2.2 Selecting Other System Components
Selecting an
indexer
The 5630 requires step, direction, and enable inputs. Select
an indexer that provides, as a minimum, these commands. A
compatible indexer will provide the capability to drive the
input circuits shown in the Table in section 2.5.3, “J3 Signal
Interface Connection.” For most applications that operate at
speeds above 300 rpm, an indexer that can ramp the output
pulse train is required.
The Pacific Scientific 5645 Advanced Indexer combines 5630
functionality and BASIC Motion Control indexing in a single
package.
Selecting a
motor
The 5630 is designed for use with Pacific Scientific’s line of
hybrid stepper motors. The drive works with either the
standard line or the enhanced high performance line of
stepper motors. The motor winding current rating must be
compatible with the output current of the drive package - 5.0,
6.0, 7.5, or 8.0 amps RMS (7.1, 8.5, 10.6, or 11.3 amps peak).
The electrical and magnetic losses of the motor must not
exceed the motor power dissipation rating. This is a concern
at higher speeds and with low inductance motors (less than
4-inch frame size). The motor case temperature should not
exceed 100
°
C.
Contact your local Pacific Scientific Distributor for sizing and
motor compatibility assistance.
