(+75 VDC).
Note: 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 +75 VDC.

WARNING!
Because the
MDrive consists of two core
components, a drive and a motor, close attention
must be paid to the thermal environment where the device is used. Operating Range is
-40 to +75°C.
Install the IMS SPI Motor Interface
The IMS SPI Motor Interface is a utility that easily allows you to set up the parameters of your MDrive34Plus Microstepping. It is available both on the MDrive34Plus CD that came with your product and on the IMS web site at http://www.imshome.com/software_interfaces.html.
1.Download the IMS SPI Motor Interface from http://www.imshome.com/software_interfaces.html.
2.Extract to a location on you hard drive.
3.Double-Click the setup.exe file.
4.Follow the on-screen instructions.
5.Once IMS SPI Motor Interface is installed, the MDrive34Plus Microstepping settings can be checked and/or set.
Note: Interactive usage tutorials are available at the IMS
Web Site at http:// www.imshome.com/tutorials. html
Once installed you can change the motor run current, holding current, microstep resolution and other configuration settings. By sending clock pulses to the drive you can now change these settings safely on-the-fly as the IMS SPI Motor interface will not allow you to set an out-of-range value.
The motor can be run using the default settings without connecting communications or changing the parameters.

SECTION 1.1
Introduction to the MDrive34Plus Microstepping
The MDrive34Plus Microstepping high torque integrated motor and driver is ideal for designers who want the simplicity of a motor with on-board electronics. The integrated electronics of the MDrive34Plus eliminate the need to run motor cabling through the machine, reducing the potential for problems due to electrical noise.
The unsurpassed smoothness and performance delivered by the MDrive34Plus Microstepping 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 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 +75°C (heat sink), –40° to
+90°C (Motor) provides long life, trouble free service in demanding environments.
The MDrive34Plus uses a NEMA 34 frame size high torque brushless motor combined with a microstepping driver, and accepts up to 20 resolution settings from full to 256 microsteps per full step, including: degrees, metric and arc minutes. These settings may be changed on-the-fly or downloaded and stored in nonvolatile memory with the use of a simple GUI which is provided. This eliminates the need for external switches or resistors. Parameters are changed via an SPI port.
The versatile MDrive34Plus Microstepping is available in multiple configurations to fit various system needs. Rotary motor versions come in three lengths and may include an internal optical encoder, control knob or planetary gearbox. Interface connections are accomplished with either a pluggable locking wire crimp or 12.0" (30.5 cm) flying leads.
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.
Configuration Interface
The IMS Motor Interface software is an easy to install and use GUI for configuring the MDrive34Plus from a computer's USB port. GUI access is via the IMS SPI Motor Interface included on the CD shipped with the product, or from www.imshome.com. Optional cables are available for ease of connecting and configuring the MDrive.
Easy installation.
Automatic detection of MDrive version and communication configuration.
Will not set out-of-range values.
Tool-tips display valid range setting for each option.
Simple screen interfaces.
