Product Introduction
Introduction
The Motion Control MForce MicroDrive offers system designers a low cost, intelligent motion controller integrated with a +12 to +48 volt/2A RMS Output Current microstep­ping drive and Motion Controller.
The unsurpassed smoothness and performance delivered by the Motion Control MForce MicroDrive are achieved through IMS's advanced 2nd generation current control. By applying innovative techniques to control current flow through the motor, resonance is significantly dampened over the entire speed range and audible noise is reduced.
The MForce MicroDrive accepts 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.
Standard features available in the MForce MicroDrive 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 MForce MicroDrive Plus2 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.
MForce MicroDrive Plus2 models are available with optional closed loop control. This increases functionality by adding stall detection, position maintenance and find index mark. The closed loop configuration offers an expanded choice of line counts and resolutions by interfacing to a remotely mounted user-supplied external encoder.
The Motion Control MForce MicroDrive communicate 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.
Power and signal interface connections are accomplished using 12.0” (30.5cm) flying leads or a 7 position terminal strip. Plus2 versions interface using a pluggable locking wire crimp connector. Motor phases are connected via a pluggable 4-pin locking wire crimp connector.
The MForce MicroDrive is a compact, powerful and inexpensive solution that will reduce system cost, design and assembly time for a large range of applications.

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 MForce MicroDrive 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.

Motor Sizing and Selection
Selecting a Motor
When selecting a stepper motor for your application, there are several factors that need to be taken into consideration:
How will the motor be coupled to the load?How much torque is required to move the load?How fast does the load need to move or accelerate?What degree of accuracy is required when positioning the load?
While determining the answers to these and other questions is beyond the scope of this document, they are details that you must know in order to select a motor that is appropriate for your application. These details will affect everything from the power supply voltage to the type and wiring configuration of your stepper motor. The current and microstep­ping settings of your MForce MicroDrive will also be affected.
Types and Construction of Stepping Motors
The stepping motor, while classed as a DC motor, is actually an AC motor that is operated by trains of pulses. Although it is called a “stepping motor”, it is in reality a polyphase synchronous motor. This means it has multiple phases wound in the stator and the rotor is dragged along in synchronism with the rotating magnetic field. The MForce MicroDrive is designed to work with the following types of stepping motors:
1) Permanent Magnet (PM)
2) Hybrid Stepping Motors
Hybrid stepping motors combine the features of the PM stepping motors with the features of another type of stepping motor called a variable reluctance motor (VR). VR motors are low torque and load capacity motors which are typically used in instrumentation. The MForce MicroDrive cannot be used with VR motors as they have no permanent magnet.
On hybrid motors, the phases are wound on toothed segments of the stator assembly. The rotor consists of a permanent magnet with a toothed outer surface which allows precision motion accurate to within ± 3 percent. Hybrid stepping mo­tors are available with step angles varying from 0.45° to 15° with 1.8° being the most commonly used. Torque capacity in hybrid steppers ranges from 5 - 8000 ounce-inches. Because of their smaller step angles, hybrid motors have a higher degree of suitability in applications where precise load positioning and smooth motion is required.
Sizing a Motor for Your System
The MForce MicroDrive is a bipolar driver which works equally well with both bipolar and unipolar motors (i.e. 8 and 4 lead motors, and 6 lead center tapped motors).
To maintain a given set motor current, the MForce MicroDrive chops the voltage using a variable chopping frequency and a varying duty cycle. Duty cycles that exceed 50% can cause unstable chopping. This characteristic is directly related to the motor’s winding inductance. In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to choose a motor with a low winding inductance. The lower the winding inductance, the higher the step rate possible.
Winding Inductance
Since the MForce MicroDrive is a constant current source, it is not necessary to use a motor that is rated at the same voltage as the supply voltage. What is important is that the MForce MicroDrive is set to the motor’s rated current.
The higher the voltage used the faster the current can flow through the motor windings. This in turn means a higher step rate, or motor speed. Care should be taken not to exceed the maximum voltage of the driver. Therefore, in choos­ing a motor for a system design, the best performance for a specified torque is a motor with the lowest possible winding inductance used in conjunction with highest possible driver voltage.
The winding inductance will determine the motor type and wiring configuration best suited for your system. While the equation used to size a motor for your system is quite simple, several factors fall into play at this point.
The winding inductance of a motor is rated in milliHenrys (mH) per Phase. The amount of inductance will depend on
the wiring configuration of the motor.
The per phase winding inductance specified may be different than the per phase inductance seen by your MForce Micro­Drive driver depending on the wiring configuration used. Your calculations must allow for the actual inductance that the driver will see based upon the wiring configuration.

Figure 2.2.1 A & B: Per Phase Winding Inductance
Figure 2.2.1A shows a stepper motor in a series configuration. In this configuration, the per phase inductance will be 4 times that specified. For example: a stepping motor has a specified per phase inductance of 1.47mH. In this configura­tion the driver will see 5.88 mH per phase.
Figure 2.2.1B shows an 8 lead motor wired in parallel. Using this configuration the per phase inductance seen by the driver will be as specified.
Maximum Motor Inductance (mH per Phase) =
.2 X Minimum Supply Voltage
Using the following equation we will show an example of sizing a motor for an MForce MicroDrive used with an un­regulated power supply with a minimum voltage (+V) of 18 VDC:
.2 X 18 = 3.6 mH
The recommended per phase winding inductance we can use is 3.6 mH.
Recommended IMS Motors
IMS also carries a series of 14, 17 and 23 frame enhanced stepping motors that are recommended for use with the MForce MicroDrive. These motors use a unique relationship between the rotor and stator to generate more torque per frame size while ensuring more precise positioning and increased accuracy.
The special design allows the motors to provide higher torque than standard stepping motors while maintaining a steadier torque and reducing torque drop-off.
These CE rated motors are ideal for applications where higher torque is required.
For more detailed information on these motors, please see the IMS Full Line catalog or the IMS web site at http://www. imshome.com.

IMS Inside Out Stepper Motors
The new inside out stepper (IOS) motor was designed by IMS to bring versatility to stepper motors using a unique multi­functional, hollow core design.
This versatile new motor can be converted to a ball screw linear actuator by mounting a miniature ball screw to the front shaft face. Ball screw linear actuators offer long life, high efficiency, and can be field retrofitted. There is no need to throw the motor away due to wear of the nut or screw.
The IOS motors offer the following features:
The shaft face diameter offers a wide choice of threaded hole patterns for coupling.The IOS motor can be direct coupled in applications within the torque range of the motor,
eliminating couplings and increasing system efciency.
The IOS motor can replace gearboxes in applications where gearboxes are used for inertia
damping between the motor and the load. The induced backlash from the gearbox is eliminated providing improved bidirectional position accuracy.
Electrical or pneumatic lines can be directed through the center of the motor enabling the motors
to be stacked end-to-end or applied in robotic end effector applications. The through hole is stationary, preventing cables from being chaffed by a moving hollow shaft.
Light beams can be directed through the motor for refraction by a mirror or lter wheel mounted
on the shaft mounting face.
The IOS motor is adaptable to valves enabling the valve stem to protrude above the motor frame.
The stem can be retrotted with a dial indicator showing valve position.
The motor is compatible with IMS bipolar drivers, keeping the system cost low.The IOS motor can operate up to 3000 rpm’s.
The IOS motor is available in the following frames:

As with the power supply wiring, motor wiring should be run separately from logic wiring to minimize noise coupled onto the logic signals.

8 Lead Motors
8 lead motors offer a high degree of flexibility to the system designer in that they may be connected in series or parallel, thus satisfying a wide range of applications.
Series Connection
A series motor configuration would typically be used in applications where a higher torque at lower speeds is re­quired. Because this configuration has the most inductance, the performance will start to degrade at higher speeds. Use the per phase (or unipolar) current rating as the peak output current, or multiply the bipolar current rating by
1.4 to determine the peak output current.
Figure 2.2.2: 8 Lead Motor Series Connections
Parallel Connection
An 8 lead motor in a parallel configuration offers a more stable, but lower torque at lower speeds. But because of the lower inductance, there will be higher torque at higher speeds. Multiply the per phase (or unipolar) current rating by
1.96, or the bipolar current rating by 1.4, to determine the peak output current.

6 Lead Motors
Like 8 lead stepping motors, 6 lead motors have two configurations available for high speed or high torque opera­tion. The higher speed configuration, or half coil, is so described because it uses one half of the motor’s inductor windings. The higher torque configuration, or full coil, uses the full windings of the phases.
Half Coil Configuration
As previously stated, the half coil configuration uses 50% of the motor phase windings. This gives lower inductance, hence, lower torque output. Like the parallel connection of 8 lead motor, the torque output will be more stable at higher speeds. This configuration is also referred to as half copper. In setting the driver output current multiply the specified per phase (or unipolar) current rating by 1.4 to determine the peak output current.
Full Coil Configuration
Figure 2.2.4: 6 Lead Half Coil (Higher Speed) Motor Connections
The full coil configuration on a six lead motor should be used in applications where higher torque at lower speeds is desired. This configuration is also referred to as full copper. Use the per phase (or unipolar) current rating as the peak output current.

The MForce MicroDrive 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 MForce MicroDrive 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 MForce MicroDrive communication into “half duplex” mode. Connect the driver in the 2 wire RS-485 configuration. The following diagram illustrates how to connect the MForce MicroDrive 4 wire RS-485 to operate as a 2 wire system.
Figure 2.3.2: 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 MForce MicroDrive 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 MForce 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 MForce 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 MForce MicroDrive to the Host PC configured for Single Mode Operation.
2. Establish communications and download program if required.
3.
Using the command DN, name the MForce MicroDrive. 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 MForce in the system.
9. After all MForce MicroDrives are assigned a Device Name, the Multiple MForce Interface can be configured as shown in the following figure.
Data Cable Termination Resist ors
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 2.3.3. For systems with Data Cables 15 feet (4.5 meters) or less, the termination resistors are generally not required.

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 va l ue w ill cha n ge. (Po ss i b le e nt r i es: MR, mr, Mr, m R .) ( M = 77, R = 8 2, m = 109, r = 114) (See ASCII table appendix in MForce MicroDrive 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 MForce MicroDrive I/O
The MForce MicroDrive Digital I/O
The MForce MicroDrive 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 MForce MicroDrive and standard sensors and switches.
Standard ................................................................................ All MForce MicroDrive

Standar d I/O Set
The MForce MicroDrive comes standard with a set of four I/O — (4) sinking or sourcing 0 to +24 VDC inputs or (4) sinking 0 to +24 VDC outputs, which may be programmed individually as either general purpose or dedicated inputs or outputs, or collectively as a group.
Enhanced I/O Set - MForce MicroDrive Plus2 Version
The MForce MicroDrive Plus2 Version 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: 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 MForce MicroDrive.
2-20
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)

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 MForce MicroDrive and standard sensors and switches.
MForce MicroDrive Digital Input Functions
The MForce MicroDrive 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 MCode Software 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 Expanded MForce Plus2 models add the functionality of either an additional 4 I/O points or an optional interface for a user-defined remote encoder. Additionally, the I/O points, when configured as outputs have the added functionality of being configured as sinking or sourcing outputs.
The circuit examples below illustrate possible interface examples for using the Expanded Digital I/O. Addi­tional diagrams and code samples are available in the I/O Applications Guide appendix.
The code samples included with these examples will also serve to introduce the user to the MCode program­ming language that is used to operate and program the MForce. Please reference the MCode Programming and Software Reference manual for more information on the Instructions, Variables and Flags that make up the MCode command set as well as material on setting up and using the IMS Terminal.

Step/Direction/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 MForce MicroDrive 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 MForce or secondary controller. When configured as outputs the MForce can provide step and direction control to another system drive for electronic gearing applications.
Quadrature
The Quadrature clock function would typically be used for following applications where
Figure 2.4.13: MForce MicroDrive Clock Functions
the MForce would either be a master or slave in an application that would require two MForce MicroDrives 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.
NOTE: Advanced I/O interface circuit

The analog input of the MForce MicroDrive 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 MForce MicroDrive may also be configured for a 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA Analog Input (S5 = 10).

Recommended Power and Cable Configurations
Cable length, wire gauge and power conditioning devices play a major role in the performance of your MForce.
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 MForce Sup­ply Cable AWG Table at the end of this Appendix.
Example A – Cabling Under 50 Feet, DC Power
NOTE: These recommendations
will provide optimal protection against EMI and RFI. The actual cable type, wire gauge, shield type and filtering devices used are dependent on the customer’s application and system.
NOTE: The length of
the DC power supply
cable to an MForce
should not exceed 50 feet.
NOTE: These
recommendations
will provide optimal protection against EMI and RFI. The actual cable type, wire gauge, shield type and filtering devices used are dependent on the customer’s application and system.
NOTE: Always use Shielded/Twisted Pairs for the MForce DC Supply Cable
and the AC Supply Cable.

Determi ning the Vir tual COM Port (VCP)
The MD-CC400-000 uses a Virtual COM Port to communicate through the USB port to the MForce. A VCP is a software driven serial port which emulates a hardware port in Windows.
The drivers for the MD-CC400-000 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 D.8), 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 D.9). The COM # will be the Virtual COM Port connected. You will enter this number into your IMS Terminal Configuration.
