2 Introduction
2.1DSM S-Series integrated motor and driver
The DSM S-Series high-torque integrated motor and driver is ideal for designers who want the
simplicity of a motor with on-board electronics. The DSM allows the system designer to decide
the best method of control. The drive’s integrated electronics eliminates the need to run the
motor cabling through the machine, reducing the potential for problems due to electrical noise.
The DSM is a small, powerful and inexpensive solution that will reduce system cost, design
and assembly time for a large range of stepping motor applications.
The DSM family use a NEMA17, NEMA23 or NEMA34 1.8° high torque motor combined with a
microstepping drive, and accept up to 14 resolution settings from 1/2 to 256 microsteps per
step. Setup parameters can be changed ‘on-the-fly’ or downloaded and stored in non-volatile
memory with the use of a simple user interface program which is provided, eliminating the
need for external switches or resistors. The versatile, compact DSM is available in multiple
configurations to fit various system needs.

3.1.2.4 Securing DSM cables
Some applications may require that the DSM moves with the axis motion. If this is a
requirement of your application, the motor leads must be properly anchored. Secure the flying
leads to the motor body using adhesive cable clamps. This will prevent flexing and tugging
which can cause damage at critical connection points in the DSM electronics.
Do not bundle the logic leads together with the DSM power leads.

4.1Introduction
This section describes the input and output connections of the DSM.
Logic level cables must not run parallel to power cables. Power cables will introduce noise into
the logic level cables and make the system unreliable. Logic level cables must be shielded to
reduce the chance of induced noise. The shield needs to be grounded at the signal source to
AC ground; the other end of the shield must not be connected. This allows the shield to act as
adrain.
Do not connect or disconnect any wiring when power is applied! Disconnect the
AC power side to power down the DC power supply. For battery operated

4.2Motor power input
The DSM requires an unregulated DC power supply. The power supply current will depend
upon voltage and load, but will not exceed 2 A (DSMS17 / DSMS23) or 4 A (DSMS34).

The maximum input voltage of the DSM includes motor back EMF, power supply
ripple and high line.
CAUTION
A characteristic of all motors is back EMF. Back EMF is a source of current that can push the
output of a power supply beyond the maximum operating voltage of the driver. As a result,
damage to the stepper driver could occur over a period of time. Care should be taken so that
the back EMF does not exceed the maximum input voltage rating of the DSM.
Cable length, wire gauge and power conditioning devices play a major role in the performance
of the DSM. The length of the DC power supply cable to a DSM should not exceed 15 m
(50 ft). If cabling of 15 m (50 ft) or longer is required, the additional length may be gained by
adding an AC power supply cable (see Figures 6 and 7). Power supply leads to the DSM need
to be twisted. If more than one DSM is to be connected to the same power supply, run
separate power and ground leads from the supply to each driver.

4.2.1 Wire sizes
Table 1 describes the wire sizes to provide optimal protection against EMI and RFI. Correct
wire size is determined by the current requirement and the cable length. The actual cable type,
wire gauge, shield type and filtering devices used are dependent on the customer’s application
and system. Always use shielded twisted pairs for AC and DC supply cables. For logic wiring
(see section 4.3) AWG22 wire is recommended.

4.3Logic inputs
The DSM has three optically isolated logic inputs. These inputs are isolated to minimize or
eliminate electrical noise coupled onto the drive control signals, and are over-voltage
protected. The inputs may be configured as either sinking inputs or sourcing inputs (model
dependent, see section 4.3.3), with the Optocoupler Reference (white) lead as the reference.
This allows the DSM to be interfaced to a variety of controllers.

Figure 8 - Opto-isolated digital input circuit (sinking only)
4.3.1 Logic input descriptions
4.3.1.1 Step clock (orange flying lead)
The step clock input is where the motion clock from the control circuitry will be connected. The
motor will advance one microstep in the plus or minus direction (based upon the state of the
direction input) on the step clock edge that causes the opto-isolator to be active. The size of
this increment or decrement will depend on the microstep resolution setting. The maximum
frequency on the step clock input is 2.0 MHz, with a minimum pulse width of 400 ns.
4.3.1.2 Direction (blue flying lead)
The direction input controls the CW/CCW direction of the motor. A logic high (default,
unconnected) will cause the motor to rotate in the CW direction (seen while looking at the face
of the motor). A logic low on the input will cause the motor to rotate in the CCW direction. This
input is synchronized to the positive going edge of the step clock input. The direction input
may be connected by means of a switch.
4.3.1.3 Enable (brown flying lead)
This input can be used to enable or disable the driver output circuitry. A logic high (when the
enable switch is open, see Figures 9 and 10), causes the driver outputs to be enabled and
step clock pulses will cause the motor to advance. A logic low (when the input switch is
4-4 Input / OutputMN1940
www.baldormotion.com
closed) will cause the driver output circuitry to be disabled. Note that the internal sine/cosine
position generator will continue to increment or decrement as long as step clock pulses are
being received by the DSM. The enable input is not synchronized to any other input and may
be changed at any time.
4.3.2 Input timing
The direction input and the microstep resolution inputs are internally synchronized to the
positive going edge of the step clock input. When a step clock transitions from low to high on
the positive going edge, the state of the direction input and microstep resolution settings are
latched. Any changes made to the direction and/or microstep resolution will occur on the rising
edge of the step clock pulse following this change. Run Current and Hold Current changes
are updated immediately (see section 5.2.2).
Input / Output 4-5MN1940
www.baldormotion.com
4.3.3 Sinking / sourcing input configuration
All DSMS17, 23 and 34 models can be wired to create sinking inputs, where a reference
voltage between +5 and +24 VDC is connected to the Optocoupler Reference (white) lead.
The isolated inputs are then interfaced to a sinking output (which utilizes the same supply as
the opto coupler reference input) such as a switch, open collector, or PLC output. T o maintain
isolation, the input power source should not be connected to the motor power source.

4.4SPI interface
DSM setup parameters are changed via an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) port. This port
uses a 10-pin IDC header, and connects to a USB port on your PC. The recommended
method of connecting the SPI port to the PC is by using parameter setup cable CBL055-501.
The PC requires a standard USB port.
The +5 VDC output on the SPI connector is used for the setup cable only. This
output is not designed to power external devices.

5.1Introduction
The motor interface is accessed through the Baldor SPI Interface software, which is an easy
to install and easy to use program used to set the DSM’s parameters. The Baldor SPI
Interface is included on the Baldor Motion Toolkit CD.
5.1.1 Connecting the DSM to the PC
The DSM is connected to the PC using a standard USB port. It is recommended to use the
optional CBL055-501 parameter setup cable (see section 4.4).
5.1.2 Installing the USB driver
When the parameter setup cable (CBL055-501) is connected to the PC, Windows XP will
automatically detect it and display the Found New Hardware Wizard. It is now necessary to
install the drivers, which are provided on the CD supplied with the cable. Alternatively, the driver
files can be downloaded from www.baldormotion.com/supportme
folder on the PC.
1. Choose the No, not this time option and click Next >.
2. Choose the Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) option and click Next >.
3. Check the Include this location in the search option. Click Browse and locate the drivers
folder on the CD. For downloaded files, locate the temporary folder containing the extracted
files. Click Next >.
4. When Windows finds the required driver files, a dialog will warn that they have not passed
‘Windows Logo testing’. This is normal for the parameter setup cable’s USB driver, so click
Continue Anyway to continue with the installation.
5. When the Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard message appears, click Finish.
After a few moments, the Found New Hardware Wizard will appear a second time, ready to
install the virtual COM port driver.
and placed in a temporary

5.1.3 Installing the virtual COM port driver
As soon as the USB driver has been installed, the PC starts to communicate with the parameter
setup cable’s interface. This immediately reveals the other part of the interface’s hardware, the
virtual communications port (VCP), which provides communication with the DSM motor. The
VCP also requires drivers to be installed, which is why the Found New Hardware Wizard appears
a second time.
1. Choose the No, not this time option and click Next >.
2. Choose the Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) option and click Next >.
3. Check the Include this location in the search option. The previously used location should
already be selected, but if not click Browse and locate the required folder. Click Next >.
Operation 5-1MN1940
www.baldormotion.com
4. When Windows finds the required VCP driver files, a dialog will warn that they have not
passed ‘Windows Logo testing’. This is normal for the parameter setup cable’s VCP driver,
so click Continue Anyway to continue with the installation.
5. When the Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard message appears, click Finish.
A final Found New Hardware message will appear on the task bar to inform you that the
hardware is now ready to use.
Note: If the MotiFlex e100 is later connected to a different USB port on the host computer,
Windows may report that it has found new hardware. Either install the driver files
again for the new USB port, or connect the MotiFlex e100 to the original USB port
where it will be recognized in the usual way.
5.1.4 Determining the virtual COM port number
The parameter setup cable’s virtual COM port appears as a normal COM (serial) port in
Windows, and is automatically allocated a COM port number. The Baldor SPI Interface software
normally auto-detects the motor regardless of the allocated COM port. If for any reason the
Baldor SPI Interface software fails to auto-detect the motor (section 5.2.1), it may be necessary
to manually select this COM port.
1. In Windows, right-click the My Computer icon and choose Properties.
2. Choose the Hardware tab and click Device Manager.
3. Expand the Ports (COM & LPT) item.
4. Look for the entry named Baldor USB to SPI ParameterSetup Cable (COM...). The value that
appears after COM is the port number. Make a note of this number.
5.1.5 Installing Baldor SPI Interface
You will need to install the Baldor SPI Interface software to configure the DSM.
1. Insert the CD into the drive.
2. After a few seconds the setup wizard should start automatically. If the setup wizard does not
appear, select Run... from the Windows Start menu and type
d:\Baldor_SPI_Interface.exe
where d represents the drive letter of the CD device.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. The setup Wizard will copy the files
to appropriate folders on the hard drive.

5.1.6 Starting the controller and DSM
If you have followed the instructions in the previous sections, you should have now connected
power sources, inputs and outputs, and the USB cable linking the PC with the DSM. Before
you apply power for the first time, it is very important to verify the following:
H Inspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and tightness.
H Verify that all wiring conforms to applicable codes.
H Check all signal wiring for accuracy.
1. Turn on the controller (e.g. NextMove ESB, if connected).
2. Turn on the motor power supply.

5.2Baldor SPI Interface
The Baldor SPI Interface is a simple application for configuring all aspects of the DSM.
5.2.1 Starting Baldor SPI Interface
On the Windows Start menu, select Programs, BALDOR SPI Interface, BALDOR SPI Interface.
The software will immediately try to establish communication with the DSM. If this step fails, the
word “Disconnected” will appear in red. Check that the DSM is powered and that the cable is
connected, then choose the Port menu item. Select the appropriate USB port from the list of
USB/Serial port options (this is the COM port number found in Windows Device Manager - see
sectio n 5.1.4).
5.2.2 Configuration parameters
These parameters may all be changed ‘on-the-fly’. To select different views, choose the View
menu item.
5.2.2.1 Motion settings view

Motor Run Current (MRC)
The Motor Run Current (MRC) parameter sets the motor run current to a percentage of the full
output current of the DSM driver section.
Hold Current Delay Time (HCDT)
The HCDT parameter sets the delay time between the last c lock pulse and the application of
the holding current.
Motor Hold Current (MHC)
The MHC parameter sets the motor hold current as a percentage of the full output current of
the driver. If the hold current is set to 0, the output circuitry of the driver section will disable
when the hold current setting becomes active. Following the last step clock pulse, the hold
current setting becomes active after the period specified by HCDT.
Direction Override (DIR)
The DIR parameter changes the motor direction relative to the direction input signal, adapting
the direction of the DSM to operate as your system requires.
Factory button
The Factory button resets each parameter in the software to factory default values. Click Set
to apply these values.
Recall! and Upgrade! menu options
The Recall! option uploads the existing parameter settings from the DSM.
The Upgrade! option (if present) must not be used! It currently has no purpose and will
erase the firmware on the DSM, leaving it inoperable. If you have accidentally selected the
Upgrade! option, please contact Baldor customer support.
Operation 5-5MN1940

5.2.2.2 I/O settings view
The I/O settings view shows two additional parameters for the DSM:
Clock Type
The Clock Type parameter configures the step and direction inputs for the type of input signals
being supplied to the motor.
H Step/Dir is the default setting. A waveform supplied to the step
input causes the motor to advance one step for each rising
edge. The direction input is held either high or low to determine
the direction of motion.
H Quadrature requires a pair of waveforms, such as those
typically produced by an incremental encoder. The two
waveforms are at the same frequency but approximately 90° out
of phase (i.e. ‘in quadrature’). One is supplied to the step input,
the other to the direction input. Each edge causes the motor to
Step
Dir
Step
(CHA)
Dir
(CHB)
advance one step, with the direction being determined by the
relative timing of the waveforms. For example, if the rising edge on the step input waveform
is received before the rising edge on the direction input waveform, the motor will turn in one
direction. If the rising edge on the direction input is received first, the motor will turn in the
opposite direction.
H Up / Down requires a waveform to be supplied to either the step
input or the direction input. If the waveform is supplied to the
Step
step input, the motor will turn in one direction. If the waveform
is supplied to the direction input, the motor will turn in the
Dir
opposite direction.
Clock IOF
The Clock IOF parameter sets the frequency of the clock input filter. Values in the range 50 ns
to 12.9 μs (10 MHz to 38.8 kHz) are available.
