Setting the Current
CAUTION! DO NOT SET THE CURRENT ABOVE THE MOTOR’S RATED
CURRENT.
In order to set the correct current for your motor, you must program the specified
current in LinCommand (or whatever software program is being used).
Current is set based on the Maximum amount of current the controller board can
output, which is 2.0 Amps Peak. Drivers are Amps-Peak, motors are Amps/Phase.
Below is a table of how much current will be applied to your motor for each setting.

Table 6: Desired Current
To achieve the equivalent Driver Current (Amps Peak), multiply the motor’s
rated current by 1.4. Follow these examples:
Example One:
You have a motor that is rated at 0.85 Amps, 0.85 Amps x 1.4 = ~1.2 Amps. Using
Table 6 we would see that 1.2 Amps is 60% of the driver’s maximum output current.
Assuming the Silverpak is addressed to Number 1, this is what you’d program:
/1m60R
Example Two:
You have a motor that is rated at 1.0 Amps, and your Controller is addressed to
Number 1, this is what you’d program: /1m70R
This will set the controller to 1.4 Amps Peak. How did we get 1.4 Amps? 1.0
Amps x 1.4 = 1.4 A
See page 21, “Peak current versus Amps/Phase”for a detailed explanation.
WARNING!: Setting the Current to a value greater than the Motor’s rated
current will damage your motor, and may overheat the controller.

Connecting Multiple Silverpak17C’s
If using the USB485 converter card, connect all the power and ground lines on the
units to the main power supply. Then daisy chain the RS485+ and RS485- lines prior
to plugging into the USB485 card. Be sure to also ground the USB485 card with Pin
2, ground. All connections must be completed BEFORE applying power.
Figure 7: Connection using USB485Converter Card
If using the RS232-to-RS485 converter card, daisy chain all four wires: power,
ground, RS485+ and RS485- prior to plugging into the converter card.

Any of the four inputs can be connected to a push button. In our example above,
pin 5 corresponds to input #4, therefore, if you want to program the motor to wait
until this button is pressed in order to begin movement, your program would look
something like this:
/1H04P50000R
H04 means to Halt until it sees a low, or 0, on input #4
P5000 move the motor in the positive direction by 5000 steps
R is to run this string of commands
The motor should send the command P5000 once the button has been pressed,
otherwise, it will continue to wait at “H04”
LED or other output
The two I/O lines, pins 2 & 8, can drive an external device such as solenoids, LED’s,
or switches. The bidirectional I/O’s are switches to ground internally, and therefore
need to be connected to the +V of the power supply. Below is a recommended
connection for lighting an LED with 20m Amps:
Figure 10: LED Connection Schematic
Upon entering command /1J0R, both pins 2 & 8 will output 1 Amps. The 1.2k ohm
resistor will limit the current to 20m Amps into the LED. Select any ohm value to
limit your current based on the device that is connected to the output.
I/O’s are 24VDC tolerant.

To home to your optical sensor, use the Z command and state the max number of
steps you want it to search for home. The unit will either stop at the opto sensor or
when it finishes moving your designated number of steps. For example:
/1Z500000R
Motor will take 500,000 steps and stop OR Motor will stop once the optical sensor
has been interrupted. Only input #3 can work with the optical sensor.
The LED output on pin 9 can output a max of 20mAmps (200 ohms internal resistor
and 5VDC output)

Encoder Usage
The Silverpak 17CE is not a closed loop system. The encoder does not connect to
the controller/driver. A separate PLC or controller system that can talk to the R256
board and understand the E2 encoder can create a closed loop system.
The Silverpak 17CE can also be used as reference to home by connecting to an US
Digital E2 Encoder. The pinouts are as follows:
Pin Number
Function
1
Ground
2
Index
3
Channel A
4
+ 5 VDC
5
Channel B
Table 9
The E2 encoder requires a separate +5 Volt power supply, as the Silverpak17CE
cannot provide a strong enough source of power.
In order to use the Indexer as a reference to home, connect Pin 2 from the encoder to
one of the inputs on the controller. From the controller’s side, for best results use Pin
5, the switch closure to ground.
In addition, use a pull-down resistor (10k Ω) to ensure that the controller will recognize
the difference between high and low (4.85V and 0.5V).
Figure 12: Encoder Pin Connection Schematic
After successfully connecting the encoder to the controller, now you can program the
controller to run continuously. The motor will stop movement when the indexer goes
high. This will send the high signal to Pin 5 on the controller.
If using channel 1, use this command to start the homing routine:
/1P0R

8. Troubleshooting & FAQ
Communication problem between computer and controller:
Is the correct COM Port selected? Use an operating system of Windows 98 or higher.
Are you working on a Laptop? Sometimes there is a shift in Ground on Laptop Serial
Ports. Pin 5 on the Serial Port is Ground. Make sure that this is connected to a true
ground.
Is the LED flashing on the bottom of the Silverpak17C? A flashing light indicates it is
waiting for Commands and power is OK. Motor shaft should be difficult to rotate.
Check the Converter Card. Use a voltmeter to measure if Power is coming into the
card correctly and if power is being supplied to the Controller properly.
Can communicate with LinCommand, but no motor movement:
Check the LED on the back of the Silverpak 17C. If there is no LED lit, the problem
may be the Power Supply, check the connections. If you see one LED that flashes on
and off about 5 seconds at a time, then power is OK.
Is the Silverpak17C set to the correct Address? Check the Dial on the bottom of the
unit. The arrow should be pointing to the corresponding Address. Make sure that
the arrow is not between 2 Addresses. Use a small screw to verify that it clicks in
place.
Check the Converter Card. Use a voltmeter to measure if Power is coming into the
card correctly and if power is being supplied to the Controller.
Note the description of the following response strings.
/0' indicates that the command is terminated
/0@ indicates good command and that it was received correctly
/0C indicates that the command is out of range
/0b indicates bad command
The unit is by default, set to 256 microsteps. Therefore, by typing in a position
move of /1P200R, you will not see anything. It takes 51,200 steps to make one
revolution, so try a large value, like /1P100000R
Silverpak 17C will accept commands, but the Motor will stall in the middle of
a command:
This means there is not enough current being supplied to the Motor. Use the m
command to change the current, or run the Motor at a Lower Speed (V command).
Or, make the motor accelerate slower using the L command.
Halt Command (H01) Issues
There are known issues involving the Halt command (i.e., H01) when stored in
memory location zero. Upon power up, the remaining command string after the Halt
command might be executed if the user types in a new command. If memory
location zero is not being used, the user is advised to always clear everything in
memory by typing /1?9. Otherwise, the user may terminate the remaining
command string in the buffer by issuing a /1T.

finished moving or moved to a certain position. How do I do it?
To turn on a LED to confirm that the motor finished moving you must use the “J”
command in the command list section On/Off Drivers. We are assuming the unit
executes the command sent. We cannot detect skipping because the set up is open
loop. Example: /1P200J10R, is a position move 200 steps, then turn on driver 2.
See Figure 10.
What’s the minimum and maximum voltage the RS485 to RS 232 Converter
Card can handle?
Min and Max voltage levels: +7 to +40 VDC
Using a PLC to communicate with board
After the command, you need to issue a carriage return and linefeed.
Example: /1A1000R (absolute position move 1000). After the R, send a 0x0d
in hex.

Reinstall USB485 driver
1. Go to Windows Device Manager
2. Under the Ports Section, the USB485 should show as
the
“Prolific PL2303GL USB Serial COM Port (COM
XX)”
3. If it does not show as this, it might show as the “USB
Serial Controller”.
4. If so, right click on this and “Update the driver”. The
name should change to the above as intended.
5. If it does not, please go this link to download and
install the driver from the original Chip manufacturer.
6. Select the PL23XX-M_LogoDriver_Setup.exe and
install. The name should now populate to “Prolific
PL2303GL USB Serial COM Port (COM XX)”
7. When you send a command via Lin Command, a
Yellow and Green light will blink to show that the
command has been sent successfully.
