IMS's Speed Control MForce PowerDrive offers system designers a low cost, high performance microstepping driver integrated with a variable speed controller.

The unsurpassed smoothness and performance delivered by MForce PowerDrives are achieved through IMS's advanced 2nd generation current control. By applying innovative techniques to control current flow through the motor, resonance is significantly dampened over the entire speed range and audible noise is reduced.

Speed Control MForce PowerDrives accept a broad input voltage range from +12 to +75 VDC, delivering enhanced performance and speed. Oversized input capacitors are used to minimize power line surges, reducing problems that can occur with long runs and multiple drive systems. An extended operating range of -40° to +85°C provides long life, trouble free service in demanding environments.

The high, per phase output current of up to 5 Amps RMS, 7 Amps Peak, allows the compact MForce PowerDrive to control a broad array of motors from size 23 to size 42.

Speed Control MForce PowerDrives feature a digital oscillator for accurate velocity control with an output frequency of up to 5 MHz. Output frequency will vary with the signal applied to the speed control input and can be limited by the amount specified by the Maximum Velocity parameter.

Speed can be adjusted using three modes of operation: voltage, current and PWM. Voltage and current modes provide two selectable speed control inputs which may be preset and digitally selected.

Available step clock and direction output signals may be used to control a second motor to follow the speed of the first. This simplifies wiring and controlling machines with large tables or wide conveyors while eliminating drift between motor speeds.

There are two basic methods of controlling the velocity: bidirectional and unidirectional. 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 Speed Control MForce PowerDrive has 21 setup parameters, which may be configured using the supplied IMS Analog Speed Control GUI, or a user-developed front-end communication over SPI. The setup parameters enable the user to configure operational parameters which are stored in nonvolatile memory.

The versatile Speed Control MForce PowerDrive comes with dual mounting configurations to fit various system needs. All interface connections are accomplished with pluggable locking wire crimp connectors. Optional cables are available for ease of connecting and configuring MForce, and are recommended with first order.
