bar” current limit. That is, when the supply senses an
over-current condition, it will turn off the output voltage for
a time, and then back on again. This will continue until the
over-current condition is cleared. Therefore, when using a
regulated power supply for drive voltage, the supply should
provide current sufficient enough to handle the high inrush
motor current during power-up. If it does not, the power
supply will switch into current limit and cut off regulating
voltage to the drive. This can cause damage to the IB
Series Motor Driver! Methods that will correct this condition

Introduction to the IB Series Drivers
IB Series Half/Full Step Drivers
The IB series of miniature high performance stepper motor drives are
designed for today’s quality minded, price sensitive market. The 40 volt
series has a +12 to +40 VDC input voltage, up to 3.5 Amps per phase
drive current and a maximum step frequency of 40kHz. The 80V series
has a +24 to +80 VDC input voltage, up to a powerful 9 Amps per phase
of drive current and a maximum step frequency of 250kHz. All of these
drives feature pin compatibility, optically isolated logic inputs, and a 20
kHz chopping rate to reduce noise. In addition, all these drives are single
supply.
The 40V Line of IB Drives
IB462
The IB462 packs a powerful 160 Watts into less than 3 cu. in. This drive
operates from +12 to +40VDC and effortlessly outputs 2 Amps per phase.
This high voltage allows for greater speeds at higher torque without having to
resort to expensive drives or larger motors.
The high efficiency of the IB462 chopper drive along with its miniature
size make it ideally suited to replace the less efficient L/R drives. In
addition, the low cost and off-the-shelf availability of the IB462 permits
an immediate, cost effective solution to an in-house design.
IB463
The IB463 has an output capability of up to 3.5 Amps per phase and,
while it operates at the same voltage range as the IB462, it can deliver 1.4
times more power. This equates to 230 Watts of power in a package that
only requires 3.6 cubic inches of real estate.
The IB463 is ideal for those applications requiring more power, but where
size and cost are still important factors.
The 80V Line of IB Drives
The IB104, 106 and 1010 use MOSFET technology to achieve high power
from a miniature package. These drives are designed to get maximum
performance from larger, higher torque motors. This type of performance
is required for today’s most demanding applications.
8
Page 11
With this 80V series of the IB family, IMS has preserved pin compatibility
with the 40V series to provide equipment manufacturer’s the ability to
easily upgrade their systems if more power is needed. In addition, the
small package makes them ideal for PC board mounting. They may also be
frame or chassis mounted and will accept 0.200/0.196 center connectors or
plug type terminal strips such as the option TS-6 terminals sold by IMS.
IB104
The IB104 operates from +24 to +80 volts at 4 Amps per phase output
current. This drive is ideal for lower power applications requiring high
voltage performance. The IB104 will also run cooler because it uses the
same MOSFET technology as the more powerful 80V IB drives.
IB106
The IB106 was designed with higher performance motors that require
more current in mind. Applications requiring increased power can take
advantage of its 6 Amps/phase drive current.
IB1010
The IB1010 utilizes the same high 80V input voltage as the IB104 and
IB106, but is capable of delivering a full 9 Amps per phase. This equates
to an incredible 1800 Watts in the same small package. This drive is
unparalleled for those applications where maximum power is required, but
size and cost are still a consideration.

Theory of Operation
Section Overview
This section will cover the circuit operation for the IB series drives.
The IB series drives are bipolar chopping stepper motor drives. They
receive step clock, direction and mode signals from the system controller
and generate constant phase currents which are adjustable in magnitude.
The principal functions are: a translator which generates the motor phase
sequences, a dual PWM chopper circuit which regulates the current in the
motor windings and a power stage to drive the motor. The translator
generates three different sequences selected by the half/full step input.
These are normal (two phases energized), wave drive (one phase energized)

and half step (alternately one phase energized/ two phases energized).
A common on-board oscillator drives the dual chopper. It supplies pulses
which set two flip-flops. When the current in a winding reaches the
programmed peak value a corresponding comparator resets its flip-f lop,
shutting down the output stage until the next oscillator pulse comes along.
Because the windings in the motor store energy, current will continue to
flow through the windings during the off period. The peak current for
both windings is programmed by the current adjust input.
The output stage consists of dual full bridge drivers. The IB Series drives
can be disabled by a logic HIGH signal on the enable input. Ultra fast
recovery fly-back rectifiers are used to improve efficiency and help reduce
noise.
Output Wave Sequences
The IB series drives generate phase sequences for normal, wave and half step
modes. The state diagram and output waveforms are shown below. In all
modes, the transition occurs on the falling edge of the step clock signal.
Normal Mode
In normal drive mode two phases are energized at all times. This mode is
enabled by a logic HIGH on the Half/Full step input when the IB drive
initializes to state 1.

Selecting a Power Supply
Section Overview
This section contains general information pertaining to power supply
selection for use with the IB drive. See the section in Part II of this
document titled for the specific model IB drive you purchased for power
supply specifications and recommendations. Precise wiring and connection
details are to be found in Section 1.5, Interfacing to the IB Series Driver. The
following is covered by this section:
!Selecting a Power Supply.
!Recommended Wiring.
!AC Line Filtering.
Selecting a Power Supply
Selecting a Motor Supply (+V)
Proper selection of a power supply to be used in a motion system is as
important as selecting the drive itself. When choosing a power supply for a
stepping motor driver there are several performance issues that must be
addressed. An undersized power supply can lead to poor performance and
possibly even damage to your drive.
14
The Power Supply - Motor Relationship
Motor windings can be basically viewed as inductors. Winding resistance
and inductance result in an L/R time constant that resists the change in
current. To effectively manipulate the rate of charge, the voltage applied is
increased. When traveling at high speeds, there is less time between steps
to reach current. The point where the rate of commutation does not allow
the driver to reach full current is referred to as voltage mode. Ideally you
want to be in current mode, which is when the drive is achieving the
desired current between steps. Simply stated, a higher voltage will decrease
the time it takes to charge the coil, and therefore will allow for higher
torque at higher speeds.
Another 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 and, as a result, could damage the stepper
driver over a period of time.
Page 17
The Power Supply - Driver Relationship
The IB series driver is very current efficient as far as the power supply is
concerned. Once the motor has charged one or both windings of the
motor, all the power supply has to do is replace losses in the system. The
charged winding acts as an energy storage in that the current will recirculate
within the bridge, and in and out of each phase reser voir. This results in a
less than expected current draw on the supply.
Stepping motor drivers are designed with the intention that a user’s power
supply output will ramp up to greater or equal to the minimum operating
voltage. The initial current surge is quite substantial and could damage the
driver if the supply is undersized. The output of the power supply could
fall below the operating range of the driver upon a current surge if it is
undersized. This could cause the power supply to start oscillating in and
out of the voltage range of the driver and result in damage to either the
supply, the driver, or both. There are two types of supplies commonly
used, regulated and unregulated, both of which can be switching or linear.
All have their advantages and disadvantages.
Regulated vs. Unregulated
An unregulated linear supply is less expensive and more resilient to
current surges, however, the voltage decreases with increasing current
draw. This can cause problems if the voltage drops below the working
range of the drive. Also of concern are the fluctuations in line voltage.
This can cause the unregulated linear supply to be above or below the
anticipated or acceptable voltage.
A regulated supply maintains a stable output voltage, which is good for
high speed performance. They are also not bothered by line fluctuations,
however, they are more expensive. Depending on the current regulation,
a regulated supply may crowbar or current clamp and lead to an oscillation that may cause damage to the driver and/or power supply. Back
EMF can cause problems for regulated supplies as well. The current
regeneration may be too large for the regulated supply to absorb. This
could lead to an over voltage condition which could damage the output
circuitry of the IB driver.
Non IMS switching power supplies and regulated linear supplies with
over-current protection are not recommended because of their inability to
handle the surge currents inherit in stepping motor systems.
WARNING! Do not connect or disconnect motor or power
leads with power applied!

Recommended Wiring
Rules of Wiring and Shielding
Noise is always present in a system that involves high power and small
signal circuitry. Regardless of the power configuration used for your
system, there are some wiring and shielding rules that should be followed
to keep the signal-to-noise ratio as small as possible.
Rules of Wiring
!Power supply and motor wiring should be shielded
!A minimum of 1 twist per inch is recommended.
!Motor wiring should be shielded twisted pairs using 20-
!Power ground return should be as short as possible to

Rules of Shielding
!The shield must be tied to zero-signal reference potential.
!Do not assume that earth ground is true earth ground.
!The shield must be connected so that shield currents drain

however, the second shield is tied to ground at both ends.
16
Page 19
Recommended Power Supply Cables
Power supply cables must not run parallel to logic level wiring as noise will
be coupled onto the logic signals from the power supply cables. If more
than one driver is to be connected to the same power supply, run separate
power and ground leads to each driver from the power supply. The
following Belden cables (or equivalent) are recommended for use with the
IB series drive.
Twisted Pair Jacketed
<4 Amps DC ......................... Belden par t# 9740 or equivalent 18 AWG
>4 Amps DC ......................... Belden par t# 8471 or equivalent 16 AWG
AC Line Filtering
The output voltage of an unregulated power supply will vary with the AC
input applied. It is recommended that an AC line filter be used to prevent
damage to the IB series drive due to a lightning strike or power surge.
WARNING! Verify that the power supply wiring is correct prior to
power application. If +V and GND are connected in reverse
order, catastrophic damage to the drive may occur! Ensure that
the power supply output voltage does not exceed the maximum
rated voltage for your IB driver!
WARNING! Hazardous voltage levels may be present if using an
open frame power supply to power the IB driver!

Motor Selection and Connection
Section Overview
This section covers the motor configurations for the IB series drive, as well
as general information concerning motor selection and connection. For
specific motor recommendations see the section in Part II of this document pertaining to the model IB drive which you purchased.
!Selecting a Motor.
!Motor Wiring.
!Connecting the Motor.
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
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
effect everything from the power supply voltage to the type and wiring
configuration of your stepper motor, as well as the current and half/full
step settings of your IB series drive.
load?
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. Though 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 IB series drivers are designed to work
with the following types of stepping motors:
18
1) Permanent Magnet (PM).
2) Hybrid Stepping Motors.
Page 21
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). A VR motor is a low torque and load capacity
motor typically used in instrumentation. The IB series drivers 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 range 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 IB series drivers are bipolar drivers which work 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 IB d rive chops the voltage using a
constant 20kHz 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 IB drive 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
drive is set to the motor’s rated current. Precise current control settings are
explained in the sections of Part II of this document that pertain to the model IB
drive which you purchased.
As was discussed in the previous section, Selecting a Power Supply , 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 IB driver depending on the wiring configuration used. Your calculations must allow for the actual inductance that the
driver will see based upon the motor’s wiring configuration used.
Figure 1.4.1A 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 1.4.1B shows an 8 lead motor wired in parallel. Using this configu-
ration the per phase inductance seen by the driver will be as specified.
Maximum Motor Inductance (mH per Phase) =
.4 X Minimum Supply Voltage
Using the following equation we will show an example of sizing a motor
for an IB drive used with an unregulated power supply with a minimum
voltage (+V) of 18 VDC:
.4 X 18 = 7.2 mH
The maximum per phase winding inductance we can use is 7.2 mH.
20
NOTE: In calculating the maximum phase inductance the
minimum supply output voltage should be used when using an
unregulated supply.
Page 23
Motor Wiring
As with the power supply wiring, motor wiring should be run separately
from logic wiring to minimize noise coupled onto the logic signals. Motor
cabling exceeding 1 foot in length should be shielded twisted pairs to
reduce the transmission of EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) which can
lead to rough motor operation and poor system performance overall. For
NOTE: The physical direction of the motor with respect to the
direction input will depend upon the connection of the motor
windings. To switch the direction of the motor with respect to
the direction input, switch the wires on either phase A or
phase B outputs.
WARNING! Do not connect or disconnect motor or power
leads with power applied!

that they may be connected in series or parallel, thus satisfying a wide range
of applications.

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.

Interfacing to the IB Series Drive
Section Overview
The IB series drive may be incorporated directly in the user’s printed circuit
board. It may also be chassis mounted and interfaced to using either
soldered wire connection or the optional plug on terminal strips (IMS PN
TS-6). In order to operate, the IB drive must have the following connections
!Motor Power (+V).
!Motor.
!Logic Interface (Step Clock, Direction).
The section also contains pin assignment and description, and sample logic
and current adjust interface circuit examples.
Layout and Interface Guidelines
Logic level signals should not run parallel to motor phase signals. The
motor phase signals will couple noise onto the logic level signals. This will
cause rough motor motion and unreliable system operation. Motor phase
signals should be run as pairs and should be separated from other signals
by ground traces where possible
When leaving the board, motor cables should not run parallel with other
wires. Phases should be wired using twisted pairs. If motor cabling in
excess of one foot is required, motor cabling should be shielded twisted
pairs to reduce the transmission of EMI. The shield must be tied to AC
ground at driver end only. The motor end must be left floating.
If more than one driver is connected to the power supply, separate power
and ground connections from each driver to the power supply should be
used.
The power supply cables need to be a twisted pair if power is connected
from a source external to the board. If multiple drivers are used with an
external power source, and it is not possible to run separate power and
ground connections to each driver, a low impedance electrolytic capacitor
equivalent to two times the total capacitance of all driver capacitors and of
equal voltage must be placed at the power input of the board.
NOTE: See the section in Part II of this document pertaining to
the model IB drive you purchased for electrical specifications
of the input/output signals.

supply, a stepping motor, and a control interface supplying step clock and
direction.
Interfacing Motor Power (+V)
Pins 7 (+V), and 8 (Ground) are used to connect motor DC power to the
IB drive. A low impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required.
The continuous operating voltage of the capacitor should exceed the
maximum supply voltage (+V) as well as any additional voltage caused by
the motor’s back EMF.
The value of the capacitor should be approximately 150µF for every Amp
of peak per phase output current and should be placed as close to pins 7
and 8 as possible. See figure 1.5.1 for connection drawing.
See the section titled for the model IB drive you purchased in Part II of
this document for power supply specifications and recommendations.
Interfacing the Logic Inputs
The IB series drives have 4 isolated logic inputs: Enable, Step Clock,
Direction, and Half/Full Step. These inputs are optically isolated and have
a maximum forward input current of 15mA. Precise specifications on
these inputs can be found in Part II of this manual, in the section
pertaining to the model IB drive you purchased. These inputs require a
current limiting resistor or use of one of the interfaces diagrammed in this
section. Failure to utilize a resistor or recommended interface will damage
the input circuitry of the drive and render it inoperable.
WARNING! A current limiting resistor or use of a
recommended interface is required in series with the logic
inputs! Use of these inputs without this resistor or
recommended interface will result in damage to the drive!

Controlling the Output Current
The IB series drivers are internally configured to run at full current. In
order to lower the output current a resistor must be placed between pin 6
(Current Adjust) and pin 7 (Power Ground). This resistor value will be
different for each model of the IB series. The section pertaining to each
particular model contains a table that lists output current settings and
adjust resistor values.

Figure 1.5.8: Isolated Switching of Phase Currents
In the event that your IB series drive doesn’t operate properly, the first step
is to identify whether the problem is electrical or mechanical in nature. The
next step is to isolate the system component that is causing the problem.
As part of this process you may have to disconnect the individual components that make up your system and verify that they operate independently.
It is important to document each step in the troubleshooting process.
You may need this documentation to refer back to at a later date. These
details will greatly assist one of our application engineers in determining
the problem should you need assistance.
Many of the problems that effect motion control systems can be traced to
electrical noise, software errors, or mistakes in wiring.

Reducing the Output Current
In order to use the current reduction feature on the OPT140 there are two
resistors that must be placed on the OPT140 board, R5 and R1. R5
should be a ½ watt resistor for the IB104, 106 and 1010. For the IB462
and IB463 a ¼ watt resistor should be used. The value of the resistor is
calculated using the following equation:
R5 = 200 x (+V - 10)
The value of R1, the reduction adjust resistor (R
) is determined by
RED
using the current adjustment resistor tables in the section of the Hardware
Reference part of this document pertaining to the model IB drive you
purchased. It is calculated as follows:

The current reduction input on Pin 8 is pulled-up to +5VDC via a 1kΩ
resistor. When toggled LOW the current reduction adjust resistor R1 will
be switched in parallel with the current adjust resistor R4, thus the output
current of the driver will be set to the value specified by the total resistance
(R
) of R1 and R4 (see figure A.2: OPT140 Schematic Representation).
HOLD
The value of R
will be the resistor value representative of the desired

appropriate for the model IB drive purchased. This value will only be used
to calculate the value of R1 (R

NOTE: If a resistor is not placed in the R4 position,
the run current of the driver will be at its full scale.
In this case the value of R1 would then equal the
value of the current adjust resistor specified for

table being used.

The TN thermal non-isolating pad is a composite of .0015” (.038 mm)
aluminum foil coated on both sides with a .0025” (.063 mm) thick
thermally and electrically conductive rubber. These pads have a thermal
conductivity of 0.65 W/m-K and a maximum temperature rating of
180°C.
One side of the TN pad is adhesive and may be applied directly to the IB
driver. The TN pad eliminates the problems associated with using thermal
grease. The following pads are available for the IB series drives:
These pads are also included in the heat sink kit.
Page 71
Thermal Isolating (TI)
The TI thermal isolating pad uses a 0.006” (0.15mm) special film which
has high thermal conductivity (0.9 W/m-K) and high dielectric strength
(5000 Cps). The TI thermal insulating pad can withstand high voltages
and does not require thermal grease to transfer heat. The following pads
are available for the IB series drivers:
The TS-6 screw terminal set is available as
an option for the IB series drivers. These
six position terminal blocks plug directly
onto the IB drive connector pins.
There are two of the six position
terminals per set.

The IB Series “S” Version
General Description
The IB Series “S” Version drivers differ from the standard IB product line
in that input circuitry requires a sinking interface rather than sourcing. Table

Interfacing and Using the IB Series “S”
Version Isolated Logic Inputs
The IB Series “S” Version has 4 optically isolated logic inputs. These
inputs are isolated to minimize or eliminate electrical noise coupled onto
the drive control signals. Each input is internally pulled-up to the level of
the optocoupler supply and may be connected to sinking outputs on a
controller such as the IMS LYNX or a PLC. These inputs are:
Of these inputs only step clock and direction are required to operate the IB
Series “S” Version.
The schematic shown in Figure 1 illustrates the inputs.
Powering the Optocouplers
In order to maintain isolation, the optocouplers must be powered by an
external power supply connected to Pin 2, with the opto supply ground
connected to the ground of the input control circuitry. The logic inputs are
internally limited to allow for a +5VDC power supply.
Figure 1: Isolated Logic Inputs

REV . 07.17.2003
Page 78
A power supply in excess of +5 volts may be used, however a current
limiting resistor MUST be placed in series with the input to limit the input
forward current to the recommended 7 milliamps. At no time can the input
forward current exceed 15 milliamps or damage may occur to the drive.

Interface Methods
The isolated logic inputs may be interfaced to the user’s control system in a
variety of ways. In all cases the inputs are normally in a logic HIGH state when
left floating. For purposes of this manual we will show three interface methods:
A switch connected between the input and the opto supply ground will sink the
input. If this method is used a SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch works
well for enable and direction. A normally-open momentary switch works well
for reset. Figure 2 illustrates a SPST switch connected to the enable input.

Figure 3 shows an open collector interface connected to the reset input. This
interface method may be used with any of the logic inputs. Remember that a
current limiting resistor is required if an opto supply voltage greater than +5
VDC is used.
