Section 1: IntroductionSection 1: Introduction

Section 1: Introduction

The DPY50611 is a single-axis 5A bipolar microstep driver/controller containing 2 Kbytes of nonvolatile

stored programming space, quadrature encoder feedback, and a 125W power supply, all enclosed in a

package. It provides flexible, independent control of bipolar stepper motors with a current range from 0.5

to 5.0 amps/phase with microstepping resolutions from 200 steps per revolution to 12,800 steps per

revolution from a computer, or any machine controller with a serial port. It is also capable of standalone

operation, making it an embedded machine controller. The easy to use Windows software, SMC60WIN,

can be used to directly control motion and to program the DPY50611. The DPY50611 also has the ability

for real time functions.

The DPY50611 has 40 commands, which are easy-to-remember for direct movement of the stepper

motor and communicates via an USB data bus. A windows driver is provided to communicate with the

DPY50611 through a virtual comport from the PC. This driver will turn any USB port into a virtual comport,

thus enabling simple serial programs to send information to the DPY50611. To use the SMC60Win soft-

ware, the virtual comport driver must be installed. Special functions of the controller include 8 program-

mable open collector outputs and 6 TTL, CMOS and 24V compatible inputs, a quadrature encoder input

with the ability to autocorrect, an analog input to control either maximum speed or absolute position,

registration mark indexing during a slew command, an output that will trigger during an index command at

an absolute position, and a thumbwheel input for indexing a motor. The DPY50611 can be powered from

90-135 VAC, 50/60Hz,

DescriptionDescription

Description

The driver in the DPY50611 (MBC05641) is a microstep motor driver that can drive motors rated from 0.5

to 5.0 amps/phase. It can handle 4, 6 and 8-lead motors in a bipolar fashion. The DPY50611’s driver

features motor current ON/OFF capabilities and a Reduced Current Enable to automatically reduces

motor current to 50% of the set value after the last step is made (20msec delay). With the DPY50611,

various step resolutions can be implemented by the onboard dip switch. These divisions range from 200

steps per revolution to 12,800 steps per revolution. Protection devices have been added to this driver for

short circuit and open circuit conditions. The driver has built-in features to indicate power on (Green LED),

Clocks being received (Yellow LED) and fault conditions (Red LED).

The controller in the DPY50611 (PCL601USB) provides independent programming of acceleration/

deceleration, base speed (start up speed), max speed (running speed), jog speed, and the number of

steps to be taken in both relative and absolute positioning modes. On absolute positioning moves, the

DPY50611 automatically determines the proper direction to go and the number of steps to take. The

relative positioning will move a number of steps in the direction that the user defines. The DPY50611 also

has specific functions such as

encoder feed back, autocorrection, index-on-the-fly and output-on-the-fly

.

An analog input can be used to set either the maximum speed or goto an absolute position based between

the upper and lower programmable limits. A seven decade thumbwheel switch can be read for relative

indexing. The DPY50611 also has a high level programming command set that includes: branching,

looping,conditionalstatements,timedelays,textstrings,and I/O which the user canuse in theprogramming

mode to fully control all machine functionality. A home input, a set of bidirectional hard and soft limit switch

inputs and bidirectional jog inputs are provided for each axis. These features are generally required in

most machine control designs. 6 testable TTL, CMOS and 24V compatible inputs and 8 programmable

open-collector outputs are provided per axis. The I/O may be used for monitoring and controlling machine

operation and/or interaxis coordination. The I/O are accessible independent of the busy state of the axis

controls. The DPY50611 has a built-in programmable reset circuit. Reset is automatic on power-up, or by

pressing the external reset button.

Motor SelectionMotor Selection

Motor Selection

The DPY50611 incorporates a Bipolar Microstep Driver that is compatible with both Bipolar and Unipolar

Motor Configurations, (i.e. 8 and 4 lead motors, and 6 lead center tapped motors).

Step motors with low current ratings and high inductance will perform better at low speeds, providing

higher low-end torque. Motors with high current ratings and low inductance will perform better at higher

speeds, providing more high-end torque.

Since the DPY50611 is a constant current source, it is not necessary to use a motor that is rated at the

same voltage as the supply voltage. What is important is that the driver is set to the appropriate current

level based on the motor being used. Refer to the following chart for setting the current potentiometer

based on the current code in the part number of the motor. Examples of motor part numbers are shown

below. Anaheim Automation offers a comprehensive line of step motors in 14, 17, 23, 34 and 42 frame

sizes. Contact the factory to verify motor compatibility with the DPY50611.

When configuring the motor in a

series configurationseries configuration

series configuration

(connected from end to end with the center tap

floating) use the specified per Phase (or unipolar) current rating to determine the current setting potenti-

ometer value.

Reducing Output CurrentReducing Output Current

Reducing Output Current

Reducing the output current is accomplished by setting switch 1 of the DIP switch to the ON position and

occurs approximately 1 second after the last positive going edge of the step clock input. The amount of

current per phase in the reduction mode is approximately 50% of the set current. When the current

reduction circuit is activated, the current reduction resistor is paralleled with the current adjustment poten-

tiometer. This lowers the total resistance value, and thus lowers the per Phase output current.

Determining Output CurrentDetermining Output Current

Determining Output Current

The output current for the motor used when microstepping is determined differently from that of a full/half

step unipolar driver. In the DPY50611, a sine/cosine output function is used in rotating the motor. The

output current for a given motor is determined by the motors current rating and the wiring configuration of

the motor. There is a current adjustment potentiometer used to set the output current of the DPY50611.

This sets the peak output current of the sine/cosine waves. The specified motor current (which is the

unipolar value) is multiplied by a factor of 1.0, 1.4, or 2.0 depending on the motor configuration (series,

half-coil, or parallel).

Step Motor ConfigurationsStep Motor Configurations

Step Motor Configurations

Step motors can be configured as 4, 6, or 8 leads. Each configuration requires different currents. Refer to

the lead configurations and the procedures to determine their output current.

WARNING!WARNING!

WARNING! Step motors will run hot even when configured correctly. Damage may occur to the motor if

a higher than specified current is used. Most specified motor currents are maximum values. Care

should be taken to not exceed these ratings.

Section 3: Controller FunctionsSection 3: Controller Functions

Section 3: Controller Functions

Methods of CommunicationMethods of Communication

Methods of Communication

There are two methods for sending commands to the DPY50611. One is to directly talk to the DPY50611

by using Direct Talk Mode. This is usually used with a computer or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller),

where the computer or PLC gives the DPY50611 serial commands to off-load its processor. For example:

A PLC can utilize its outputs to toggle the DPY50611’s inputs and gain control of variable speeds, variable

programs, variable distances, etc. Simply using the DPY50611 as the intelligent pulse generator, a PLC

can remove some of the tasks that were not meant for ladder logic or any PLC processing time.

The second way to give commands to the DPY50611 is to use the software program SMC60WIN to either

manually control, or to write and send programs. This method is used when the DPY50611 is the main

controller. For example: A DPY50611 can replace simple motion control and replace I/O functional when

minimalquantities of I/Oarerequired to controlspecificmachinery. Simple motionprofilesthat can operate

with 6 or less inputs and 8 or less outputs can utilize a DPY50611 controller.

Baud RateBaud Rate

Baud Rate

A term used frequently in serial data communications, a “baud” is defined as the reciprocal of the shortest

pulse duration in a data word signal, including start, stop, and parity bits. This is often taken to mean the

same as “bits per second”, a term that expresses only the number of “data” bits per second. Very often,

the parity bit is included as an information or data bit. The DPY50611 accepts a baud rate of 38400 onlyThe DPY50611 accepts a baud rate of 38400 only

Axis SelectionAxis Selection

Axis Selection

Each DPY50611 is addressed using a programmable register allowing the PC to address up to 99

DPY50611’s from one port. The Default axis is “0”. To change the axis, use the SMC60WIN software or

the “~” command. To verify or check the axis, use the SMC60WIN software or the “%” command. The axis

designation is nonvolatile and will remain the same until changed by the user.

Controller Status LEDController Status LED

Controller Status LED

When powered and operated properly, the status LED will be green. When an error occurs, the LED will

change to RED, and an error code will be generated in the error code register. To read and clear the error

with the software, click on the “Verify Parameters” button located in the “Motion Tab”. To read and clear

the error while in “Direct Mode”, use the error code “!” command. Once the error has been read and

cleared, the LED will return to green and the error code register will be cleared to 0. Refer to the table on

page 39 for a complete list of the error codes.

Move Number of Steps:Move Number of Steps:

Move Number of Steps: This command causes the motion to start in the direction last specified. This

command will move the motor the number of steps given. (Range: 1 to 8388607)

Move to Position:Move to Position:

Move to Position: The move to position command specifies the next absolute position to go to. The

DPY50611 controller automatically sets the direction and number of steps needed to go to that position.

(Range: -8388607 to +8388607)

Slew:Slew:

Slew: The slew command will accelerate the motor up to maximum speed and continue to run at that

speed until reaching a registration mark, hard limit switch, soft limit switch, receiving a “.” (stop hard) or

“,” (stop soft) command.

Set Position:Set Position:

Set Position: The set position command sets the position register to a designated value. The number

will be the new absolute position of the motor. The default value is 0. (Range: -8388607 to +8388607)

Limit Switch Inputs:Limit Switch Inputs:

Limit Switch Inputs: The limit switch inputs are internally pulled up by a resistor making them normally

+5 volts. To activate the input, the pin must be grounded to (0VDC). All limit switch inputs are internally

clamped to +5V, thus allowing voltages of upto +24VDC to be used.

Hard Limit Inputs:Hard Limit Inputs:

Hard Limit Inputs: When a hard limit switch is encountered, the motion will stop immediately. The

position counter will also cease counting.

Hard limits are intended as an emergency stop for your

system. It should not be used to do any positioning type functions

. These limits are directional.

Soft Limit Inputs:Soft Limit Inputs:

Soft Limit Inputs: These switches should be used exclusively for homing. Once positioned properly

with the appropriate parameters, it causes the motor to ramp down to the base speed before encoun-

tering the home limit switch. However, the soft limit switch will work for any type of motion command.

These limits are directional.

NOTE: Whenever a soft limit switch is activated, the motor will decelerate and run at base speed during

an indexing move, or stop during a slewing move. Be sure to come back past the soft limit switch to set

any origins, otherwise the motor will decelerate as it goes past the soft limit switch during normal

operation.

Home Limit Input:Home Limit Input:

Home Limit Input: This switch is used to establish a position designated “home” or datum position

using the following: home to

soft and home limit

, or home to

home limit

. This limit is not directional.

Home to Soft, Home Limit (2 Switch Operation):Home to Soft, Home Limit (2 Switch Operation):

Home to Soft, Home Limit (2 Switch Operation): This type of homing routine requires two grounding

type limit switches called home and soft. The first limit switch seen is the soft limit. This will decelerate

the motor down to base speed. The motor will then continue to run at base speed until it contacts the

home limit switch input causing the motor to stop. The home limit switch activates as a hard limit if a

soft limit is not sensed. The soft limit is directional, meaning that it will work in only one direction as

specified. The soft limit switch will work for any type of motion command. The home limit switch will

work only for the two home motion commands.

NOTE: There should be sufficient distance between the two limit switches, as to let the motor reach

base speed.

Home to Home Limit (1 Switch Operation)Home to Home Limit (1 Switch Operation)

Home to Home Limit (1 Switch Operation): This type of homing differs in that only one limit switch is

needed. In this homing routine the motor moves toward the home limit switch. When the home limit

switch is contacted the motor will ramp down to base speed, reverse direction and continue at base

speed until the limit switch is released. This is a good way to compensate for any backlash in a sys-

tem. It is also useful for minimizing the number of limit switches needed for homing.

NOTE: The home switch needs to be low during the entire deceleration and reversing time.

#L010196 September 2005

Jog Inputs:Jog Inputs:

Jog Inputs: The jog switch inputs are internally pulled up by a resistor making them normally +5 volts.

To activate the input, the pin must be grounded to (0VDC). All jog switch inputs are internally clamped

to +5V, thus allowing voltages of upto +24VDC to be used. Jog is a manual function. The user can

select the direction and speed (fast or slow) by grounding the appropriate combinations of inputs. To

jog a motor, it is necessary to ground the jog input for the direction desired. For fast jog, both the fast

input and jog input for the appropriate direction must be low at the same time. By grounding one of the

jog inputs, the user causes the motor to run at base speed. When the fast input is grounded, the motor

will then accelerate to the programmed jog speed. The position register will keep track of the number of

steps that are taken during jogging. Once a +jog or a -jog function has been performed, the direction

register will retain the last direction of movement; that is, a subsequent go command will be in the same

direction as the last jog command.

Inputs:Inputs:

Inputs: All inputs (except input 1) are internally pulled up by a resistor making them normally +5 volts.

To activate the input, the pin must be grounded to (0VDC). All inputs are internally clamped to +5V,

thus allowing voltages of upto +24VDC to be used. Six inputs are provided per axis. The inputs are

TTL, CMOS and 24V compatible. The inputs may be used to initiate a machine cycle, for inter-axis

coordination (in stored program mode), for operator intervention, for sensing a machine condition such

as out of stock or wait for temperature to be reached, etc. A grounded input will read a “0” and an open

or high input will read as a “1”. Input 1 is a special input that is capable of reading an analog voltage

between 0 and +5VDC. Since this input does not have a pull-up resistor, biasing of this input is needed

if it is not used as an analog input. Inputs 5 and 6 are used together with the thumbwheel switch. To

use inputs 5 and 6, SW2 must be in the IN5/6 position. If SW2 is in the TWS position, then these two

inputs are not connected to the processor.

Analog Input:Analog Input:

Analog Input: Input 1 can be configured to read an analog voltage to either set the absolute position of

the motor or to set the maximum speed of the motor.

To set the positionTo set the position

To set the position, when told via the

goto analog position

command, the input will read a voltage

between 0 and +5VDC and based on the” upper and lower” limits of the function, a move will occur to a

calculated position between the two limits. The motor must finish the move before it can be told to read

the input again for the next position. For example, if the lower limit is set to 0 and the upper limit is set

to 5000 and the analog position is set at +2.0VDC, then the motor will move to position 2000. Changing

the lower limit to 1000 and the voltage to +3.2VDC, the motor will move to position 3560. See examples

below for calculations of the analog inputs. (Range of limits: 0 to 65535 and the lower limit < upper limit)

To set the max speedTo set the max speed

To set the max speed, when told via the

set analog speed

command the input will read a voltage

between 0 and +5VDC, and based on the “upper and lower” limits of the function, a max speed can be

obtained based on a calculated frequency between the two points. The speed however can not be

changed when the DPY50611 is busy (moving). See examples below for calculations of the analog

inputs. (Range of limits: 0 to 50000 and the lower limit < upper limit)

Lower + X = Position or Frequency 0 + 2000 = 2000 1000 + 2560 = 3560

Outputs:Outputs:

Outputs: Eight outputs are provided per axis. Outputs may be used to operate relays, coolant valves,

air cylinders, or, with the correct interfacing, any electronically controlled device. The outputs can drive

all types of common peripheral power loads, including lamps, relays, solenoids, LED’s, printer heads,

and heaters. For inductive loads, it will be necessary to connect a clamping diode (refer to specification

section) from the output to the power source in order to provide adequate fly-back protection. The

outputs are current sinking, open collector darlingtons. They are capable of sinking up to 100mA per

output with voltages up to 40VDC. Turning an output on will pull the output pin to ground and turning an

output off will make the output pin open. Output 1 has a special function

(output on the fly

) that will

enable it to be triggered at a certain absolute position during a move. Output 8 has a special function

that will trigger when the encoder retries function fails.

16

#L010196 September 2005

Output on the fly:Output on the fly:

Output on the fly: This special function enables output 1 to turn on during a relative index or absolute

move. There are three critical portions of information needed to make this function work correctly. First,

output 1 will turn on (0VDC) for a preset delay of 50uS at a specific absolute position set by the

1st

output position

command. Second, the output can then repeat this after a preset amount of steps set by

the

number of steps between outputs

command, and third a predetermined amount of times to set the

output is required by the

number of outputs

command which determines the preset amount of times to

trigger the output. So if you start at position 0 and want to move to an absolute position of 10,000, you

can set output 1 to turn on at position 2000, and every 1000 steps after that 5 times. So at position

2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 output 1 will turn on for 50uS. To only have the output turn on at one

position set both the “

number of steps between outputs

” and the “

number of outputs

” commands to 0.

This function must be enabled, and will only work during a relative index or absolute position move. The

output will trigger while going in either direction. If you do not want the output to trigger in the negative

direction, the function must be turned off before the index move is started.

Index on the Fly:Index on the Fly:

Index on the Fly: This special function uses Input 2 when a motor is slewing to move a predetermined

amount of steps, set with the registration index command, before stopping. This function must be

enabled, and will only work during a slew move. The registration index must be set before movement

begins. (Range: 1 to 8388607)

End of Program:End of Program:

End of Program: The end of program command, used within a stored program, stops execution of the

program. This command must be used at the end of all programs.

Wait:Wait:

Wait: In stored program mode, the wait command pauses the program for the specified number of

milliseconds. (Range: 1 to 65535)

If/Then Statements:If/Then Statements:

If/Then Statements: The if/then statements are conditional based on the values preset in the program.

The user can either test each individual input or all inputs at once. If the input or input register matches

the given value or values, then the program will execute the next line. If the input or input register does

not match the given value, the program will skip the next line and execute the following line. An open

input is read as a 1, and a grounded input is read as a 0.

Branching or Goto Statements:Branching or Goto Statements:

Branching or Goto Statements: The goto instruction will have the program jump to the given label. If

no label is in the program, it will error when trying to send.

Return from Subroutine:Return from Subroutine:

Return from Subroutine: This function can be placed anywhere in the program as long as a goto

statement has been already executed. The program will jump back to the last goto statement encoun-

tered and execute the next line in the program.

Inner and Outer Loop:Inner and Outer Loop:

Inner and Outer Loop: The loop instructions allow the user to loop a program a variable number of

times. The program will loop to the designated label location of the program. However , the label must

always be at a lower line number than the loop instruction itself. You can only nest inner loops inside an

outer loop. You may not nest an inner loop inside an inner loop, or an outer loop inside an outer loop.

Multiple nested inner loops are allowed in one outer loop.

Finish Move:Finish Move:

Finish Move: When writing a program, the finish move command is used directly after every motion

command. When using this command, the DPY50611 internally generates a busy signal and will wait

until the move is complete before executing any further commands. Unless the finish move command is

used, the DPY50611 will continue to execute the program. If it encounters a command that cannot be

used when the motor is moving, the DPY50611 will error and stop the program prematurely.

Repeat Last Move:Repeat Last Move:

Repeat Last Move: This command will move the motor the number of steps given in the last indexing

move. This command will not work correctly if the encoder autocorrect function is enabled.

17

#L010196 September 2005

Encoder Commands:Encoder Commands:

Encoder Commands: The DPY50611 controller is capable of using a quadrature incremental encoder

with A and B channels.

Encoder Auto Correct:Encoder Auto Correct:

Encoder Auto Correct: This command will enable or disable the encoder feature of the DPY50611.

When enabled, the encoder function will compare the desired position with the actual encoder position.

If it is not in the correct position a correction move will be made.

Encoder DelayEncoder Delay

Encoder Delay: This sets the wait time, which is a specified number of milliseconds after a relative

index or absolute move is finished, prior to reading the encoder. This is used to remove the ringing that

might be associated with the mechanics of the system. (Range: 0 to 65535)

Encoder Motor Ratio:Encoder Motor Ratio:

Encoder Motor Ratio: This represents the ratio for the number of encoder pulses to one motor step.

This ratio must be a whole number. For example, given a 1000 line quadrature encoder and a 400 step/

revolution motor, the motor ratio is (1000 * 4) / 400 = 10 (Range: 1 to 255 and must be a whole num-

ber)

Encoder Retries:Encoder Retries:

Encoder Retries: This is the number of times the DPY50611 will try to autocorrect the motor shaft

position before producing an error. When the error is produced, Output 8 is triggered. (Range: 0 to 255)

Encoder Window:Encoder Window:

Encoder Window: This is the allowable error in encoder pulses (either plus or minus) from the desired

position that is allowed before the motor autocorrects. (Range: 0 to 255)

Thumbwheel Index:Thumbwheel Index:

Thumbwheel Index: This special function allows a thumbwheel with up to 7 decades to be used with

the DPY50611 to set a relative index. To use the thumbwheel, SW2 must be in the TWS position or the

thumbwheel will be disabled.

Acceleration/Deceleration:Acceleration/Deceleration:

Acceleration/Deceleration: The acceleration and deceleration are the same value. The acceleration is

entered directly as steps/sec2and controls the time that the motor will take to move from base speed to

max speed, and from max speed to base speed. The higher the value, the faster the motor will acceler-

ate. The same principal applies for the deceleration which is controlling the time it takes to go from the

max speed to base speed. (Range: 100 to 9,999,999)

Base Speed:Base Speed:

Base Speed: The base speed is the speed at which motion starts and stops. It is entered directly as

the number of steps per second. This speed must always be less than the max speed and jog speed.

(Range: 1 to 5000)

Max Speed:Max Speed:

Max Speed: The max speed is the top speed the user wants the motor to run. This speed must always

be greater than the base speed. It is entered directly as the number of steps per second.

(Range: 1 to 50000)

Jog Speed:Jog Speed:

Jog Speed: The jog speed sets the fast jog rate. Jog (+/-) is used to run at base speed. The FJOG pin,

when grounded, will ramp the motor to the set jog speed. This speed must always be greater than the

base speed. It is entered directly as the number of steps per second. (Range: 1 to 50000)

Motor Current:Motor Current:

Motor Current: This command will control the on/off output which is designed to connect to the on/off

input of Anaheim Automation’s step motor drivers. To energize and allow current to flow through the

coil of the motor, set the value to on. To de-energize and turn the current off to the motor, set the value

to off. This is a dedicated output and not controlled with the output register.

Verify:Verify:

Verify: The verify command causes the DPY50611 controller to send data back to the PC or PLC. The

data is sent as an ASCII decimal string followed by a carriage return and a line feed. The verify com-

mands are shown in the table on page 34.
