1. INTRODUCTION
It is important that you understand how this SLO-SYN® SS2000MD7
Translator/Drive is installed and operated before you attempt to use it.
We strongly recommend that you read this manual completely
before proceeding with the installation of this unit.
This manual is an installation and operation guide to the SLO-SYN
SS2000MD7 (MD7-128) Translator Drive. Section 1 provides an
overview of the drive and its features. Section 2 lists the steps
necessary to place the drive into operation. General wiring information
and the physical mounting of the unit and connections to the drive are
covered in Section 3.
The complete specifications provide easily-referenced information
concerning electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements as
well as information for setting the motor current level.
Torque versus speed characteristics with appropriate SLO-
motors are shown in Section 5. Troubleshooting in Section 6 provides
procedures to follow if the Translator/Drive fails to operate properly.
1.1. Product Features
The SLO-SYN SS2000MD7 (MD7-128) Translator/Drive is a bipolar,
speed adjustable, two-phase PWM drive that uses power MOSFET
devices. The MD7 is set to operate a stepper motor in 1/2, 1/10, 1/25,
or 1/100 microsteps. The MD7-128 is set to operate a stepper motor in
full, 1/16, 1/64, or 1/128 microsteps. The maximum running speed is
3,000 rpm. To reduce the chances of electrical noise, the control signals
are optically isolated from the drive circuit.
