Overview of the MDII / ASPII
OVERVIEW:
MDII: The Micro Drive II series digital motor speed controls employ an advanced 16-bit microprocessor. The
MD20P is designed for digital closed-loop operation of up to 1/2 horsepower DC permanent magnet motors,
while the MD30P and MD30E range is from 1/4 through 2 horsepower. This control features a true P-I-D
algorithm, with user-programmable gains for extremely responsive and precise control over a wide variety of
desired speeds and applications. Set or Actual speed is displayed directly in RPM, Process Time, or other
engineering units. Field customizing permits setting of specific operating parameters. The MD20P and MD30P
offer improved performance over the MD10P and MD3P respectively and come in the same 1/8 DIN and 1/
4 DIN sizes. Both sizes are rated to NEMA 4X when properly installed in a panel. The MD30E offers the same
electrical features as the MD30P in a wall mount NEMA 4/12 enclosure.
ASPII: The Accu-Set II is a device which allows conventional AC and DC motor drives to be operated in
a digital closed loop configuration. By simply replacing the conventional 3-wire speed pot of the drive,
closed loop operation is achieved. This configuration provides for extremely tight control of motor speed.
The ASP20 control features a true P-I-D algorithm with user definable parameters for extremely responsive
and precise control over a wide variety of desired speeds and applications. Set or Actual speed may be
displayed directly in RPM, Process Time, or other engineering units. Field customizing permits setting of
specific operating parameters. The ASP20 is a companion to, or replacement for, the ASP10 and offers
significantly improved performance over the ASP10. The ASP20 is compatible with most drives having a
supply voltage of 3 - 24VDC and an input impedance of 1,000 to 10,000,000 ohms. Output inversion allows
the ASP20 to operate with drives that use a negative voltage supply. The ASP20 comes in a NEMA 4X 1/
8 DIN panel mount package.
ASPII / MDII: The integrated RS485/422/232 serial interface port is ideal for monitoring/control using
almost any computer or process controller. Units can even be attached in a Local Area Network, and can
then be controlled and even customized either individually or all at once. “Multi” mode allows the user to
choose between a “menu” of up to six programmed configurations, if desired.

PU-E Series Installation
The Dart PU-E series pick-up is an economical way to monitor motor speed. Its patented design provides for ease of
installation in otherwise difficult to reach areas. The PU-E operates from the +5V power supply in the MDII/ASPII,
producing a 5 volt square wave whose frequency is proportional to speed. This signal is fed into the control as a speed
reference for the microprocessor.

No other mounting screws are necessary, as the cord will keep the
unit from rotating. The PU-E gives a high signal when the north pole
of the magnetic disc crosses the Hall-Effect transistor. The signal is
72.00
switched low when the south pole crosses this same transistor.
CAUTION: THE PU-E CORD SHOULD NOT BE GROUPED WITH ANY OTHER WIRES OR CORDS. FOR APPLICATIONS WITH PU-E WIRE OVER 6 FEET LONG, OR NOISY ENVIRONMENTS, A SHIELDED CABLE IS RECOMMENDED. CONNECT THE SHIELD TO THE COMMON TERMINAL ON THE MDII/ASPII, LEAVING THE
SHIELD ON THE PU-E END FLOATING.

Initial Check-out of the ASPII /MDII
The ASPII / MDII is shipped with a minimum standard program. This program not only covers the needs
for a standard control configuration, but also allows the user to easily check out the basic operation of the
entire system of ASPII / MDII, motor and pickup, before embarking on any custom setup changes. The unit,
NOTE:For a complete explanation of these and many other parameters, please refer to the sec-
tion “Customizing the ASPII / MDII” in this manual.
After control has been wired, apply AC power to the unit. You will have a display of [ 0], and the motor should
be stopped. Next, run the motor; To do this, first press the#button until a reasonable (for your system) RPM
target speed is displayed. The new speed will take effect when either the ENTER button is pressed, or after
you “let up” on the #(or $) button for about 1.5 seconds. If the motor starts running at a constant speed,
everything is o.k. If there are problems at this point, please refer to the “Troubleshooting” section before
proceeding!
Also, note the direction of the motor’s rotation. If it is backwards from desired, disconnect input power and
reverse the armature wires going to the motor. You may now customize the behavior (or configure) the ASPII
/ MDII for your particular application. Please refer to the Section “Customizing the ASPII / MDII” for
instructions.

Operating the ASPII / MDII
One of the most powerful features of the ASPII/MDII is its ability to be customized in many different ways.
The computer in the ASPII/MDII is powerful enough to allow the person responsible for this customizing,
who we call the editor, to customize the way the ASPII/MDII operates to meet the needs of many
applications. Unfortunately, it would take a gigantic manual to cover every combination possible for the
operation of the ASPII/MDII. Instead, this section will outline the front panel controls, displays, and menus,
and what their possible functions are. The various “modes of operation” are explained in more detail in the
section “Customizing the ASPII/MDII”. Below is a drawing of the front panel of the ASPII/MDII with
explanations of its controls and displays.

#and$buttons: These are used for changing things. During normal operation (run mode), they are used to
change the desired speed setting, process time, or percentage of leader speed. They can also be used to choose
from up to 6 different preset configurations, or “programs”, if so desired. In edit mode, they are used to choose
what you want to edit, as well as the actual editing itself.
ENTER button: This pushbutton has many functions. In both run and editing modes, the primary function
of this control is to “accept” values or menu choices after they have been changed with the # and $ buttons.
In run mode, holding this button for about 2 seconds will cause the ASPII/MDII to enter the Function Menu
(see “Menus”, below). This button is also used during run mode to temporarily change display modes between
displaying actual (tach) speed or process time, and desired (target) speed setting or process time.
Displays
Page Indicator:Used only in edit mode. Lights up when you are choosing which page to edit.
Item Indicator:Used only in edit mode. Lights up when you are choosing which item to edit.
Valu Indicator:Used for editing purposes both in edit and run modes. Lights up when you are actually
displaying/editing a value. Also used in run mode to show when you are changing the
target value (setting).
Tach Indicator:Used
Display Window: Primary information display. Used to display values, menus, error condition alarms, etc.
only in run mode. Lights up when the ASPII/MDII is displaying the actual speed
or process time of the motor pickup.
The display is four character, seven segment, LED type, with programmable decimal
points after each character, as well as a programmable colon between the second and third
characters, for displaying “time” values.
