The MDrive17Plus Speed Control offers
system designers cost effective, program-
mable velocity control integrated with a
NEMA 17 high torque 1.8° brushless step
motor and a +12 to +48 volt microstepping
driver.
The MDrive17Plus Speed Control features
a digital oscillator for accurate velocity
control with an output frequency of up
to 5 Megahertz. Output frequency will
vary with the signal applied to the speed
control input and can be limited by the
amount specifi ed by the Maximum Veloc-
ity parameter.
Speed can be adjusted using three modes
of operation: voltage, current and PWM.
The ranges are 0 to +5 volts and 0 to
+10 volts in voltage mode, 0 to 20 mA
and 4 to 20 mA in current mode, and 15
to 25 kHz in PWM mode. This allows the
MDrive17Plus Speed Control to be driven
by a wide variety of sensors and control
devices.
There are two basic methods for control-
ling the velocity: bidirectional and unidi-
rectional. By moving the center point, both
speed and direction are controlled by a
potentiometer or joystick. By setting the
center point to zero or the lower end of the
potentiometer, only velocity is controlled
by the speed control input; direction is
controlled by a separate digital input.
The MDrive17Plus Speed Control has 18
setup parameters, which may be con-
fi gured using the supplied IMS Analog
Speed Control GUI, or a user-developed
front-end communicating over SPI. The
setup parameters enable the user to con-
fi gure all MDrive operational parameters
which are stored in nonvolatile memory.
The versatile, compact MDrive17Plus
Speed Control is available in multiple

MDrivePlus connectivity has never been
easier with options ranging from all-inclu-
sive QuickStart Kits to individual inter-
facing cables and mating connector kits
to build your own cables. See pg 4.
The MDrive17Plus is a compact, powerful
and cost effective motion control solution
that will reduce system cost, design and
assembly time for a large range
of brushless step motor applications.
CONFIGURING
The IMS Analog Speed Control is a soft-
ware GUI for quick and easy parameter
setup of the MDrivePlus Speed Con trol
from a computer's USB port. GUI ac-
cess is via the IMS SPI Motor In ter face
available at www.imshome.com. The IMS
interface is also used to upgrade MDrive-
Plus Speed Control fi rmware.
IMS Analog Speed Control features:
• Easy installation.
• Automatic detection of MDrivePlus ver-
sion and communication confi guration.
• Will not set out-of-range values.
• Tool-tips display valid range setting for
each option.
• Simple screen interface.

The MDrive17Plus is available with a Planetary Gearbox option developed to increase torque at lower speeds, enable better inertia
matching and produce fi ner positional resolutions. These effi cient, low maintenance Planetary Gearbox come fully assembled with
the MDrive and are offered in a large number of reduction ratios in 1-, 2- and 3-stage confi gurations. An optional NEMA Output
Flange allows mounting the Planetary Gearbox to the load using a standard NEMA bolt circle. Planetary Gearbox may be combined
with other MDrive17Plus options, however are unavailable with Linear Actuators.
