Driver Functionality
This table summarizes the features of the stepper motor driver portion of the SMD34K units.
Table R1.2 Driver Functionality
Idle Current Reduction
Idle Current Reduction allows you to prolong the life of your motor by reducing its idling temperature. Val-
ues for this parameter range from 0% (no holding torque when idle) to 100%.
Idle current reduction should be used whenever possible. By reducing the current, you are reducing the I

R
losses in the motor. Therefore, the temperature drop in the motor is exponential, not linear. This means that
even a small reduction in the idle current can have a large effect on the temperature of the motor.
Note that the reduction values are “to” values, not “by” values. Setting a motor current to
4Arms and the current reduction to 25% will result in an idle current of 1Apk. (The SMD34K
always switches from RMS to peak current control when the motor is idle to prevent motor
damage due to excessive heating.)
Feature
Benefits
RMS Current Control
RMS current control give an SMD34K the ability to drive the motor at its
fully rated power regardless of the programmed steps per turn. There is no
reduction in power when microstepping that may occur with other drivers.
Programmable
Motor Current
RMS current supplied to the motor can be programmed from 0.1 to 5.4 amps
in 0.1 amp increments. Reducing the motor current to the minimum needed
for your application will significantly reduce the motor’s operating tempera-
ture
Programmable Idle
Current Reduction
Extends motor life by reducing the motor current when motion is not occur-
ring. This extends the life of the motor by reducing its operating
temperature.
Programmable
Motor Steps/Turn
Allows you to scale your motor count to a real world value. (counts per inch,
counts per degree, etc.)
Anti-Resonance Circuitry
This feedback circuitry and algorithm gives the SMD34K the ability to mod-
ify motor current waveforms to compensate for mechanical resonance in
your system. This will give you smooth performance over the entire speed
range of the motor.
Over Temperature
Detection
An SMD34K sets a warning bit in the network data when the internal tem-
perature of the unit approaches its safe operating threshold.
Over Temperature
Protection
Protects your SMD34K from damage by removing power from the motor if
the internal temperature of the driver exceeds the safe operating threshold of
203°F/95°C.
