Notes and Warnings
Installation, configuration and maintenance must be carried out by qualified
technicians only.
• Unexpected dangers may be encountered when working with this product!
• Incorrect use may destroy this product and connected components!
• The drives are not protected from reverse polarity power connection!
Detailed information on installation can be found in the user manuals. The user
manuals are available for download from: https://novantaims.com/dloads/
Required for Setup*
• IBM compatible PC running Microsoft®Windows 7 or higher with available
USB port.
• Monitor with a minimum of 1024 x 768 resolution.
• SPI Motor Interface (available online).
• +12 to +75 VDC linear or switching power supply.
• 0 to 5 MHz Clock signal for step clock, may be a controller high speed output
or signal generator.
• SPST switch or controller I/O point to control axis direction.
• SPI communications interface (recommended: MD-CC301-001 communica-
tion converter).
If not using the MD-CC301-001 for interfacing, the following may be required:
• I/O, Power and Communications interface to 19-pin M23 circular connector
(recommended: MD-CS100-000 prototype development cordset or equiva-
lent).
* If the MDrive is purchased with a QuickStart Kit, all the connecting cables
needed for initial functional setup and system testing are included.
Getting Started
All documentation, software, and resources are available online at:
https://novantaims.com/
Connecting Power and I/O
The MDrive is configured with power and I/O combined on a single connector.
Refer to “Step / Direction Input Connectivity Options” on page 1 for connecting
details and available connectivity options.
Connecting Communications
1. Connect the USB of the SPI communications converter to the PC.
2. Connect the 19-pin M23 connector of the SPI communications converter to
the MDrive.
3. Install the communication converter drivers onto PC (available online).
4. Install and open SPI Motor lnterface.
5. Apply power to MDrive.
6. Parameters may be adjusted via two screens, the Motor Settings screen or
the I/O Settings screen (shown below), accessible via the View menu.
