4 Installation & Verification
4.1 Starting the Module
1. Make all the required connections. If you have the Faulhaber Starterkit MCBL 07002 for
the micromotor, proceed as described in Chapter
4.2
. This instruction only applies to the
MCBL 05002 module.
2. Turn the module so that you have the two big black ICs on
upper left
, see Fig. 4 on Page 5.
Pin 1 can then be found on the bottom left corner, and Pin 14 in the bottom right.
3. Turn all three potentiometers anti-clockwise back to the end of the range. All settings
are now at zero.
4. Switch on the power supply.
5. If you are operating over the serial link interface, now type in the command
base
.
This will make the drive turn slowly at low voltage. The potentiometers are then
inoperative. If you do not have this serial link option available, proceed in line with the
following steps:
6. Turn the right-hand potentiometer (Ramp Slope 1) a quarter-turn clockwise.
This corresponds to an acceleration ramp of about 1 000 1/s
2
.
7. Turn the left-hand potentiometer (RPM 1) approximately one eighth of a turn clockwise.
This sets a speed of about 1 000 rpm.
8. Turn the central potentiometer (Output voltage 1) a quarter-turn clockwise. If the drive
still does not start up, turn it to no more than one eighth of a revolution further
(until the slit is level with the edge).
This corresponds to an output voltage of about 1 500 mV
eff
. Warning: If you operate an
unventilated micromotor at more than 250 mA (which corresponds to an output voltage
of about 1 500 mV
eff
at standstill), it may overheat and burn out.
9. Turn the right-hand potentiometer back anti-clockwise to zero. Wait a few moments,
then turn it back clockwise again. The drive should follow these speed presets.
10. If the drive does not turn, check all connections and consult Chapter
4.3
.
