1 #L010185 June 2007 MBC10SI1 Programmable Simple Indexer/Driver User’s Guide 910 East Orangefair Lane, Anaheim, CA 92801 e-mail: info@anaheimautomation.
2 #L010185 June 2007 Introduction The MBC10SI1 is an low cost single axis step motor driver integrated with a programmable simple indexer. The MBC10SI1 microstep driver/pulse generator has an output current capability of 1.5A minimum to 10.0A maximum (peak rating).
3 #L010185 June 2007 A) A Profile input is activated; Ramps up to max speed. B) No limit is active; Max speed is reached (keeps running at max speed). C) No limit is active; Internal counter signals to ramp down to base speed. D) Internal Counter is complete; Base speed is reached.
4 #L010185 June 2007 LEDs When powered and operated properly, the status LED will be green. When a communication or program syntax error occurs, the LED will change to RED and an error code will be generated in the error code register. To read and clear the error with the software, click on the “Verify Parameters” button.

7 #L010185 June 2007 Wiring Diagrams Dimensions and Jumper/Potentiometer Locations.
8 #L010185 June 2007 Setting the Output Current The output current on the MBC10SI1 is set by the on-board potentiometer R29 (Refer to Dimensions/ Jumper and Potentiometer Locations). This current adjust potentiometer determines the per phase peak output current of the driver.
9 #L010185 June 2007 Step Motor Configurations Step motors can be configured as 4, 6, or 8 leads. Each configuration requires different currents. Refer to the lead configurations and the procedures to determine their output current. WARNING! Step motors will run hot even when configured correctly.
10 #L010185 June 2007 8 Lead Motors Series Connection: When configuring the motor windings in series, use the per phase (or unipolar) current rating to determine the current setting potentiometer value. Parallel Connection: When configuring the motor windings in parallel, multiply the per phase (or unipolar) current rating by 2.
11 #L010185 June 2007 Functions Hard Limit Switches: When a hard limit switch is encountered, the pulses will stop. Hard limits are intended as an emergency stop for your system. Soft Limit Switches: These switches cause the indexer to ramp down to the base speed and finish the index, unless encountering a hard limit switch.
12 #L010185 June 2007 SMPG-SMSI Software The SMPG-SMSI software is a handy utility that supports Anaheim Automation’s programmable pulse generators and simple indexers.
13 #L010185 June 2007 “The Unit is Connected” / “The Unit is NOT Connected” On the right of the T oolbar , the user will find the communication status of the indexer . If communications is not established, please refer to the troubleshooting section.

15 #L010185 June 2007 Direct mode is used to directly control the motion for real time movements through serial communication. The indexer has 14 commands which are easy to remember for direct movement of a step motor .
16 #L010185 June 2007 $ - Version Number Register Format : $ Description: This command requests the indexer to return the version number . ! - Error Codes Register Format : ! Description: This command requests the indexer to get the current error code and print it to the screen.
17 #L010185 June 2007 C - Current Reduce Option Format: C# - where # is 0 or 1 Description: This command enables the driver to reduce current after pulses are done being sent. A 1 will enable current reduction, and a 0 will disable current reduction. This value is saved in the EEProm for standalone use.
18 #L010185 June 2007 S - Stop Soft Format: S Description: This command will cause the indexer to ramp down to base speed and run until the index is complete or a hard limit is activated.
