OUTPUT CURRENT SECTIO N 7.1 DETERM INING THE OUTPUT CURRENT For any given motor, the OUTPUT CURRENT used for MICROSTEPPING is determi ned different ly from that of a HALF/FULL STEP driver. In the IM481H, a sine/cosine output function is used in rotat ing the motor. Therefore, when microst epping, the specified phase current of the motor is consider[...]

SECTION 7.2 SETTING OUTPUT CURRENT The OUTPUT CURRENT on the IM481H is set by applying a voltage to pin 5 (current adjustment). The output current is set as follows: PEAK OUTPUT CURRENT (Amps) = Volts applied to pin 5 EXAMPLE: 1.4 volts applied to pin 5 will set the peak output current of the IM481H to 1.4 amps per phase. To generate the reference [...]

POWER R EQUIREM ENTS SECTIO N 9.1 MOTOR POW ER Pins 11 (ground), and 12 (+V) are used to c onnect the motor DC power to the IM481H. Two local capacit ors are needed, connected between pins 11 and 12 and locat ed as close to the pins as possi ble, to insure stable operation. The first capacit or is a low impedance, aluminum electrolytic. The continu[...]

SECTIO N 9.2 +5 VDC INPUT The IM481H requires an external regul ated +5Vdc power supply. The supply is connected between pins 11 (ground), and 14 (+5vdc). A 22 microfarad 10v tantilum capacitor must be placed as close to the IM481H as possible between the +5vdc input pin (14) and ground. The +5vdc supply ground and the motor supply ground shoul d n[...]

SECTIO N 10 LAYOUT AND INTERF ACE GUIDELINES Logic level signals should not run parallel to motor phase signals. The motor phase signals will introduce noise into the logic level signals and can make the system unreliable. Motor phase signals should run as pairs and should be separated f rom other signals by ground traces where possi ble. When leav[...]

SECTIO N 12 FULLSTEP OUTPUT SIGNAL The FULLSTEP output signal from the IM481H is an active high output at pin 18. This output is TRUE for the duration of the full step. A full st ep occurs when either Phase A or Phase B cross t hrough zero (i.e. full c urrent in one winding and zero current in the other winding). This f ullstep position is a c ommo[...]

CURRENT REDUCTION RESISTOR SECTIO N 15 AUTOM A T IC CURRENT REDUCTION Built into the IM481H is the ability to automatically reduce the current in the motor windings after t he completion of a move. The reduction occ urs approximately .5 s econds after the last positive going edge of the Step Clock input. The IM481H w ill then revert back to the ori[...]

SECTIO N 16 FA ULT P ROTE CTION The IM481H is internally protect ed against over temperature, and over current. The over temperature set point is between 60 and 70 °C. Care should be taken when choosing and installing a heat sink so that there is a good thermal conduction, otherwise hot spots may occur in the IM481H w hich will reduce the operatin[...]
