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 (e.g., MD-CC300-001 or MD-CC303-001
communication converters).
Depending on the MDrive connectors configuration, the following may be
required:
• I/O, and Communications interface to 12-pin wire crimp connector (e.g.,
PD12-1434-FL3 prototype development cable).
• Power interface to the 2-pin wire crimp connector (e.g., PD02-3400-FL3
prototype development cable).
* If the MDrive is purchased with a QuickStart Kit, all the connecting cables
needed for initial functional setup and system testing are included.

Connecting Power and I/O
The MDrive may be configured with power and I/O combined on a single con-
nector, or with separate connectors. Refer to “Step / Direction Input Connectivity
Options” on page 2 for connecting details and available connectivity options.
Connecting Communications
1. Connect the USB of the SPI communications converter to the PC.
2. Connect the 10-pin 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.
