Thank you for selecting the MOONS’ SR4 Motor Drive. We hope our commitment to performance,
quality and economy will make a successful motion control project.
1.1 Overview
The SR series drives are cost-effective, high performance 2 phase step drives. The design is
based on PID current control technology, and features high torque, low noise, and low vibration.
The running current and microstep resolution are switch selectable.
1.2 Features
• Power Supply - operates from a 24 to 48 volt DC power supply
• Output Power - position switch selectable, 8 settings, max 4.5 amps peak
• Current Control - advanced digital current control provides excellent high speed torque
• Microstep Resolution -
25600, 51200 step/rev
• Speed Range - speeds up to 3000 rpm
• Anti Resonance - raises the system-damping ratio to eliminate midrange instability and allow
stable operation throughout the speed range of the motor.
• Auto Setup - measures motor parameters and congures motor current control and anti-resonance gain settings
• Microstep Emulation - performs high resolution stepping by synthesizing coarse steps into ne
micro-steps
• Control Modes - Step & Direction or CW/CCW pulse
• Input Digital Filters - 2 MHz digital lter for high speed inputs
• Motor Type Select - a 16 bit rotary switch is used to select the desired motor database which
is pre-loaded at the Factory
• Load Inertia Select - as part of the motor database each motor can be selected for use with
low or high load inertia.
• Idle Current - switch selectable for 50% or 90% idle running current reduction 1 second after
the motor stops
• Self Test - switch selectable, the drive will perform a 2 rev, 1 rps, CW/CCW move test

2 Mounting the Drive
The SR4 Step Drive can be mounted on the wide or the narrow side of the chassis. If it is mounted on the wide side, M3 screws should be used through the four corner holes. For narrow side
mounting applications, M3 screws can be used in the two side holes.
The ampliers in the drive generate heat. To operate the drive continuously at maximum power
forced air cooling, as from a fan, should be provided.
Never use the drive in a space where there is no air ow or where other devices can cause the
surrounding air to be more than 40 °C. Never put the drive where it can get wet or where metal
particles can fall into it.

3 Connections
To use the SR4 Step Drive, the following items
are needed:
• A power supply (24 - 48 VDC)
• Pulse & Direction signal
• A compatible step motor
3.1 Connecting to the Power Supply
If the power supply does not have a fuse on the
output or some kind of short circuit current limiting
device, a fast acting fuse is required. A 4 amp fast
acting fuse should be installed in line with the “+” power supply lead.
Connect the motor power supply “+” terminal to the drive terminal labeled “V+”. Connect the power
supply “-” to the drive terminal labeled “V-”.
Be careful not to reverse the wires.

3.3 Connecting to the Inputs
3.3.1 Step & Direction Inputs
The SR4 Step Drive has two high speed optically isolated inputs called STEP and DIR. They accept 5 to 24 volt single-ended or differential signals, up to 2MHz. The maximum voltage that can
be applied to the input is 28V.
The motor executes one step with the falling edge of the STEP signal.
The direction of rotation is controlled by the DIR signal level. A low level signal (0 level) will result
in clockwise rotation, and a high level signal (1 level) will result in counterclockwise rotation.

SR4 User Manual
3.3.2 EN Input
The EN input enables or disables the drive amplier. It is an optically isolated input that accepts
a 5 to 24 volt single-ended or differential signal. The maximum voltage that can be applied to the
input is 28V.
When EN input is closed, the driver amplier is deactivated. All the MOSFETs will shut down, and
the motor will be free. When EN input is open, the drive is activated.
When the drive has encountered an error and the fault is removed from system, a falling signal
into the EN input will reset the error status and activate the drive amplier again.

3.3.3 Fault Output
The FAULT Output is optically isolated. The maximum collector current is 100mA, and the maximum collector to emitter voltage is 30 volts. The output can be wired to sink or source current.
When drive is working normally, the output is open. When the drive encounters an error, the output
closes.

4.1 Running Current
The output current of the SR4 Step Drive is set by the SW1, SW2, and SW3 switches and can be
changed as necessary. There are 8 settings available according to the ON/OFF combination of the
switches.

4.2 Idle Current
The running current of the SR4 drive is automatically reduced anytime the motor isn’t moving.
Setting the SW4 switch to ON reduces the current to 50% of it running value. Setting this switch to
OFF maintains 90% of the running current. This 90% setting is useful when a high holding torque
is required. To minimize motor and drive heating it is highly recommended that the idle current
reduction feature be set to 50% unless the application requires the higher setting.
4.3 Microstepping
The microstep resolution is set by the SW5, SW6 and SW7 switches. There are 8 settings.

4.4 Self Test
Setting switch SW8 to ON after the drive is powered up will cause the drive to perform a self
test move of 2 revolutions both CW and CCW at 1rps. Setting switch SW8 to OFF disables this
feature.
5 Motor Selection
Each position of the 16-bit rotary switch selects a different motor, and automatically sets the
conguration parameters in the drive. The SR4 drive comes programmed with up to 8 typical
motors as factory defaults. Drives can be customized with specially selected motors when required.
The rotary switch also selects a low or high inertia for each motor to allow for
various load conditions. The low setting is 1:1, and the high setting is 10:1. Each
motor in the loaded database has unique settings to optimize the anti-resonance.
See the table below.
When the motor selection is changed, the drive power supply will need to be cycled.

The SR4 Step Drive has one bicolor (red/green) LED to indicate status. When the motor is en-
abled, the green LED ashes slowly. When the green LED is solid, the motor is disabled. If the
red LED ashes, an error has occurred. Errors are indicated by a combination of red and green
ashes as follows:
