GETTING STARTED
NI 7330/7340/7350 Motion Controllers and
P7000 Series Stepper Drives
This manual helps you quickly install and configure the P7000 series stepper drives and stepper motors
for use with NI 7330, NI 7340, and NI 7350 motion controllers. It assumes you have already installed
your National Instruments motion controller and driver software. The driver CD installs the
NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) configuration files and documents referenced in this
manual. You can find all the software, files, and documents at ni.com/motion/stepper.
Additionally, this manual assumes you are using either the NI Universal Motion Interface (UMI)-7764
or NI UMI-7774/7772 and have the appropriate 68-pin cable for connecting to your NI motion
controller. Refer to the NI Stepper Motion System Selection Guide at ni.com/motion/stepper for
assistance. For specifications or installation questions about your NI motion controller or NI UMI, refer
to the appropriate user manual.

Configuration and Installation
You can configure the P7000 series stepper drives using the external DIP switches or with software
through the RS-232 port. If you have an NI stepper motor, you can configure the drive and motor using
only the DIP switches. If you have a third-party motor, you must use the P7000 Tools configuration
software.
Complete the following steps to configure your stepper drive and motor:
Step 1: Connecting the Stepper Motor to the Drive
Connect the stepper motor as shown in Figure 3. The NI stepper motors are highly recommended,
as they are optimized to work with the P7000 series stepper drives.
Caution Do not hot-plug the motor connector. Also, avoid “whiskers” from stranded phase leads
protruding from the motor plug.

The NI stepper motor wire color code is shown in Table 1.
Note To reverse the motor rotation direction, do one of the following:
• Switch A– with A+
• Switch B– with B+
• Switch A–, A+ with B–, B+
National Instruments offers several standard stepper motors that provide optimum performance when
matched with the P7000 series stepper drive. The motors have a four flying lead configuration. If your
motor has six or eight leads, consult your distributor or the factory for assistance.
Step 2: Configuring the DIP Switches
Configure the DIP switches as follows for proper operation of your P7000 series stepper drive.
Figure 4 shows switches S2–1 through S2–12 in the OFF position for the P70360 drive.

Load Inertia
The P7000 series stepper drives eliminate the resonance typical of step motors with high-speed, digital
processing of motor electrical activity. To use this feature, you must set three switches based on the
load-to-rotor inertia ratio. These switches select the gain parameter the drive uses to stabilize the motor.
You can calculate the load inertia by hand or by using the Motioneering sizing software. If you do not
know your inertia ratio, set the DIP switches to OFF for a load-to-rotor inertia ratio of 0–1.
Table 7 lists the load inertia switch settings.

Dynamic Smoothing
Dynamic smoothing is a temporal filter (second-order, low-pass) applied to the command sequence to
reduce jerk. It helps reduce overshoot and lessens the excitation of mechanical resonance in the system.
It filters from slightly below the resonant frequency up to well above resonance to remove spectral
content that would be misrepresented in the motor output and may also excite other parts of the machine.
Dynamic smoothing is a very powerful feature for achieving maximum torque from the motor. However,
it is difficult to optimize and is not necessary for the vast majority of applications. Therefore, National
Instruments recommends setting both DIP switches to OFF for minimal smoothing.
Table 8 lists the dynamic smoothing switch settings.

Current Reduction
Current reduction reduces drive and motor heating by invoking standby current reduction. When
enabled, current reduction cuts motor current to 75 percent of its commanded value 100 ms after receipt
of the last step pulse. You can adjust the reduction proportion and delay to other values using the P7000
Tools configuration software.
When current reduction is enabled, the motor holding torque is reduced. Do not enable it for applications
that require full holding torque when the motor is stationary.
Table 9 lists the current reduction DIP switch settings.
Note Current reduction is enabled when switch S2–10 is OFF.
Multistepping
Multistepping is similar to dynamic smoothing, except it is a much more aggressive use of the filter.
Typically, it results in a filter that begins to roll off two octaves below the resonant frequency. This
is intended for use with coarse resolution (full/half-step input pulses) to smooth large steps into a
continuous train of microsteps, and may provide smoother motion depending on your motion
application. Disable multistepping if you are not using full or half step resolution.
Table 10 lists the multistepping switch settings.

Encoderless Stall Detection
The P7000 series stepper drive is uniquely designed to sense the motor shaft position at all times. The
drive monitors the commanded position and compares it to the actual position. As with any two-phase
step motor, when the shaft position and commanded position are greater than two full steps apart, a stall
is detected, and the drive faults.
Table 11 lists the encoderless stall detection switch settings.
Encoderless stall detection uses an internal motor model for stall detection. Motors listed in Tables 4
and 5 work well with encoderless stall detection. Third-party motors may not work as well, as the
algorithm is subject to constraints. National Instruments makes no guarantees of reliability of this
feature when using third-party motors.
Step 3: Connecting Power to the P7000 Drive
Connect either AC or DC input power to your P7000 series stepper drive. If you are using the P70360
drive, connect AC power as shown in Figure 6. Refer to Table 12 for DC power connector pin
descriptions. If you are using the P70530 drive, connect DC power as shown in Figure 7. Refer to
Table 13 for DC power connector pin descriptions.

Power on your DC or AC power supply. Once powered, the P7000 drive enters a configuration mode
that causes the LED to flash and the motor to audibly squeal. This is expected operation, as the drive
is measuring the motor windings to optimize its settings. Once complete, the status LED should
illuminate green. If it is not, refer to the Troubleshooting the P7000 Series Stepper Drive section.
Note The following step is required only if you are using the P7000 Tools configuration software
and configuring the drive with the RS-232 port. If you are using an NI stepper motor, you can
configure the drive with the DIP switches only and proceed to Step 7: Configuring the NI UMI
to configure the NI UMI.
Step 4: Configuring the P7000 Drive with the Serial Port (Optional)
1. Connect the RS-232 serial communication cable between the drive and computer COM1 port.
You must set the COM1 port to the following settings:
• Baud Rate: 19,200
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: Even
•StopBits: 1
• Flow Control: None
2. Configure a COM port to be used with the serial cable. To change your COM port, open the Device
Manager, click Ports (COM & LPT), and double-click the desired COM port as shown in
Figure 8.
Figure 8. Selecting the COM1 Port in the Device Manager

Getting Started with NI 73xx Controllers and P7000 Drives 16 ni.com
3. Select the Port Settings tab and change the settings as shown in Figure 9. Click OK to apply the
new settings. Close the Device Manager after this step.
Figure 9. COM Port Settings
Step 5: Installing the P7000 Tools (Optional)
1. Install the P7000 Tools configuration software. You can find the software at ni.com/motion/

Caution The motor shaft rotates when performing the following test.
Step 6: Testing the Motor With the P7000 Tools (Optional)
Test the motor and P7000 series stepper drive configuration by jogging the motor in the negative and
positive directions using the following arrows on the Motion Toolbar.
Note The RS-232 serial communication cable between the computer and P7000 series stepper drive
is no longer needed, but you can leave it connected.
Step 7: Configuring the NI UMI
Follow these steps to connect and configure your NI UMI. (Refer to Figure 1 for more information about
connecting the NI UMI to your stepper drive.)
1. Connect your 68-pin shielded cable between the Motion I/O connector on your NI motion
controller and the Motion I/O connector on your NI UMI.
2. Connect the P7000 direct connect cable between the NI UMI and the P7000 series stepper drive.
If you are using the NI UMI-7774/7772, connect the cable between the Control connector on the
NI UMI and the Command I/O connector on the drive. If you are using the NI UMI-7764, connect
the leads from the cable to the correct screw terminal. The leads are labeled with the same signal
