MSE570 data sheet page 3 of 5 issue 002 monitor outputs pin 12 c home phase output. this output is low when the output phases are in their initial home state pattern. this state is repeated in four full steps or eight half steps. pins 20 a overload output. this output will go low and remain latched low, if an overload or short circuit is detected. the motor output will also be disabled. this condition may be reset by either pulling the reset input low or removing the power pins 20 c overtemperature output. this output will go low if the thermal sensor option is fitted and the heatsink gets too hot. this condition may be latched by setting sw1-2 (lt) on so that the drive doesn?t suddenly become active when the heatsink cools. this condition may be reset by either pulling the reset input low or removing the power. the motor output may also be disabled automatically by setting sw1-1 (dt) on. if no thermal sensor is fitted then this output will be low. current programming pin 18 c current program input. the motor current may be reduced from the value set on the dip switch by connecting a resistor from this input to 0v. this may be used to set the phase current by the connector the unit is plugged into, or to reduce the motor current on application of an external signal such as at standstill. multi-axis synchronisation pin 12 a sync input/output. this connection may be used to synchronise the chopping frequency between a number of drive cards by connecting them together. one drive is selected as the master; the others are slaves and should have their chopping oscillators disabled by setting sw1-4 on. auxiliary power outputs pin 26 a auxiliary +12v output. 50ma maximum. pin 26 c auxiliary +5v output. 50ma maximum. on board oscillator (option) pin 22 a vco speed control input. applying a control voltage between 0v and +12v will proportionally vary the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator (if fitted). pin 22 c vco output. this 12v cmos output of the voltage controlled oscillator (if fitted) may be connected directly the step pulse input (14 c). pin 24a vco base speed control. a resistance to 0v sets the base speed of the voltage controlled oscillator (if fitted). pin 24 c vco run/stop input. pulling this input low enables the voltage controlled oscillator (if fitted). configuration a four way dip switch is provided for certain configuration options. sw1-1 (dt) disable on overtemperature. if this switch is on and the thermal sensor (option) gets too hot, then the motor output will be automatically disabled to prevent overheating. if no thermal sensor is fitted, then this should be left off. sw1-2 (lt) latch overtemperature. if this switch is on and the thermal sensor (option) gets too hot, then the overtemperature condition will be latched. this will prevent unexpected re-energisa tion of the drive, when the heatsink cools back down. the latched condition may be reset by either pulling the reset input low or removing the power. sw1-3 (cc) current control type. this sw itch determines whether the current control chopping is executed on the upper drive transistors or the lower dr ive transistors. this would normally be left off for more efficient use, but may have small advantages of current control on low current settings. sw1-4 (ss) slave sync. if this switch is on, the chopping oscillator is inhibited. this should only be used on slave units in multi-axis synchronised sy stems, where another unit provides a master chopping signal.

MSE570 data sheet page 5 of 5 issue 002 oscillator operation the normal method of oscillator operation is as follows: 1. the oscillator is started at the base speed by switching the run switch on with the base/high speed switch set to base. this base speed is a frequency offset and should be chosen to be safely within the pull-in capability of the motor/drive combination, and ideally above the resonant frequency range. this base speed is defined by c-freq and the setting of vr1. 2. the high speed may be selected by switching the base/high speed switch to high. the oscillator will then ramp up to the high speed. this high speed is set by vr2, whose range is defined by r-freq and c-freq. the ramp rate is determined by the time constant of r27 (100k ? ) and c-ramp. 3. the oscillator may then be slowed back down to the base speed by switching the base/high speed back to base. 4. when the speed has dropped down to the base setting the oscillator may be inhibited by switching the run switch off. the motor should only be started, stopped or have a direction change whilst at the base speed. base speed high speed 13 24 component selection the following components need to be soldered onto the pcb: ic8 cd4046 cmos pll ic (used as vco) r-freq resistor 1k ? -1m ? (typ 5.6k ? ) c-freq capacitor >100pf (typ 10nf) c-ramp capacitor (typ 10 f) p3 optional molex connector if using front panel controls the following external components are required to complete the oscillator: vr1 pot 0 - 1m ? (typ 1 m ? ) vr2 pot 1 k ? first determine the base speed and the maximum high speed you wish to obtain. using the graph below select a value for c-freq for the chosen pot vr1 100k 100p 1 10 100 1k 10k 1 100n 10n 1n c-freq (f) required base speed (hz) vr1=100k ? vr1=1m ? vr1=0 ? then from the ratio of the maximum running speed to the base speed, use the following graph to select r-freq. 100 0.1 1 10 100 10 1 vr1+10k ? /r-freq max speed/base speed caution! 1. serious damage will occur if any motor lead is connected or becomes disconnected whilst the drive is energised. 2. the drive board should always be mounted such that the heatsink fins are vertical i.e. with the board on edge, and adequate clearance be given top and bottom i.e. 25 mm minimum. when rack mounting the board there should be at least a 15 mm clearance between the heatsink and an adjacent board. if the airflow around t he unit is restricted, then force air cooling should be employed. 3. when using the drive at high ambient temperatures or at slow speeds or at standstill, whilst at high current settings, it will prove advantageous to employ forced air cooling. 4. motor and power supply connections should be made with at least 32/0.2 mm wire due to the high peak currents flowing. all other control wiring may use 7/0.2 mm. 5. good engineering practices should be employed in the commissioning of this product and should be made to adhere to all relevant regulations.
