IMS's MDrive17 Speed Control (MDO17) offers the system designer low cost, intelligent velocity control integrated with a NEMA 17 high torque stepping motor and a +12 to +48 volt microstepping driver.

The MDrive17 Variable Speed Control features a digital oscillator for accurate velocity control with an output frequency of up to 100 kilohertz. Output frequency will vary with the signal applied to the speed control input. Speed can be adjusted by 15-25 kHz PWM, 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA or 0 to +5 volts.

There are two basic modes of operation: bidirectional and unidirectional. By moving 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 MDrive17 Speed Control has 12 set-up parameters, configured using the supplied IMS Analog Speed Control GUI. The set-up parameters enable the user to configure all MDrive operational parameters, which are stored in a non-volatile memory.

The MDrive17 Speed Control is available in multiple configurations to fit various system needs. These options include a single shaft stand-alone device, a dual shaft rotary motor available with optical encoder or control knob, a planetary gearbox, and a long life Acme screw linear actuator.  The rotary MDrive17 is also available in three different motor lengths: 13, 15 & 19. Interface connections are accomplished using either a 7 position pluggable terminal strip or 12 in. (30.5 cm) flying leads.
