Introduction
This installation guide describes the Bell stepper drive and the steps for its wiring, installation
and power-up. Following these guidelines ensures maximum functionality of the drive and the
system to which it is connected.
2.1. Drive Description
Elmo Motion Control’s Bell is an intelligent digital stepper drive designed to add stepper
technology to the SimplIQ product family. The Bell can deliver up to 500 W of continuous
power or 1,000 W of peak power in a compact package.
The Bell is the outcome of many years of designing and manufacturing motion control
products. Developed to meet OEM application requirements, the stepper drive offers a
desirable solution providing networking and intelligent programming capabilities while using
lower cost stepper motors. Additionally, designed as a PCB mounted device, the drive can be
implemented efficiently and at low cost.
The Bell incorporates Elmo’s highly efficient and compact power density design together with
the rich feature set of the SimplIQ DSP core motion control technology. The combination of the
Bell’s programming flexibility, wide variety of feedbacks to close the velocity or position loop (if
required) and CAN networking capabilities, makes it an ideal, cost effective solution.
The Bell drive is easily set up and tuned using Elmo’s Composer software tools, and the tuning
tools of Digital Feedback Technologies. These Windows-based applications enable users to
quickly and simply configure the stepper drive for optimal use with their motor.
