Mounting and Connection Recommendations
Mounting Recommendations
There are no special mounting considerations for this device. Flange mounting holes are drilled through with a diameter
of 0.217" (5.51mm) to take standard M5 screws. The length of the screw used will be determined by the mounting flange
width. See Mechanical Specifications for mounting hole pattern.
DC Power Recommendations
MDrive34Plus Motion Control
The power requirements for the MDrive34Plus Motion Control are:
Output Voltage .....................................................................................................+12 to +75 VDC
Current (max. per unit) ...............................................................................................................4A
(Actual power supply current requirement will depend upon voltage and load)
Layout and Interface Guidelines
Logic level cables must not run parallel to power cables. Power cables will introduce noise into the logic level cables and
make your system unreliable.
Logic level cables must be shielded to reduce the chance of EMI induced noise. The shield needs to be grounded at the signal
source to earth. The other end of the shield must not be tied to anything, but allowed to float. This allows the shield to act as
a drain.
Power supply leads to the MDrivePlus need to be twisted. If more than one driver is to be connected to the same power
supply, run separate power and ground leads from the supply to each driver.
Recommended Wiring
The following wiring/cabling is recommended for use with the MDrivePlus:
Logic Wiring ......................................................................................................................22 AWG
Wire Strip Length ...................................................................................................0.25” (6.0 mm)
Power and Ground .................... See Appendix B: Recommended Power and Cable Configurations
