OMNIDRIVEs are intended for use as transistorized electronic amplifiers powering servo motors in machinery. As
such, they must be part of a controlled system that includes a controlling device. They are not intended to independently control a motor. Instructions in the motor and control system manuals must be observed; this document does
not replace those instructions.
Unless specified otherwise, OMNIDRIVEs are intended for use in a normal industrial environment, installed in a
suitable electrical cabinet without exposure to excessive or corrosive moisture or abnormal ambient temperatures.
The exact operating conditions may be established by referring to the data for the drive. The connection and control
of drives in machinery is a skilled operation, disassembly or repair must not be attempted. In the event that a drive
fails to operate correctly, contact the place of purchase for return instructions.

OMNIDRIVE Features
Drive Power Ratings
Several power levels of OMNIDRIVEs are available. All models have integral power supplies1 and use
a single phase power source. They differ only in physical size, indexing capability and output power:
•ODM-005 and -005i with continuous output power of 500 Watts.
•ODM-010 and -010i with continuous output power of 1000 Watts.
•ODM-020 and -020i with continuous output power of 2000 Watts.
The OMNIDRIVEs, when combined with brushless servo motors, provide continuous torque ranging
from 0.17 Nm to 2.5 Nm (1.5 to 22.5 lb-in) and peak torque ranging from 0.48 Nm to 7.12 Nm (4.3 lbin to 63 lb-in).
High Performance Microcontroller Technology
All digital current, velocity and position loop calculations as well as the motor commutation calculation
are performed by a microcontroller.
IPM Technology
IPM (Intelligent Power Module) technology in the output stage provides a high frequency, digital PWM
(Pulse Width Modulation) sine wave that controls the current loop, including overcurrent, short circuit
and overtemperature protection.
1. ODM-00 5, -005i, -010, -010i and -020 and -020i require an external 12-24VDC power source for I/O.
Installation Manual for Models ODM-005, ODM-005i, ODM-010, ODM-010i, ODM-020 and ODM-020i
All OMNIDRIVEs allow the user to select one of the following analog or digital command interfaces:
• ±10 Volt analog interface – position, velocity or torque control
• Presets (from one to eight binary inputs) – torque or velocity control
• Quadrature encoder digital interface – electronic gearing position follower
• Step/Direction digital interface – position control
• CW/CCW (step up/step down) interface – position control
• Indexing (available only on ODM-010i, ODM-020i, ODM-030i, ODM-075i and
ODM- 150i).
Encoder Control
A single, motor mounted encoder provides complete commutation information and velocity feedback.
Low velocity regulation is enhanced by the use of a 8000PPR (pulses per revolution) incremental encoder.
Encoder Output
A selectable output allows the encoder resolution to be specified for maximum performance without
adding circuitry. Outputs are differential line drivers capable of dividing the motor encoder signal, PPR,
by a factor of 1, 2, 4 or 8.
Digital I/O
Digital I/O channels allow the user to program the drive to fit the specific application. Power for the I/O
must be supplied by an 12-24 VDC external I/O power supply. Selections include:
• Four selectable (INPUT1, INPUT2, INPUT3 and FAULT RESET), current sinking, optically isolated, active high inputs.
• One dedicated, control (ENABLE), current sinking, optically isolated, active high input.
• Two selectable, current sourcing, optically isolated and short circuit protected, active high
outputs.
• Two dedicated (BRAKE/DRIVEENABLED and DRIVE READY), normally open relay
outputs.
Analog I/O
Two analog inputs are dedicated to current limits and two analog outputs can be customized to fit the
application:
• One dedicated 10 bit, 0 – 10 Volt, analog inputs (EXTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT)
• One selectable, ±10 Volt analog outputs, one 12-bit and one 8-bit (ANALOG).
AC Input Power
OMNIDRIVEs covered by this manual are powered directly from a main 100-240 VAC single phase line.
Personality Module
EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) stores both motor and application
specific settings and parameters for the drive.
Device and circuit protection, and diagnostic information is provided by:
• Bi-color single point LED
• Overtemperature, short circuit and overcurrent protection for the power output

T (power-time) protection
• I
• Bus Overvoltage
• Bus Undervoltage
• Overspeed
• Fault diagnostics
• Watchdog timers provide fail-safe operation
Serial Command Sources
OMNIDRIVEs are configured and controlled via a serial communication link. Commands may be issued
from a variety of sources through a serial communications port. Possible command sources include:
•Personal computers
•Host computers
•Programmable Logic Controllers
•Motion controllers
•TouchPad.
The serial communication interface for the OMNIDRIVE supports:
•RS-232 and the four wire RS-485 communications standards
•NRZ (non-return to zero) asynchronous serial format
•Baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200
•Parity generation and checking: Even, Odd or None.
Connection of communication cables between the drive and user-supplied equipment is described in the
following sections:
One OMNIDRIVE - "Single Position RS-232 Set-up"
Multiple OMNIDRIVEs - "Multiple Position RS-485 Communications".
Analog Command Sources
In the analog mode of operation, the OMNIDRIVE requires a variable ±10 Volt DC external analog signal
capable of driving the servo regulator’s command input at an input impedance of 13.3 kOhms. Choose a
source such as a PLC (programmable logic controller), the DAC (digital-to-analog converter) of a computer, or a motion controller that meets this requirement.
Differential or single-ended line drivers may supply the signals for the auxiliary encoder inputs, step and
direction inputs, and step up/down inputs. The differential signal must be capable of supplying at least 5
mA with 2.0 Volts across the + and - inputs. A differential signal source provides the best noise margin
of all the interface circuit options. Single-ended signals from TTL drivers must be capable of sourcing
or sinking 5 mA.
In the preset mode, the controlling device should be capable of sourcing 10 mA into the digital inputs.
Installation Manual for Models ODM-005, ODM-005i, ODM-010, ODM-010i, ODM-020 and ODM-020i
One analog input channel is accessible to the user. The analog input limits the peak current available from
the drive.
•I LIMIT (current limit)
The analog signal must be within 0-10 Volt range and single-ended.
If this signal is not provided, the peak current of the drive may be set in software through the Drive
Parameter window.
Analog Output
One analog output channel may be defined by the user through software:
•ANALOG is a ±10 Volt signal. The allowable current draw of the load is ±2 mA
This analog output is designed for monitoring purposes only. This signal should not be used for control
purposes due to the relatively high ripple voltage (1%).
Digital Inputs
Control Inputs
One optically isolated, single ended, active high, dedicated control input provides the controller ENABLE
function. This input operates with switch closure or sourcing type transistor outputs.
The current rating is 10 mA maximum.
Selectable Inputs
Four optically isolated, single ended, active high inputs (INPUT1, INPUT2, INPUT3 and FAULT
RESET) support logic type interfaces. The input circuits operate with switch closure or sourcing type
transistor circuits.
The current rating of each input is 10 mA maximum.
Digital Outputs
Control Outputs
Two normally open relays are dedicated control outputs to the following signals:
The current ratings of each relay is 1 Amp at 30 VDC.
If using a motor with the 90VAC brake option, a user-provided relay may be driven by these outputs up
to the specified levels. Refer to "BRAKE/DRIVE ENABLE Application Exampl" for information about
the necessary hardware connections. Consult the I/O Configuration in the on-line OMNI LINK help for
additional information about the software parameters.
TIP
NOTE: Power for the I/O must be supplied by an external
Two optically isolated, single ended, active high, current sourcing, discrete output channels provide logic
outputs under software control.
Each selectable output channel is capable of sourcing 50 mA maximum and is optically isolated and short
circuit protected.
Auxiliary Encoder Interface
The external encoder I/O port permits quadrature type encoder signals for applications, such as electronic
gearing.
Encoder Inputs
Software automatically selects the appropriate input based on the command source:
•Master Encoder
•Step/Direction
•Step Up/Step Down.
Encoder Output
The resolution of the encoder output channel is under software control. The motor encoder signal is
divided by 1, 2, 4 or 8 to provide an output from a differential line driver measured in PPR (pulses per
revolution). The maximum encoder frequency output is 1 MHz (4 MHz quadrature).

This chapter describes four steps which should ensure that the drive functions correctly. The steps include:
• Unpacking the OMNIDRIVE
• Inspecting the drive for shipping damage
• Testing the basic functionality of the drive
• Guidelines for storing the drive.
Unpacking the Drive
1. Remove the OMNIDRIVE from the shipping carton and remove all packing materials from the unit.
The materials and carton may be retained for storage or shipment of the drive.
2. Check all items against the packing list. A label located on the side of the unit identifies:
•Model number
•Serial number
•Manufacturing date code.
Inspection Procedure
To protect your investment and ensure your rights under warranty, we recommend the following steps
be performed upon receipt of the unit:
• Inspect the unit for any physical damage that may have been sustained during shipment.
• Perform the drive checkout test to verify the functionality of the unit.
If you find damage, either concealed or obvious, contact your buyer to make a claim with the shipper. If
degraded performance is detected when testing the unit, contact your distributor or Thomson Industries
to obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA). Do this as soon as possible after receipt of the unit.
“Our Warranty” lists the period and conditions under which OMNIDRIVEs are warranted against defects.
Installation Manual for Models ODM-005, ODM-005i, ODM-010, ODM-010i, ODM-020 and ODM-020i
Drives are burned-in and individually tested before they leave the factory. However, damage may occur
during shipping. Perform the procedures below to ensure the OMNIDRIVE is operational and undamaged.
Abbreviated directions for connecting the drive to a motor and a PC are provided.
The test requires:
• Approximately 20 minutes to complete
• A motor with appropriate power and encoder cables
• A PC with the OMNI LINK software package installed
• An RS-232 communications cable
• A single phase 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source. Standard wall outlet power is suit-
able for verification testing of OMNIDRIVEs.
• A test cable constructed from two normally open switches, several pieces of 1.5 mm
(16 AWG) wire and a mating connector.
During the test, power is removed several times. Always neasure the DC bus voltage to verify the bus
capacitors are fully discharged, or wait for the time indicated in the warning on the front of the drive. The
bus capacitors must be fully discharged for the subsequent steps to be valid.
If problems are encountered during this procedure, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 11-3, review other
appropriate sections in this manual, or call your local Thomson Industries distributor.

Wiring
Wiring sizes and practices, as well as grounding and shielding techniques are described in the sections
listed below. Refer to the “Motor Power Contact and Wire Size Recommendations” on page 7-3 for
graphic depictions and recommended wire gaging.
The descriptions represent common wiring practices and should prove satisfactory in the majority of
applications.
Minimum wire gages for power cables are listed in:
• Motor Power Contact and Wire Sizing Recommendations ,
• “TB1 - AC Power Terminals” on page 7-5.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
General Guidelines
Appendix C, “Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines for Machine Design” contains guidelines for
reducing electrical noise and increasing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) plus a discussion of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
European Union EMC Directives
The OMNIDRIVEs are designed and tested to meet the European EMC Directive. Declarations of conformity, which enumerates the standards used, are included in the manual.
Installation requirements are necessary to meet the directives:
1. Use of factory supplied cables,
2. Use of an external AC line filter, and
Large leakage currents e xist in AC line filters . They must be ground ed properly
before applying power. Filter capacitors retain high voltages after power
removal. Before ha ndling the equipment, volta ges should be measured to de termine safe levels prior to handling the equipment.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury.
3. If an external supply powers the I/O, grounding of this power supply is required.
The following diagrams show the mounting dimensions for single phase AC Line Filters.
Table 5.3 shows a typical filter selection matrix for OMNIDRIVEs. All the filters identified below are
manufactured by Schaffner or Roxburgh and are widely available. There are many AC line filter manufacturers whose filters can be successfully integrated. Thomson Industries recommends Schaffner or
Roxburgh filters based on our test results, but the machine builder is responsible for the suitability of the
filter selection in a specific application. These filters can be used for distributing power to multiple drives,
rather than using an individual filter for each drive. Further information is available from Schaffner (1800-367-5566) or Roxburgh (01724.281770 [011.44.1724.281770 from the USA]).
AC line filters for use with OMNIDRIVEs are listed below:

MIF 330, MIF 336FN 351-36
The Roxburgh filters differ in the number of stages. The MDF (Motor Drive Filters) filters are single
stage filters; the MIF (Motor Inverter Filters) filters are three-stage filters. The three-stage filter will
remove more of the noise, but the cost is more panel space in the higher current filters. In the lower current
filters (<50 A), the panel space used is less for the MIF filters.
The Schaffner filters are single-stage filters. These differ from the Roxburgh filters in component types,
values and placement. The leakage current is generally lower, but the amount of attenuation is lower too.
These filters will work if the amount of noise in the environment is low, or if the design of the machine
is such that only a nominal amount of attenuation is needed.
Basic guidelines for reducing electrical noise and increasing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are
listed in “Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines for Machine Design” on page C-1.

The OMNIDRIVE may be electronically geared by a remote signal. Electronic gearing may be driven by
any of the following three signals:
•A master incremental encoder that generates quadrature encoder signals
•Step and direction signals, such as those created by indexers for step motors
•CW (Step Up)/CCW (Step Down) signals, typically used with stepper indexers.
The use of dif ferent ial sign als is s trongl y r ecomm ended . Singl e-ende d sig nals
are susceptible to noise, which may cause intermittent or continuous errors.
To improve noise immunity, terminate cable shields at both ends of the cable.

The use of differential signals is highly r ecommended
to common mode interference. Single-ended encoder interface circuits are not recommended, and may
result in system malfunction.
To improve noise immunity, a cable shield should terminate at both ends of the cable. Shields should
connect to the backshell of the connectors with termination around the full circumference (360°). The
connectors should attach to chassis ground (not signal common).

RS-232/485 Interface Circu it
The serial interface of the OMNIDRIVE uses the standard NRZ asynchronous serial format, and supports
both the RS-232 and the four wire RS-485 communications standards.
• Standard baud rates include 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 baud. 9600 is the factory
default setting.
• Even, odd, and no parity generation/checking are supported. No parity is the factory default
setting.
• The maximum number of OMNIDRIVEs allowable on an RS-485 bus is 32.
• The maximum length of an RS-232 cable is 15 meters (50 feet).
Installation Manual for Models ODM-005, ODM-005i, ODM-010, ODM-010i, ODM-020 and ODM-020i
OMNIDRIVEs communicate via a standard NRZ (non-return to zero) asynchronous serial format, which
supports either RS-232 or four wire RS-485. The pin-out arrangement on the drive serial ports provides
self-sensing of the communication standard. To change from RS-232 to four wire RS-485 requires a
simple change of the cable.
In multiple drive installations, a unique address must be assigned to each drive through software. The
factory default drive address is setting is Address 0. All addresses changes are made through OMNI LINK
software selection. Up to 32 (1 through 32) are supported.

Single Axis RS-232 Set Up
A single OMNIDRIVE may be selected using RS-232 communications. After cabling is attached to the
unit and the drive address is assigned, configuration of (i.e., communications with) the unit may proceed.
The following steps outline how to select the communications options:
The Scan Port for Attached Drives option in the Drive Select
window of OMNI LINK will identify any attached drives. If a drive is
identified, but cannot be communicated with, the Baud Rate selection
must be modified.
The cable diagrams provide wiring examples for both 9 pin and 25 pin serial ports from an IBM compatible
personal computer to the drive. RS-232 pin-outs vary between computer manufacturers. Check the hardware reference manual of your machine to ensure correct signal connections between the computer and
the drive.
Four Wire RS-485 Connections
The OMNIDRIVEs use a variation of the RS-485 standard, known as four wire RS-485. Four wire RS485 uses one differential signal for host to drive transmissions, and another differential signal for drive
to host transmissions. (The RS-485 standard specifies a single differential signal for transmissions in both
directions.)
The four wire RS-485 configuration also allows the host to use a RS-422 type interface. Because the host
is driving multiple receivers and receiving from multiple transmitters, RS-422 is limited to multiple axes
connections with 10 or less drives. The figure below summarizes the four wire RS-485, RS-422, and RS485 standards.

Thomson Industries motor power cables are shielded. The power cable is designed to be terminated at
the drive during installation. A small portion of the cable jacket is stripped, which exposes the shield
wires. The exposed area must be clamped at the left front of the drive chassis using the clamp provided
near the bottom. It is critical for EMC performance that the shield wires be clamped against the area of
the chassis which is not painted. This section of the chassis is labeled with the chassis ground symbol.

• within 8 minutes at 200% overload
• within 20 seconds at 600% overload.
Power Supply Protection
The feedback encoder, auxiliary encoder and optional TouchPad are powered by a single internal power
supply. The power supply has a “resettable” fuse that opens at 3 amps and automatically resets itself when
the current falls below 3 amps.There are no internal fuses requiring replacement.
Installation Manual for Models ODM-005, ODM-005i, ODM-010, ODM-010i, ODM-020 and ODM-020i
An overlapping contactor may be inserted between the motor and the drive for emergency stop purposes.
The contactor must not simply break the motor current, it also must switch a three phase resistive load in
parallel with the motor windings.
The three resistors provide dynamic braking. In addition, they prevent continuous arcing at the main
contacts when breaking DC currents, such as when the motor stalls. Simply breaking the motor current
can result in high voltages due to motor inductance, which will cause prolonged arcing in the contactor.
In extreme cases, the prolonged arcing could result in the contactor catching fire. An overlapping contactor
provides the required timing by engaging the braking contactors before the drive contactors disengage.
Figure 7.2 depicts a contactor installation with resistive loads. Follow these guidelines:
• The resistor values should be one to four times the winding resistance for good braking
performance. Refer to Appendix D, “Dynamic Braking Resistor Selection” for resistor
sizing equations.
• Screen and ground cables should be connected as shown.
• Shields should be unbraided (not a drain wire soldered to the shield).
• Connection lengths should be minimized.
• Safety ground (GND) and shield connections are permanently connected. This is essential
for electrical safety.
• EMC guidelines require connection of the shield at the point where the contactor is
The ODM-005, -005i, -010, -010i -020 and -020i drives require single phase, 100 to 240 VAC rms power
with an input frequency of 47 - 63 Hz. “Power” on page E-6 lists the output power characteristics of the
drives. The AC input supplies power to the motor. Alternatively, the drive may be powered by an external
DC power source. In either case, an external power source must provide input power to the I/O.

1. In the United States, the National Electric al Cod e (NEC), specif ies that fu ses mus t be sele cted
based on the motor full load amperage (FLA), which is not to be confused with the drive input
current. The largest fu se allow ed under an y circum stances is four tim es the moto r FLA. Theref ore
the largest fuse permissib le for use with the OMNIDRIVE is four times the motor rated conti nuous
current (converted to an RMS value). The Digital Servo Drive has been evaluated and listed by
Underwriters Laboratori es Inc. with fuses sized as four time s the con tinuou s outpu t current of th e
drives (FLA), according to UL 508C.
In almost all cases fuses selected to match the drive input current rating will meet the NEC
requirements and provide the full drive capabilities. Dual element, time delay (slow acting) fuses
should be used to avoid nuisance trips during the inrush current of power initialization. The fuse
sizes listed are recommended values, but local regulations must be determined and adhered to.
The OMNIDRIVE utilizes solid state motor short circuit protection rated as follows:
Suitable for use on a circuit capable of del ivering not more than 5000 RMS symmetrical Amp eres,
240 Volts maximum.
Suitable for use on a circui t capable of delivering not more than 2 00,000 RMS symmetrical Amperes,
240 Volts maximum, when protected by high interrupting capacity, current limiting fuses (Class
CC, G, J, L, R, T).
