive
The 3535-O was designed to be used with active logic and for that reason are optically
isolated. To activate the optoisolators a small, but not insignicant amount of current at
+5 volts DC is required.
Choosing a Power Supply
To nd out how to choose a power supply refer to the tech notes on our website.
Mounting the Drive
To operate the drive continuously at maximum power you must properly mount it on
a heat sinking surface with a thermal constant of no more than 4°C/watt. Often, the
metal enclosure of your system will make an effective heat sink.
