**Consult Factory for Availability.

Optional communication protocols

include CANopen. The CAN bus is 2.0B

active (11 and/or 29 bit) and is capable

of all standard frequencies from 10 kHz

to 1 MHz. CANopen features include

node guarding, heartbeat producer,

SDOs and PDOs. Highlights include

variable PDO mapping and extended

node identifi er.

The MDrive42AC Plus

2

Motion Control

is available with optional closed loop

control. This increases functionality by

adding stall detection, position mainte-

nance and fi nd index mark.

The closed loop confi guration is added

via a 512 line (2048 edge) optical

encoder with index mark, internal to the

MDrive42AC so there is no increase in

length. Or, for an expanded choice of

line counts and resolutions, closed loop

control is available with an interface

to a remotely mounted user-supplied

external encoder.

In addition to encoder options, the

MDrive42AC Plus

2

Motion Control has

the capability of electronic gearing by

following a rotary or linear axis at an

electronically controlled ratio, or an

output clock can be generated fi xed to

the internal step clock.

A sealed version designed to meet

IP65 specifi cations is also available.

The sealed assembly allows the

MDrive42AC to be used in environ-

ments where exposure to chemical,

dust and liquids may occur.

Two rotary motor lengths are available

as are linear actuators with long life

Acme screw**.

In ter face con nec tions are ac com plished

using standard industrial circular con-

nectors. And connectivity has never

been easier with options ranging from

all-inclusive QuickStart Kits

to

indi-

vidual interfacing cables

.

FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

The MDrive42AC Plus2 Motion Control

system of fers de sign ers a cost effec-

tive, full featured programmable motion

con trol ler in te grat ed with a NEMA 42 high

torque 1.8° brushless step motor and a

microstepping driver operating at 120 or

240 VAC.

Unsurpassed smoothness and perfor-

mance delivered by the MDrive42AC are

achieved through IMS's advanced 2nd

generation current control. By applying

innovative techniques to control current

fl ow through the motor, resonance is sig-

nifi cantly dampened over the entire speed

range and audible noise is reduced.

The MDrive42AC accepts a broad input

voltage range from 95 to 264 VAC, deliv-

ering enhanced performance and speed.

Oversized input capacitors are used to

minimize power line surges, reducing

problems that can occur with long cable

runs and multiple drive systems. An ex-

tended operating range of –40° to +75°C

provides long life, trouble free service in

demanding environments.

The MDrive42AC Plus

2

Motion Control

system adds a versatile array of func tions

by com bin ing a full featured pro gram -

ma ble mo tion controller with our com pact

and cost ef fec tive MDrive42AC Micro-

stepping products, adding little cost and

no increase in size. Stan dard of fer ings

include up to 8 general pur pose I/O lines

(sourcing or sinking) that operate to +24

VDC, one 10 bit analog in put, electronic

gearing, high speed position capture

input/trip output, microstep res o lu tions up

to 51,200 steps per rev o lu tion, 0 to 5 MHz

step clock rate, and a full fea tured easy-

to-program in struc tion set.

The MDrive42AC Plus

2

Motion Control

system com mu ni cates over RS-422/485

which al lows for point-to-point or multiple

unit con fi g u ra tions utilizing one com mu -

ni ca tion port. Addressing and hard ware

support multiple uniquely addressed units

com mu ni cat ing over a single line.
