Integrated Motion Controller and Driver

Features

MD5130D is 1-axis, and MD5230D is 2-axis Integrated Motion Controller and Driver for 5- phase stepper motor with the bipolar pentagon drive system. A built-in EEPROM is for reading and writing driving parameter values and the user program of up to 1000 steps. The software “MD Operation Tool” is attached, which can edit and register configuration data and a user program.

- Integrated Motion controller and driver

MD5130D & MD5230D are the integrated motion controller with motion control function and microstep driver for the 5-phase stepper motor. The user can easily set configuration and operations using the attached software.

- User program

The user can register various driving parameters and the user program of up to 1000 steps by 27 kinds of commands for MD5130D, 36 kinds of commands for MD5230D. Thereby the complex operation can easily be performed by registering them in advance.

- Various acceleration/deceleration mode

There is various acceleration/deceleration driving: constant speed, trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration (symmetry/non-symmetry) and S-curve acceleration/deceleration driving. Simple mode is also available that does not require a start speed setting.

- Driver from Other Manufacturers

Preferred stepping motor drivers from other manufacturers can be used.

*Provided and prepared by the user.

- Step out detection

If the differential between real position and logical position by an encoder signal is more than a special value, it detects a step out error.

- Microstep

Microstep resolution is available 16 different resolutions, divided 1 to 250.

- Low vibration drive

Microstep driver with low vibration function achieves a smooth drive in low-speed driving.

- Interpolation function (MD5230D only)

MD5230D can execute linear and circular interpolation in XY orthogonal coordinates. Continuous interpolation can also be executed that performs a series of interpolation processes such as linear interpolation → circular interpolation → linear interpolation → ・・・.

- MD Operation Tool

The attached software “MD Operation Tool” to set and control from PC is equipped. Connect to PC with the USB cable, and the user can register configuration data and a user program, operate jog feed, and perform a user program using “MD Operation Tool”.

- MD Operation Tool: Main Window

The following main window will be displayed when the “MD Operation Tool” is activated. Users can perform operations as below.

• Perform jog mode (scan, continuous or preset)

• Execute an automatic HOME search

• Configuration settings & user programs: Read out to/Write in from the main unit, saving and loading files to/from the main unit

- MD Operation Tool: Configuration Setting Window

Edit and save various settings (mode, speed, and others) with configuration setting window.

Mode Setting Window

Speed Setting Window

- MD Operation Tool: User Program Window

Edit, register, and execute user program in the user program window, as shown below. The program in this “MD Operation Tool” facilitates linear and circular interpolation in XY orthogonal coordinates.

Users can register up to 1000 steps and 63 user programs for each axis.
