The MDrive34Plus accepts a broad input voltage range from +12 to +75 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.
Standard features available in the MDrive34Plus Motion Control include four +5 to +24 volt general purpose I/O lines, one 10 bit analog input, 0 to 5MHz step clock rate, 20 microstep resolutions up to 51,200 steps per revo­lution, and full featured easy-to-program instruction set.
Expanded features in the MDrive34Plus2 version include eight +5 to +24 volt general purpose I/O lines and the capability of electronic gearing by following a rotary or linear axis at an elec­tronically controlled ratio, or an output clock can be generated fixed to the internal step clock.
All MDrive34Plus Motion Control are available with optional closed loop control. This increases functionality by adding stall detection, position maintenance and find index mark.
The closed loop configuration is added via a 512 line (2048 edge) magnetic encoder with index mark, internal to the unit so there is no increase in length. Or, for an expanded choice of line counts and resolutions with MDrive34Plus2 versions only, closed loop control is available with an interface to a remotely mounted user-supplied external encoder.
The MDrive communicates over RS-422/485 which allows for point-to-point or multiple unit configurations utilizing one communication port. Addressing and hardware support up to 62 uniquely addressed units communicating over a single line. Baud rate is selectable from 4.8 to 115.2kbps.
Available motor configurations include a single shaft rotary motor and a linear actuator with long life Acme screw*. Rotary versions are available in three motor lengths. Interface connections are accomplished using 12.0” (30.5cm) flying leads, or with pluggable locking wire crimp connectors for Plus2 versions only.
The MDrive34Plus is a compact, powerful and inexpensive solution that will reduce system cost, design and assem­bly time for a large range of brushless motor applications.

The power requirements for the MDrive34Plus Motion Control are:
Output Voltage .....................................................................................................+12 to +75 VDC
Current (max. per unit) ............................................................................................................... 4A
(Actual power supply current requirement will depend upon voltage and load)
Layout and Interface Guidelines
Logic level cables must not run parallel to power cables. Power cables will introduce noise into the logic level cables and make your system unreliable.
Logic level cables must be shielded to reduce the chance of EMI induced noise. The shield needs to be grounded at the signal source to earth. The other end of the shield must not be tied to anything, but allowed to float. This allows the shield to act as a drain.
Power supply leads to the MDrivePlus need to be twisted. If more than one driver is to be connected to the same power supply, run separate power and ground leads from the supply to each driver.

Securing Power Leads and Logic Lea ds
Some applications may require that the MDrive move with the axis motion. If this is a requirement of your application, the motor leads must be properly anchored. This will prevent flexing and tugging which can cause damage at critical con­nection points within the MDrive.

The MDrivePlus Motion Control can be operated in a 2 wire RS-485 communication bus. Before connecting the 2 wire RS-485, download your program and setup instructions using the standard 4 wire RS-422 Communications Cable. If a program is not being used, download and save any setup parameters. To ensure the MDrivePlus responds only to com­mands specifically meant for it, set the unit in Party Mode (Please see Party Mode below). The Echo Mode command (EM) must be set to the value of 1 (EM=1). This will set the MDrivePlus communication into “half duplex” mode. Con­nect the driver in the 2 wire RS-485 configuration. The following diagram illustrates how to connect the MDrivePlus 4 wire RS-485 to operate as a 2 wire system.
Figure 2.2.2: Half Duplex 2 Wire Communications (RS-485)

Interfacing Party Mode Communications
In systems with multiple controllers it is necessary to communicate with the control modules using party mode (PY=1). The MDrivePlus Motion Control nodes in the system are configured in software for this mode of operation by setting the Party Flag (PY) to True (1). It is necessary for all of the nodes in a system to have this configuration selected. When operating in party mode, each MDrive Motion Control in the system will need a unique address, or name, to identify it in the system. This is accomplished by using the software command DN, or Device Name. For example, to set the name of an MDrive to “A” you would use the following command: DN=65 or DN=”A” (65 is the ASCII decimal equivalent of uppercase A). The factory default name is “!”. The asterisk character “*” is used to issue global commands to every device in the system. NOTE: When using the asterisk “*” in Party Mode, typed entries and commands will not be echoed. See Appendix A of the Software Reference for ASCII table.
In setting up your system for party operation, the most practical approach is to observe the following steps:
1. Connect the first MDrivePlus Motion Control to the Host PC configured for Single Mode Operation.
2. Establish communications and download program if required.
3.
Using the command DN, name the MDrivePlus Motion Control. This can be any upper or lower case ASCII character or number 0-9. (DN=”A”{enter}) (Note: The quotation marks before and after the device name are required.)
4. Set the party flag PY=1{enter}.
5. Press CTRL+J to activate the Party Mode.
6. Type the letters AS and press CTRL+J (Save device name and Party Mode).
7. Remove power.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for each additional MDrive in the system.
9. After all MDrives are assigned a Device Name the Multiple MDrive Interface can be configured as shown in the following figure.

Data Cable lengths greater than 15 feet (4.5 meters) are susceptible to signal reflection and/or noise. IMS recommends 120 Ω termination resistors in series with 0.1µf capacitors at both ends of the Data Cables. An example of resistor place­ment is shown in Figure 2.2.3 above. For systems with Data Cables 15 feet (4.5 meters) or less, the termination resistors are generally not required.
MDrivePlus Motion Control Communication For mat
The following communication formats are used by the MDrive34Plus Motion Control.
{} The contents between the {} symbols are transmitted. {0D} Hex equivalent for a CR (Carriage Return). {0A} Hex equivalent for a LF (Line Feed). {DN} Represents the Device Name being sent. {CS} Check Sum; {ACK} 06 Hex; {NAK} 15 Hex
EM = Echo Mode; PY = PartY Mode; CK= ChecK sum
The word {command} represents the immediate command sent to the MDI.
Command Execution Time (CET) is the time the MDI takes to execute a command. This varies from command to com­mand and usually is in the 1-5 millisecond range.
MDrivePlus Motion Control (MDI) Response to Echo Mode
Dependent on how the Echo Mode (EM) is set in conjunction with Party Mode (PY) and Check Sum (CK), the MDI will respond differently. The following tables illustrate the various responses based on how the EM, PY and CK param­eters are set.

Using Check Sum
For communication using Check Sum, the following 2 commands demonstrate sending and receiving.
Sending Command
1. Check Sum set to ZERO before first character is sent.
2. All characters (ASCII values) are added to Check Sum, including the Device Name DN (if PY=1), to the end of the command, but not including terminator.
3. Check Sum is 2’s complement, then “OR” ed with Hex 80 (prevents Check Sum from being seen as Command Terminator).
4. Terminator Sent.
Example command:
MR (space) 1 Note: Any combination of upper/lower case may be used. In this example,
if a lower case <mr> were to be used, the decimal values will change to 109 and 114. Subsequently the Result Check Su m v a l ue wi l l c h a nge. (Po s s ible e n t r i e s : MR, m r, Mr, m R.) ( M = 7 7 , R = 8 2 , m =
109, r = 114) (See ASCII table appendix in MDI Software Manual.) 77 82 32 49 Decimal value of M, R, <space> and 1 4D 52 20 31 Hex 77+82+32+49 = 240 Add decimal values together 1111 0000 = 240 Change 240 decimal to binary 0000 1111 1’s complement (invert binary) 0001 0000 Add 1 [2’s complement] 1000 0000 OR result with 128 (Hex 80) 1001 0000 144 Result Check Sum value
Once the result is reached, add the check Sum value (144 in this example) to your string by typing: MR 1(Alt Key +
0144) (Use the symbol of 0144 in your string by holding down the alt key and typing 0144). You must type the numbers from the Numlock key pad to the right of the keyboard. The numbers at the top of the keyboard will not work.
Receiving Command
1. Check Sum set to ZERO.
2. All characters are added to Check Sum.
3. When receiving a Command Terminator, the lower 7 bits of the Check Sum should be equal to ZERO.
a) If not ZERO, the command is ignored and NAK echoed.
b) If ZERO, ACK is sent instead of CR/LF pair.
4. Responses to PR commands will be Check Summed as above, but the receiving device should NOT respond with ACK or NAK.

Interfacing and Using the MDrivePlus Motion Control I/O
The MDrivePlus Motion Control Digital I/O
The MDrivePlus Motion Control product line is available with two digital I/O configurations, Standard and Enhanced.
The digital I/O may be defined as either active HIGH or active LOW. When the I/O is configured as active HIGH, the level is +5 to +24 VDC and the state will be read/set as a “1”. If the level is 0 VDC, then the state will be read/set as “0”. Inversely, if configured as active LOW, then the state of the I/O will be read/set as a “1” when the level is LOW, and “0” when the level is HIGH. The active HIGH/LOW state is configured by the third parameter of the I/O Setup (S1-4, S9-12) variable. The goal of this I/O configuration scheme is to maximize compatibility between the MDrivePlus Motion Control and standard sensors and switches.

The MDrivePlus2 Motion Control is equipped with a set of eight I/O — (8) sinking or sourcing 0 to +24 VDC inputs or (8) sinking or sourcing +12 to +24 VDC outputs, which may be programmed individually as either general purpose or dedicated inputs or outputs, or collectively as a group. The eight I/O consist of two separate banks of four points:
Figure 2.3.1: Uses for the Digital I/O
Bank 1: IO1 - IO4, Bank 2: IO9 - IO12.
Uses of the Digital I/O
The I/O may be utilized to receive input from external devices such as sensors, switches or PLC outputs. When con­figured as outputs, devices such as relays, solenoids, LEDs and PLC inputs may be controlled from the MDrivePlus

Motion Control.
Each I/O point may be individually programmed to any one of 9 dedicated input functions, 4 dedicated output functions, or as general purpose inputs or outputs. The I/O may be addressed individually, or as a group. The active state of the line or group may also be set. All of these possible functions are accomplished with the I/O Setup Variable (S1-4, S9-12)
When the level is HIGH. The active HIGH/LOW state is configured by the second parameter of the I/O Setup (S1-4, S9-12) variable. The goal of this I/O configuration scheme is to maximize compatibility between the MDrivePlus Motion Control and standard sensors and switches.
MDrivePlus Motion Control Digital Input Functions
The MDrivePlus Motion Control inputs may be interfaced to a variety of sinking or sourcing devices. An input may be pro­grammed to be a general purpose user input, or to one of nine dedicated input functions. These may then be programmed to have an active state of either HIGH or LOW.
The inputs are configured using the “S” Variable (See MDrive Motion Control Sofware Reference Manual for precise de­tails on this command). The command is entered into the IMS terminal or program file as S<IO point>=<IO Type>,<Active State><Sink/Source>.
Example:
S9=3,1,0 ‘set IO point 9 to be a Limit- input, Active HIGH, Sourcing S3=0,0,1 ‘set IO Point 3 to be a General Purpose input, Active LOW, ‘Sinking

The outputs are set using the “S” comand (See MDrive Motion Control Sofware Reference Manual for precise details on this command). The command is entered into the IMS terminal or program file as S<IO point>=<IO Type>,<Active State><Sink/Source>.
Example:
S9=17,1,0 ‘set IO point 9 to be a Moving Output, Active HIGH, Sinking S3=18,0,0 ‘set IO Point 3 to be a Fault Output, Active LOW, Sinking
Programmable Output Functions
The MDrivePlus Motion Control Output functions may be programmed to be a general purpose user output or to one of five output functions.

Input: S<7-8>=35, <active state> Output: S<7-8>=51,<active state>
Step/Dir ection/Clock I/O
These dedicated I/O lines are used to receive clock inputs from an external device or provide clock outputs to an exter­nal device such as a counter or a second MDrivePlus in a system. The Clock I/O can be configured as one of three clock types us­ing the S7 and S8 variable:
1. Step/Direction
2. Quadrature
3. Up/Down
Step/Direction
The Step/Direction function would typically be used to receive step and direction instructions from a second system MDrivePlus or secondary controller. When configured as outputs the MDrivePlus Motion Control can provide step and direction control to another system drive for electronic gearing applications.
NOTE: Advanced I/O interface circuit
diagrams and application examples are available in Appendix D: I/O Application Guide.
NOTE: When using
the MDrivePlus2
with the external
encoder option, the step an direction I/O are not available! These I/O points become Index + and Index -. See Appendix E: MDrivePlus Motion Control Closed Loop Control for encoder
connection and conguration
information.
Quadrature
The Quadrature clock function would typically be used for following applications where the MDrivePlus would either be a master or slave in an application that would require two MDrives to move the same distance and speed.
Up/Down
The Up/Down clock would typically be used in a dual-clock direction control application, or to increment/decrement an external counter.
Capture/Trip
The Capture Input/Trip Output point is a high speed I/O point which can be used for time critical events in motion applications.
Capture Input
When configured as a capture input I/O point 13 has programmable filtering with a range of 50nS to 12.9 µS and has a resolution of 32 bits.
To configure the Capture input
S13=60,<0/1> ‘configure IO13 as a capture input, <active HIGH/LOW> FC <0-9> ‘set input filtering to <range>
Trip Output
When configured as a trip output I/O 13 trip speed is 150 nS with 32 bit resolution.
To configure the Trip output
S13=61,<0/1> ‘configure IO13 as a trip output, <active HIGH/LOW>

The analog input of the MDrivePlus Motion Control is configured from the factory as a 0 to 5V, 10 bit resolu­tion input (S5=9). This offers the user the ability to receive input from temperature, pressure, or other forms of sensors, and then control events based upon the input.
The value of this input will be read using the I5 instruction, which has a range of 0 to 1023, where 0 = 0 volts and 1024 = 5.0 volts. The MDrivePlus Motion Control may also be configured for a 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA Analog Input (S5 = 10).

Cable length, wire gauge and power conditioning devices play a major role in the performance of your MDrive.
Example A demonstrates the recommended cable configuration for DC power supply cabling under 50 feet long. If cabling of 50 feet or longer is required, the additional length may be gained by adding an AC power supply cable (see Examples B & C).
Correct AWG wire size is determined by the current requirement plus cable length. Please see the MDrive Sup­ply Cable AWG Table at the end of this Appendix.

Planetary Gearboxes
Section Overview
This section contains guidelines and specifications for MDrives equipped with an optional Planetary Gearbox, and may include product sizes not relevant to this manual.
Shown are:
 Product Overview
 Selecting a Planetary Gearbox
 Mechanical Specications
Product Overview
All gearboxes are factory installed.
Mode of Function
Optional Planetary Gearbox operate as their name implies: the motor-driven sun wheel is in the center, transmitting its movement to three circumferential planet gears which form one stage. They are arranged on the bearing pins of a planet carrier. The last planet carrier in each sequence is rigidly linked to the out­put shaft and so ensures the power transmission to the output shaft. The planet gears run in an internally toothed outer ring gear.
Service Life
Depending on ambient and environmental conditions and the operational specification of the driving system, the useful service life of a Planetary Gerabox is up to 10,000 hours. The wide variety of potential applications prohibits generalizing values for the useful service life.
Lubrication
All Planetary Gearbox are grease-packed and therefore maintenance-free throughout their life. The best possible lubricant is used for our MDrive/Planetary Gearbox combinations.
Mounting Position
The grease lubrication and the different sealing modes allow the Planetary Gearbox to be installed in any position.
Operating Temperature
The temperature range for the Planetary Gearbox is between –30 and +140° C. However, the temperature range recommended for the Heat Sink of the MDrive is 0 to +85º C.
Overload Torque
The permitted overload torque (shock load) is defined as a short-term increase in output torque, e.g. dur­ing the start-up of a motor. In these all-metal Planetary Gearbox, the overload torque can be as much as
1.5 times the permitted output torque.
Available Planetary Gearbox
The following lists available Planetary Gearbox, diameter and corresponding MDrive.

Selecting a Planetary Gearbox
There are many variables and parameters that must be considered when choosing an appropriate reduction ratio for an MDrive with Planetary Greabox. This Addendum includes information to assist in determining a
suitable combination for your application.
MDrive34Plus Motion Control Hardware Manual Revision R080106
Calculating the Shock Load Output Torque (TAB)
Note: The following examples are based on picking “temporary variables” which may be adjusted.
The shock load output torque (TAB) is not the actual torque generated by the MDrive and Planetary Gearbox combination, but is a calculated value that includes an operating factor (CB) to compensate for any shock loads applied to the Planetary Gearbox due to starting and stopping with no acceleration ramps, payloads and directional changes. The main reason the shock load output torque (TAB) is calculated is to ensure that it does not exceed the maximum specified torque for a Planetary Gearbox.
Note: There are many variables that affect the calculation of the shock load output torque. Motor speed, motor voltage, motor torque and reduction ratio play an important role in determining shock load output torque. Some variables must be approximated to perform the calculations for the first time. If the result does not meet your requirements, change the variables and re-calculate the shock load output torque.
Use the equation compendium below to calculate the shock load output torque.
Factors
i = Reduction Ratio - The ratio of the Planetary Gearbox.
nM = Motor Speed - In Revolutions Per Minute (Full Steps/Second).
nAB = Output Speed - The speed at the output shaft of the Planetary Gearbox.
TN = Nominal Output Torque - The output torque at the output shaft of the Planetary
Gearbox.
TM = Motor Torque - The base MDrive torque. Refer to MDrive Speed Torque Tables.
η = Gear Efficiency - A value factored into the calculation to allow for any friction in the
gears.
TAB = Shock Load Output Torque - A torque value calculated to allow for short term loads
greater than the nominal output torque.
CB = Operating Factor - A value that is used to factor the shock load output torque.
sf = Safety Factor - A 0.5 to 0.7 factor used to create a margin for the MDrive torque
requirement.
Note: The MDrive23 and the numbers and
values used in these examples have been chosen randomly for demonstration purposes. Be certain you obtain the correct data for the MDrive you have purchased.
Reduction Ratio
Reduction ratio (i) is used to reduce a relatively high motor speed (nM) to a lower output speed (nAB).
With: i = nM ÷ n
or: motor speed ÷ output speed = reduction ratio
AB
Example:
The required speed at the output shaft of the Planetary Gearbox is 90 RPM.
You would divide motor speed (nM) by output speed (nAB) to calculate the proper gearbox ratio.
The MDrive speed you would like to run is approximately 2000 full steps/second or 600 RPM.
NOTE: In reference to the MDrive speed values, they are given in full steps/second on the Speed/Torque Tables. Most speed specifications for the Planetary Gearbox will be given in RPM (revolutions per min­ute). To convert full steps/second to RPM, divide by 200 and multiply by 60.
Where: 200 is the full steps per revolution of a 1.8° stepping motor.
2000 full steps/second
÷ 200 = 10 RPS (revolutions per second) × 60 Seconds = 600 RPM
For the Reduction Ratio (i), divide the MDrive speed by the required Planetary Gearbox output speed.
600 RPM
÷ 90 = 6.67:1 Reduction Ratio
Referring to the Available Ratio Table at the end of this section, the reduction ratio (i) of the Planetary Gearbox will be 7:1. The numbers in the left column are the rounded ratios while the numbers in the right column are the actual ratios. The closest actual ratio is 6.75:1 which is the rounded ratio of 7:1. The slight difference can be made up in MDrive speed.

Calculate the nominal output torque using the torque values from the MDrive’s Speed/Torque Tables.
Nominal output torque (TN) is the actual torque generated at the Planetary Gearbox output shaft which includes reduction ratio (i), gear efficiency (η) and the safety factor (sf) for the MDrive. Once the reduction ratio (i) is determined, the nominal output torque (TN) can be calculated as follows:
T
Motor torque
= TM × i × η÷ sf or:
N
× reduction ratio × gear efficiency ÷ safety factor = nominal output torque.
For gear efficiency (η) refer to the Mechanical Specifications for the 7:1 Planetary Gearbox designed for your MDrive.
For motor torque (T
) see the appropriate MDrive Speed/Torque Table. Dependent on which
M
MDrive you have, the torque range will vary. The torque will fall between the high voltage line and the low voltage line at the indicated speed for the MDrive. (See the example Speed/Torque Table below.)
A-8
Figure C.1: MDrive23 Torque-Speed Curve
The Speed/Torque Table above is for an MDrive23 Double Size This MDrive will produce a torque range of 51 to 95 oz-in in the full voltage range at the speed of 2000 Full Steps/Second (600 RPM).
Please note that this is not the usable torque range. The torque output to the Planetary Gearbox must include a safety factor (sf) to allow for any voltage and current deviations supplied to the MDrive.
The motor torque must include a safety factor (sf) ranging from 0.5 to 0.7. This must be factored into the nominal output torque calculation. A 0.5 safety factor is aggressive while a 0.7 safety factor is more conser­vative.
Example:
The available motor torque (T
) is 51 to 95 oz-in.
M
NOTE: You may specify a torque less than but not greater than the motor torque range.
For this example the motor torque (T
) will be 35 oz-in.
M
A 6.75:1 reduction ratio (i) has been determined.
Gear efficiency (
η) = 80% from the appropriate table for the Planetary Gearbox which is used
with an MDrive23.
Nominal output torque would be:
Motor torque (T
= 35) × reduction ratio (i = 6.75) ×gear efficiency (η = 0.8) ÷ safety factor (sf
M
= 0.5 or 0.7)
35
× 6.75 = 236.25 × 0.8 = 189 ÷ 0.5 = 378 oz-in nominal output torque (TN)
or
35
× 6.75 = 236.25 × 0.8 = 189 ÷ 0.7 = 270 oz-in nominal output torque (TN)
With the safety factor (sf) and gear efficiency (η) included in the calculation, the nominal output torque (TN) may be greater than the user requirement.

The nominal output torque (TN) is the actual working torque the Planetary Gearbox will generate. The shock load output torque (TAB) is the additional torque that can be generated by starting and stopping with no acceleration ramps, payloads, inertia and directional changes. Although the nominal output torque (TN) of the Planetary Gearbox is accurately calculated, shock loads can greatly increase the dy­namic torque on the Planetary Gearbox.
Each Planetary Gearbox has a maximum specified output torque. In this example a 7:1 single stage MD23 Planetary Gearbox is being used. The maximum specified output torque is 566 oz-in. By calculat­ing the shock load output torque (TAB) you can verify that value is not exceeding the maximum specified output torque.
When calculating the shock load output torque (TAB), the calculated nominal output torque (TN) and the operating factor (CB) are taken into account. CB is merely a factor which addresses the different working conditions of a Planetary Gearbox and is the result of your subjective appraisal. It is therefore only meant as a guide value. The following factors are included in the approximate estimation of the operating factor (CB):
 Direction of rotation (constant or alternating)
 Load (shocks)
 Daily operating time
Note: The higher the operating factor (CB), the closer the shock load output torque (TAB) will be to the maximum specified output torque for the Planetary Gearbox. Refer to the table below to calculate the approximate operating factor (CB).
With the most extreme conditions which would be a CB of 1.9, the shock load output torque (TAB) is over the maximum specified torque of the Planetary Gearbox with a 0.5 safety factor but under with a 0.7 safety factor.
The nominal output torque (TN) × the operating factor (CB) = shock load or maximum output torque (TAB).
With a 0.5 safety factor, the shock load output torque is greater than the maximum output torque specifi­cation of the MDrive23 Planetary Gearbox.
(378 × 1.9 = 718.2 oz-in.)
With a 0.7 safety factor the shock load output torque is within maximum output torque specification of the MDrive23 Planetary Gearbox.
(270
× 1.9 = 513 oz-in.)
The 0.5 safety factor could only be used with a lower operating factor (CB) such as 1.5 or less, or a lower motor torque.
Note: All published torque specifications are based on CB = 1.0. Therefore, the shock load output torque (TAB) = nominal output torque (TN).
WARNING! Excessive torque may damage your Planetary Gearbox. If the MDrive/Planetary Gearbox should hit an obstruction, especially at lower speeds (300 RPM or 1000 Full Steps/Second), the torque generated will exceed the maximum torque for the Planetary Gearbox. Precautions must be taken to ensure there are no obstructions in the system.
* Low Shock = Motor turns in one direction and has ramp up at start. ** Medium Shock = Motor turns in one direction and has no ramp up at start. † Low Shock = Motor turns in both directions and has ramp up at start. †† Medium Shock = Motor turns in both directions and has no ramp up at start.

System inertia must be included in the selection of an MDrive and Planetary Gearbox. Inertia is the resistance an object has relative to changes in velocity. Inertia must be calculated and matched to the motor inertia. The Planetary Gearbox ratio plays an important role in matching system inertia to motor inertia. There are many variable factors that affect the inertia. Some of these factors are:
 The type of system being driven.
 Weight and frictional forces of that system.
 The load the system is moving or carrying.
The ratio of the system inertia to motor inertia should be between 1:1 and 10:1. With 1:1 being ideal, a 1:1 to 5:1 ratio is good while a ratio greater than 5:1 and up to 10:1 is the maximum.
Type of System
There are many systems and drives, from simple to complex, which react differently and possess varied amounts of inertia. All of the moving components of a given system will have some inertia factor which must be included in the total inertia calculation. Some of these systems include:
Lead screw
Rack and pinion
Conveyor belt
Rotary table
Belt drive
Chain drive
Not only must the inertia of the system be calculated, but also any load that it may be moving or carrying. The examples below illustrate some of the factors that must be considered when calculating the inertia of a system.
Lead Screw

Once the system inertia (JL) has been calculated in oz-in-sec2, it can be matched to the motor inertia. To match the system inertia to the motor inertia, divide the system inertia by the square of the gearbox ratio. The result is called Reflected Inertia or (J

The ideal situation would be to have a 1:1 system inertia to motor inertia ratio. This will yield the best positioning and accuracy. The reflected inertia (J

Planetary Gearbox Inertia Moments (oz-in-sec2)
In addition to System Inertia, the Planetary Gearbox inertia must also be included when matching system inertia to motor inertia. The Planetary Gearbox inertia varies with the ratio and the number of stages. The table below lists the inertia values for the MDrive14, 17, 23 and 34 Planetary Gearbox. The values are in oz-in-sec2 (ounce-inches-second squared). To calculate the inertia in kg-cm2 (kilograms-centimeter squared) multiply oz-in-sec2 by 70.6154.

Determining the V irtual COM Port (VCP)
The MD-CC40x-000 uses a Virtual COM Port to communicate through the USB port to the MDrive. A VCP is a software driven serial port which emulates a hardware port in Windows.
The drivers for the MD-CC40x-000 will automatically assign a VCP to the device during installation. The VCP port number will be needed when IMS Terminal is set up in order that IMS Terminal will know where to find and communicate with your IMS Product.
To locate the Virtual COM Port.
1) Right-Click the “My Computer” Icon and select “Properties”.
2) Browse to the Hardware Tab (Figure F.9), Click the Button labeled “Device Manager”.
3) Look in the heading “Ports (COM & LPT)” IMS USB to RS422 Converter Cable (COMx) will be listed (Figure F.10). The COM # will be the Virtual COM Port connected. You will enter this number into your IMS Terminal Configuration.
