Safety Instructions
The MDLCNC stepper motor driver may only be installed and commissioned by
qualified personnel. Please read the operating instructions carefully and follow
all instructions exactly. Improper installation or operation of the device can cause
damage to the electronics or the machine and can result in dangers to the health
of the operating personnel. The system manufacturer, who assembles the power
amplifier and other components to form the overall system, and the system
operator are responsible for compliance with the legal regulations.
Caution: Danger to life!
The device can be operated with voltages up to 230V
(relay outputs). If you operate the system with more than 60V, the installation
and commissioning may only be carried out by a trained electrician or must be approved by
such an electrician. No liability is accepted for damage or injury resulting from failure to
observe the safety regulations or improper use.
Always use a power supply unit with potential separation (no autotransformer or variac)!
Machine, motor and housing must be grounded according to the regulations.
System requirements
To obtain a functional drive system, the following components are required in addition to the
MDLCNC driver:
One to four two-phase stepper motors with a rated current between 0.5 and 4.5A. Three- or
five-phase motors or high-impedance motors from printers and disk drives are not suitable.
A power supply unit for the power supply. with an output voltage between 18 and 36V
Stabilization is not absolutely necessary. More detailed selection criteria are given in chapter
3.2.
A PC with the Beamicon2Basic software installed (to select the PC and operating system
please refer to the Beamicon2 software user manual), and a Micropod2 with firmware for the
MDLCNC driver. This firmware is included with the Beamicon2Basic and can be loaded later
(see Installation Software).
