1. General characteristics
The Quad Microstep driveunitisdesignedtocontrol
and monitor up to four two-phase stepper motors,
operatinginbipolarchoppermode.
Thedriveisequippedwithahighperformancetrajectory
generator and with a digital control system of the
current supplied to ensure smooth and silent motor
movement.
Microstepping generation is achieved digitally and
is congurable remotely, as well as all the operating
parametersthatcanbevariedviatheeldbusinuse
(the use of conguration jumpers or the like is not
required).
The drive is always equipped with a master board
containingtheglobalcontrolelectronicsandthepower
sectionfortwomotors;anexpansion boardisconnected
tothemasterboardandallowstocontroltwoadditional
motors.The expansion board also provides 16 digital
24Visolatedoutputsand16digitalinputs.
A front display and keyboard allow to rapidly view
the main conguration parameters and status of the
drive.

standardizationDirectives:
• DSP-402(CAN in Automation – CiA Device Prole
for drives)
• ETG.6010(EtherCAT Technology Group - Use of
IEC 61800-7-201 in drives based on EtherCAT)
Thedriveimplements,therefore,anObjectDictionary
structuredasfollows:
Table 5.1

5.1 Standard objects relating
to the individual axes
AmongtheobjectsdenedbyDSP-402foraxisETC840/
QUADactuallyimplementsonlythosecontainedinthe
followingtable(relativetoaxis1only):
Table 5.1.1
NOTES
(1) Bit 15 of the ControlWord (manufacturer
defined) allows to perform an action similar
to that of homing mode 37 if the axis is in
halt and in pp mode; the bit is referred to as
"SetPositionOnTheFly" and acts on the positive
edge.
(2) The only value admitted for the “Quick stop
option code” variable is, actually, value 0 (default)
that corresponds to the “Disable Drive” option.
(3) The unit of measure of the positions is the
microstep; those relating to speed, accelerations
and jerk refer to a quantum of time of 256
microseconds. Paragraph 7 explains the format
of these variables in detail.
(4) The only value admitted for the “Homing
method” variable is, actually, value 37 (default)
that corresponds to the “Homing on current
position” mode i.e. to the imposition of the reset
value of the axis in the “Home oset” variable as
current position.
(5) These ags are associated to the individual
axis and are not to be confused with the generic
digital inputs present on the drive, even if there
may be some overlapping in the limit switches
(if dened); refer to Table 6.1.2 for a detailed
description.
(6) The “csp” mode, even if supported, is
unadvised.
Table 5.1.2
NOTES
Signaling of current overload is maintained for
at least 8 minutes, so that a overloaded motor
might cool down properly after an overload. The
Overload Error is stored in permanent memory,
and if the drive will be switched o before the
cooling down period, the user has to wait for 8
minutes again at next power up.

5.2 “Manufacturer dened”
objects relating to the
individual axes
Among the objects dened by System Spa for axes
ETC840/QUADactuallyimplementsonlythosecontained
inthefollowingtable(relativetoaxis1only);others,
althoughdened,areusedmostlyforproductiontesting
andarenotofinteresttotheuser.
Table 5.2.1
NOTES
(1) See Tables 5.2.2 and 5.2.3.
(2) If the ag ppParmsChangeOnNewSetpoint is
TRUE and the axis is in pp mode, all the kinematic
parameters are actually activated only on the
positive edge of the NewSetpoint ag contained
in the ControlWord (not only the parameter
TargetPosition).
(3) The Titemperatures are not rigidly associated
to the i-th axis; T1 and T2 are two temperatures
read inside the only dissipator associated to axes 1
and 2; T3 and T4 are two temperatures read inside
the only dissipator associated to axes 3 and 4.
(4) These ags allow to thoroughly monitor the
work of the axis power section and identify any
faults more easily.
In particular, the presence and correct wiring of
the motor in the start-up stage is checked, after
motor enabling; if the motor is not connected or
is connected incorrectly, the axis starts to fail. See
Table 5.2.4 for a detailed description.
(5) Bit 15 of this auxiliary ControlWord enables
the interpretation of the three less signicant
bits as follows: bit 0 indicates if the axis is in the
acceleration ramp, bit 1 if it is moving at constant
speed and bit 2 if it is in the deceleration ramp.
This information allows an appropriate setting of
the motor current when the axis is in csv mode;
when the axis is in pp mode (trapezoidal or S-
Curve positioning), the drive shall manage the
current independently in the most appropriate
way.

10. Power supply
sizing
Inorder to sizethe power supplyproperly, one must
carefully assess several factors, such as: the motor
used,thenumberofsimultaneousaxesonewantsto
movesimultaneously,themotorspeedandcurrent,the
brakingtorqueandthemomentoftheload.
Thesectionoftheconductorsandthedistancefromthe
powersourceaectinturnthepowersizing.
Thesupply voltageaects the maximumacceleration
atwhichitispossibletomovethemotor:accordingto
theinductanceofthemotorwinding,infact,thecurrent
takestimeto reachsteady stateconditions, givenby
the formula V = L dI/dt . (where I is the maximum
current applied, typically the boost current starting
fromstandstill).

Theenergythatcannotbeusedbyothermotorsthat

If the capacitors are not sufficient to accumulate
the energy input to the power bus, there should be
an active or passive circuit for limiting the transient
overvoltage.
Testsandyearsofexperienceintheuseofsteppermotors
recommendusingatleast2'500uFcapacitors(min250V)
pereachaxiswhichmaymovesimultaneously,uptoa
maximumof25'000uFpermachine,tolimitthestart-up
currentandthestressonthepowerdiodes.
E.g.:foramachineinwhichonecanmoveupto4axes
simultaneously,includea250V10'000uFcapacitor.
The power Bus remains at a dangerous voltage
after switching the machine o. Wait for the
power bus to reach a voltage below 40V before
intervening or remove the terminal board.
Attention!
Risk of Electric Shock, wait 1 minute before operating.
Attention!
Risque de choc électrique, attendez 1 minute avant
d'utiliser.
It is recommended to include a power bus discharge
system.
