MICRO DRIVE 

MICROSTEPPING 

The ultra compact Microstepping MForce 

MicroDrive is a high performance, low 

cost microstepping driver that delivers 

unsurpassed smoothness and performance 

achieved through IMS’s advanced 

2nd generation current control. By applying 

innovative techniques to control 

current fl ow through the motor, resonance 

is signifi cantly dampened over the 

entire speed range and audible noise is 

reduced. 

Microstepping MForce MicroDrives accept 

a broad input voltage range from 

+12 to +48 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 2 Amps RMS, 2.8 Amps Peak, 

allows the extremely compact MForce 

MicroDrive to control a broad array of 

motors from size 8 to size 34. 

The microstepping drive accepts up to 20 

resolution settings from full to 256 microsteps 

per full step, including: degrees, 

metric and arc minutes. These settings 

may be changed on-the-fl y or downloaded 

and stored in nonvolatile memory with the 

use of a simple GUI which is provided. 

TM 

Excellence in Motion 

This eliminates the need for external 

switches or resistors. Parameters are 

changed via an SPI port. 

Power and signal in ter face con nec tions 

are ac com plished with either a pluggable 

locking wire crimp, terminal strip or 12.0" 

(30.5cm) fl ying leads. Motor phases are 

connected via a pluggable 4-pin locking 

wire crimp connector. Optional cables 

are avail able for ease of con nect ing and 

con fi g ur ing the MForce MicroDrive. 

The Microstepping MForce MicroDrive is a 

compact, powerful and inexpensive solution 

that will reduce system cost, design 

and assembly time for a large range of 

applications. 

CONFIGURING 

The IMS SPI Motor Interface software is 

an easy to in stall and use GUI for confi 

g ur ing Microstepping MForce from a 

computer's USB port. GUI access is via 

the IMS SPI Motor Interface included on 

the CD shipped with the product, or from 

www.imshome.com. 

The IMS SPI Motor Interface features: 

Easy installation. 

Automatic detection of MForce version 

and communication confi guration. 

Will not set out-of-range values. 

Tool-tips display valid range 

setting for each option.

FORCE 

MICRO DRIVE 

The ultra compact Speed Control MForce 

MicroDrive offers system designers a low 

cost, high performance microstepping driver 

integrated with a variable speed controller. 


performance delivered by MForce MicroDrives 



By applying innovative techniques to 

control current fl ow through the motor, 

resonance is signifi cantly dampened over 

the entire speed range and audible noise 

is reduced. 

Speed Control MForce MicroDrives accept 




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. 






Speed Control MForce MicroDrives feature 

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 Velocity parameter. 

Speed can be adjusted using three modes 

of operation: voltage, current and PWM. 

This allows control by a wide variety of 

sensors and devices. 

There are two basic methods of controlling 

the velocity: bidirectional and unidirec- 

SPEED CONTROL 


tional. 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 MicroDrive 

has 18 setup parameters, which may be 

confi gured using the supplied IMS Analog 

Speed Control GUI, or a user-developed 

front-end communication over SPI. The 

setup parameters enable the user to 

confi gure operational parameters which 

are stored in nonvolatile memory. 


are ac com plished with either a pluggable 

terminal strip or 12.0" (30.5cm) fl ying 

leads. Motor phases are connected via a 

pluggable 4-pin locking wire crimp connector. 

Optional cables are avail able for ease 

of con nect ing and con fi g ur ing the Speed 

Control MForce MicroDrive: a compact, 

powerful and inexpensive solution that will 

reduce system cost, design and assembly 

time for a large range of applications. 

CONFIGURING 

The IMS Analog Speed Control is a software 

GUI for quick and easy parameter 

setup of the Speed Control MForce MicroDrive 

from a computer's USB port. GUI 

access is via the IMS SPI Motor Interface 

included onthe CD shipped with the product, 

or from www.imshome.com. 

IMS Analog Speed Control features: 

• Easy installation. 

• Automatic detection of MForce version 


• Will not set out-of-range values. 

• Tool-tips display valid range 


• Simple screen interfaces.

to control current fl ow through 

the motor, resonance is signifi cantly 

dampened over the entire speed range 

and audible noise is reduced. 

Motion 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. 

A 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. 

Standard features include eight +5 to 

+24 volt general pur pose I/O lines and 

the capability of electronic gearing by 

following a rotary or linear axis at an 

electronically controlled ratio, or an 

output clock can be generated fi xed to 

the internal step clock. Also included 

are one 10 bit analog in put, 0 to

MForce PowerDrives are available 

with optional closed loop con trol. This 

increases functionality by adding stall 

detection, position main te nance and

line counts and resolutions by interfacing 

to a remotely mounted user-supplied 

external encoder.

POWER DRIVE 

SPEED CONTROL 

The Speed Control MForce PowerDrive 

offers system designers a low cost, high 

performance microstepping driver integrated 

with a variable speed controller. 


performance delivered by MForce PowerDrives 



By applying innovative techniques to 

control current fl ow through the motor, 

resonance is signifi cantly dampened over 

the entire speed range and audible noise 

is reduced. 

Speed Control MForce PowerDrives accept 




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. 


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 specifi ed 

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 fi rst. This 

simplifi es 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 

confi gured using the supplied IMS Analog 

Speed Control GUI, or a user-developed 

front-end communication over SPI. The 

setup parameters enable the user to 

confi gure operational parameters which 


The versatile Speed Control MForce 


confi gurations to fi t various system needs. 

All in ter face con nec tions are ac com plished 

with pluggable locking wire crimp connectors. 

Optional cables are avail able for ease 

of con nect ing and con fi g ur ing the MForce, 

and are recommended with fi rst order. 

CONFIGURING 

The IMS Analog Speed Control is a software 

GUI for quick and easy parameter 

setup of the Speed Control MForce PowerDrive 

from a computer's USB port. GUI 

access is via the IMS SPI Motor Interface 

included on the CD shipped with the product, 

or from www.imshome.com.

DESCRIPTION 

The IM2000S is a high performance 

microstepping controller 

that incorporates a sine/cosine 

signal generator, anti-resonance 

circuitry, PWM current control 

and much more in one monolithic 

IC. The IM2000S combines hardware 

intense functions together 

with innovative features to provide 

designers with a powerful yet simple 

solution for their high volume OEM 

products. 

Never before has any motion product 

integrated all the digital control 

into one monolithic IC. This high 

degree of integration can significantly 

reduce design time as well 

as driver size. 

Beyond the integration of a complete 

microstepping control system, 

the IM2000S has unique features 

that give designers unprecedented 

control over motor movement. 

These features include 14 selectable 

resolutions (in both decimal 

and binary) that can be changed at 

any time without motor movement 

interruption. There is no need to 

reset the controller. This allows the 

user to rapidly move long distances, 

yet precisely position the motor at 

the end of travel without the need or 

expense of a complex controller. 

Another valuable feature is an “On 

Full Step” output which indicates 

when the motor is at an electrical 

full step. This output can be used 

to reduce the overhead needed to 

track position when making long 

moves. 

The development of proprietary circuits 

has minimized ripple current, 

while maintaining a 20 KHz chopping 

rate. This prevents additional 

motor heating that is common with 

drivers requiring higher chopping 

rates. Now low inductance stepper 

motors can be used to improve 

high speed performance and peak 

system efficiency. 

The IM2000S needs only clock 

and direction inputs to control the 

motor and will interface directly to 

discrete bridges or common monolithic 

bridge ICs. 

Designers can now place drivers 

directly on their PC boards with all 

the necessary control in an ultra 

small 64 pin QFP package. 

Size, price and time-to-market are 

three crucial aspects in today’s 

competitive markets and the 

IM2000S offers the ability to reduce 

all three.

IM2000S PIN ASSIGNMENTS 

PIN NAME FUNCTION 

59 SCLK 

52 RSEL 

57 RESET 

60 DIR 

53 CSEL 

Step clock input. A positive going edge on this input will advance the motor one increment (the size of the increment is dependent 

on the microstep select inputs). 

ROM select input. When low, this input selects the internal sine/cosine ROM. When high, AD0-AD8 are selected for use with 

an external lookup table. 

Reset input. When low, this input will reset the IM2000S (PWM, Enable and Full Bridge outputs will be disabled). When 

released, the controller will be at its initial state (sine at 0, cosine at peak). 

Direction input. This input is used to change the direction of the motor. Physical direction also depends on the connection of the 

motor windings. 

Clock select input. When low, the SCLK input will be directed to the internal sine/cosine generator independent of the level of 

the EN input. When high, the SCLK input will be directed to the COUT output when the EN input is low and, conversely, to the 

internal sine/cosine generator when the EN input is high. 

61 EN Enable input. When low, this input will enable/disable the PWM and full bridge output signals. 

62 FSTEP 

On fullstep output signal. This active low output indicates when sine & cosine outputs of the IM2000S are positioned on a full 

step. 

63 FAULT Fault output signal. This active high output indicates when a fault has occurred. It will stay active until the IM2000S is reset. 

64 WR 

Write input. When the IM2000S is configured in the buss mode, this input is used to latch in the microstep select, enable and 

direction inputs. 

1 MODE Mode select input. This input is used to configure the IM2000S in a stand-alone or buss mode.

DESCRIPTION 

The OSC-462H Analog Speed 

Control Interface Board offers the 

system designer the capability of 

adding low cost, intelligent velocity 

control to the IB462He Half/Full 

Step Hybrid Motor Driver (sold separately). 

The OSC-462H is powered 

by a single +12 to +48 VDC power 

supply, which will also provide power 

for the IB462He driver. 

*Not Supplied 

The OSC-462H features a digital 

oscillator for accurate velocity control 

with an output frequency of up 

to 60 kilohertz. Output frequency 

will vary with the voltage level on 

the speed control input. The speed 

control input can be adjusted by 

using a 10k potentiometer* or by 

directly applying 0 to +5 volts to 

the input. 

There are two basic modes of operation: 

bidirectional and unidirectional. 

In bidirectional mode, both speed 

and direction are controlled by the 

speed control input. In unidirectional 

mode, only velocity is controlled by 

the speed control input; direction is 

controlled by a separate input. 

The speed control board’s setup 

parameters are configured using 

the included IMS Analog Speed 

Control GUI. This enables the user 

to configure all of the operational 

parameters of the OSC - 462H which 


In addition, the OSC-462H has buffered 

step clock and direction outputs 

to facilitate cascading of drives. 

These outputs will follow the primary 

step clock and direction outputs of 

the speed control board. 

Wiring is accomplished with a convenient 

15 pin removable screw 

terminal (P1) and an optional Parameter 

Setup Cable which plugs 

into the board’s 10 pin pin-header 

(P3). For additional mounting configurations, 

an L-Bracket is also 

available as an option. 

The IB462He Half/Full Step Driver 

plugs easily into a 21 pin receptacle 

attached to the OSC-462H. This device 

allows for a simple, cost effective 

solution in applications requiring 

variable velocity control. 

CONFIGURING 

The IMS Analog Speed Control software 

is a required, easy to install 

and use graphical user interface 

(GUI) for configuring the OSC-462H 

from the parallel port on your computer. 

Access the GUI via the IMS 

SPI Interface included on the CD 

shipped with the product, or download 




• Automatic communication configuration. 


• Tool-tips display valid range setting 

for each option. 

• Easy single screen interface. 

The IMS Analog Speed Control GUI is an easy 

to install and use single screen interface.

DESCRIPTION 

The OSC-805H Analog Speed 

Control In ter face Board offers the 

system designer the ca pa bil i ty of 

add ing low cost, intelligent velocity 

control to the IM805H PLUS Microstepping 

Hybrid Motor Driv er (sold 

sep a rate ly). The OSC-805H mates 

with the IM805H PLUS driv er and 

has an in put volt age range of +12 

to +75 VDC. 

The OSC-805H features a digital 

oscillator for ac cu rate ve loc i ty control 

with an output frequency of up 

to 100 ki lo hertz. Output frequency 

will vary with the volt age level on 

the speed control input. The speed 

control input may be ad just ed by 

selecting 15-25kHz PWM, 0 to +5 

volts, 4 to 20mA, or 0 to 20mA. 

There are two basic modes of op er ation: 

bi di rec tion al and uni di rec tion al. 

In bidirectional mode, both speed 

and direction are controlled by the 

speed control input. In unidirectional 

mode, only velocity is controlled by 

the speed control input; direction is 

controlled by a separate input. 

The speed control board’s setup 

parameters are confi gured using 

the included IMS Analog Speed 

Control GUI. This enables the user 

to confi gure all of the op er a tion al 

pa ram e ters of the OSC-805H which 

are stored in non vol a tile memory. 

The OSC-805H has buff ered step 

clock and di rec tion out puts to facilitate 

cas cad ing of drives. These 

out puts will fol low the primary step 

clock and di rec tion out puts of the 

speed control board. The OSC also 

fea tures Step Clock and Direction 

inputs for remote con nec tion and 

control. The use of the Start input 

switch es the device from an 

external clock input to the internal 

oscillator. 

Wiring is ac com plished with a convenient 

15 pin re mov able screw 

terminal (P1) and an optional 

Pa ram e ter Set up Ca ble which plugs 

into the board’s 10 pin pin-head er 

(P2). For additional mounting confi 

g u ra tions, an optional L-Brack et is 

also available. 

CONFIGURING 

The IMS Analog Speed Control software 

is a re quired, easy to install 

and use graphical user interface 

(GUI) for confi guring the OSC-805H 

from the parallel port on your computer. 

Access the GUI via the IMS 

SPI In ter face included on the CD 

shipped with the prod uct, or download 




• Automatic communication confi 

guration. 


• Tool-tips display valid range setting 

for each option. 

• Easy single screen interface.

DESCRIPTION 

Based upon our popular IB462 

Half/Full Step Driver, the IB462He 

is a low cost, high performance 

alternative to larger drives. The 

small size of the patented IB462He 

makes it ideal for systems where 

space is at a premium without sacrificing 

performance. 

The IB462He operates between 

+12 and +48 VDC. This high voltage 

allows for greater speeds at higher 

torque. Combine this with 2A per 

phase of output current and 160 

watts of power and you have a low 

cost alternative to chipsets, all contained 

in a package that minimizes 

expensive real estate! 

The IB462He is our smallest and 

lowest priced drive. It will reduce 

time to market, increase reliability, 

and it comes with a 2 year warranty. 

The IB462He represents affordable, 

state-of-the-art technology 

for the competitive edge needed in 

today’s market. 

OPTIONS 

The INT-462 is an optional plugon 

interface board which can be 

used with the IB462He to facilitate 

testing, or in situations where 

panel mounting the IB462He is 

preferred. The INT-462 is much 

more than a simple pluggable interface. 

It adds a dynamic array 

of features to the IB462He, typically 

found only on larger and more 

expensive drives. Features such as 

a +5 VDC switching power supply, 

+5 to +48 VDC opto-isolated inputs 

which are internally limited to 8mA, 

automatic current reduction, over 

current and short circuit protection, 

input capacitor, and fault and power 

LEDs. Wiring is done through a 15 

pin removable screw terminal. 

The OSC-462H analog speed control 

board is an option for adding low 

cost, intelligent velocity control to 

the IB462He driver. The OSC-462H 

is powered by a single +12 to +48 

VDC power supply, which will also 

INT-462 Interface Board 

provide power for the IB462He. The 

control board features a digital oscillator 

for accurate velocity control 

with an output frequency of up to 

60 kilohertz. The IB462He driver 

plugs easily into a 21 pin receptacle 

attached to the OSC-462H. This 

device allows for a simple, cost 

effective solution in applications 

requiring variable velocity control. 

(Product details on page 8.) 

Also available is the H-462H heat 

sink, which only adds 2.21 cubic 

inches (36.1 cubic cm) to the overall 

footprint of the IB462He.

DESCRIPTION 

The IM483H PLUS and IM805H 

PLUS are high performance, low-cost 

microstepping drivers that utilize advanced 

hybrid technology to greatly 

reduce size without sacrificing fea-

Assembly. 

tures. Both are exceptionally small, 

easy to interface and use, and yet 

powerful enough to handle the most 

demanding applications. 

The IM483H PLUS and IM805H 

PLUS have 16 built-in microstep resolutions 

(both binary and decimal). 

The resolution can be changed at 

any time without the need to reset 

the driver. This feature allows the 

user to rapidly move long distances, 

yet precisely position the motor at 

the end of travel without the expense 

of high-performance controllers. In 

many instances mechanical gearing 

can be replaced with microstepping. 

This reduces cost and system size, 

and eliminates potential maintenance 

while increasing accuracy 

and smoothness. 

With the development of proprietary 

and patented circuits, ripple current 

has been minimized to reduce the 

motor heating that is common with 

other designs. This feature allows 

the use of low inductance motors 

to improve high-speed performance 

and system efficiency. 

The IM483H/IM805H PLUS microstepping 

hybrids are designed to 

be soldered directly into a PC board. 

This eliminates the need for wiring 

and mounting, thus saving design 

and assembly time, reducing system 

cost and increasing reliability. 

The ultra-small size reduces the 


overall space required in your 

system. In addition, each unit is 

100% tested and comes with a 

2-year warranty. 

Available as options for the 

IM483H/IM805H PLUS are 

the HFC-22 Heat Sink/Fan/Clip 

assembly and the PR-22 Pin Receptacles 

with throwaway carrier. 

The HFC-22 provides a unique 

cooling solution and was designed 

specifically for the IM483H PLUS 

and IM805H PLUS Microstepping 

Hybrid Drivers. The HFC-22 

will easily maintain a reliable rear 

plate temperature without using 

large heat sinks and cumbersome 

mounting hardware. The heat sink 

and fan are easily mounted to the 

driver by means of a removable clip 

developed by IMS, and when fully 

assembled with the IM483H PLUS 

or IM805H PLUS takes up only 6.8 

cubic inches of space! 

For applications where ease of 

removal is required, the PR-22 

provides a reliable, high quality 

receptacle which comes attached 

to a high temperature plastic

MINIATURE BIPOLAR 

STEPPING MOTOR DRIVERS 

FEATURES 

• Low Cost 


• High Input Voltage (+40 V) 


(2.0/3.5 Amps) 

• Isolated Inputs 


• On-Board Phase Logic 

• PC or Chassis Mountable 

• Extremely Small Size 


DESCRIPTION IB462 DRIVER IB463 DRIVER 

Intelligent Motion Systems has succeeded 

in developing a line of miniature 

high performance stepper 

motor drivers for today’s quality 

minded, price sensitive market. Recognizing 

the wide variety of needs 

in a rapidly growing motion market, 

IMS has responded with some of 

the smallest, low cost stepper drives 

available today. 

IMS has included features usually 

found only in the larger, more expensive 

drives – single supply, optically 

isolated inputs, half and full step, 

and a chopping rate of over 20 kHz 

that eliminates audible noise. 

Their small size make the IB462 and 

IB463 ideal for PC board mounting, 

but they can also be frame or chassis 

mounted and will accept 0.200/ 

0.196 center connectors or plug 

type terminal strips. 

The IB462 packs a powerful 160 

watts into less than 8.6 cubic inches. 

The driver will effortlessly output 

up to 2 Amps per phase. 

The IB462 operates from +12 to 

+40 Volts. This high voltage allows 

for greater speeds at higher torque 

without resorting to expensive drives 

or larger motors. 

The driver comes standard with 

sourcing inputs, but is also available 

in a sinking input (-S) version which 

eliminates the need to interface additional 

circuitry. 

The high efficiency of the IB462 

chopper drive, along with its miniature 

size, makes it ideally suited 

to replace the less efficient L/R 

drives. In addition, the low cost and 

off-the-shelf availability of the IB462 

permits an immediate, cost effective 

solution to an in-house design. 

With an output capability of up to 

3.5 Amps per phase, the IB463, 

which is only slightly larger than the 

IB462, can deliver 1.4 times more 

power. 

Although the IB463 circuit fits into 

an area of less than 10.7 cubic 

inches, it is capable of delivering a 

powerful 230 watts! 

The IB463 comes standard with 

sourcing inputs, but is also available 

in a sinking input (-S) version which 

eliminates the need to interface additional 

circuitry. 

The IB463 is ideal for those applications 

requiring more power, 

but where size and cost are still 

important factors.

MINIATURE BIPOLAR 

STEPPING MOTOR MOTOR DRIVERS DRIVERS 

FEATURES 

• Low Cost 




(4/6/9 Amps) 

• Isolated Inputs 


• On-Board Phase Logic 

• PC or Chassis Mountable 

• Extremely Small Size 


• MOSFET Output Stage 

• High Step Rate (250 kHz) 

• Over/Under Voltage Protection 

DESCRIPTION 

Intelligent Motion Systems continues 

to meet the needs of a 

growing motion industry with these 

powerful, high performance stepper 

motor drivers — the IB104, IB106 

and IB1010. 

Using MOSFET technology to 

achieve high power from a miniature 

package, these drivers have 

what it takes to get the maximum 

performance from the larger, higher 

torque stepping motors. This type of 

performance is required for today’s 

most demanding applications. OEM 

designers will appreciate not only 

the enhanced capabilities in such a 

small package, but the LOW price 

as well. 

These 80 volt drives have advanced 

features usually found only in more 

expensive drives — single supply, 

optically isolated inputs, half and full 

step, and a chopping rate of over 20 

kHz that eliminates audible noise. 

IMS has preserved pin compatibility 

with these smaller drives for an easy 

upgrade if more power is needed. 

In addition, their small size makes 

them ideal for PC board mounting, 

but they can also be frame or 

chassis mounted and will accept 

0.200/0.196 center connectors 

or plug type terminal strips. 

All three drivers come standard with 

sourcing inputs, but are also available 

in an optional sinking input (-S) 

version which eliminates the need to 

interface additional circuitry. 

THE IB104 

The IB104 operates from +24 to 

+80 volts at 4 Amps/phase for 

lower power applications requiring 

high voltage performance. 

The IB104 will run cooler because it 

uses the same MOSFET technology 

as our larger +80 volt drives. 

THE IB106 

Higher performance stepping motors 

require more current. The 

IB106 was designed for applications 

requiring increased power. 

THE IB1010 

The IB1010 has the same high input 

voltage (+80V), yet with even MORE 

power! A full 9 Amps per phase for 

an incredible 1800 watts! 

The IB1010 uses the same small 

package as the IB106, but with an 

output power increase of 50%! 

The IB1010 is for those applications 

requiring maximum power, 

but where size and cost are still 

important factors.

DESCRIPTION 

The IM483 is a high performance, 

low cost microstepping driver that 

incorporates advanced surface 

mount and ASIC technology. The 

IM483 is small, easy to interface 

and use, yet powerful enough to 

handle the most demanding applications. 

The IM483 has 14 different resolutions 

(both in binary and decimal) 

built into the driver. These resolutions 

can be changed at any 

time. There is no need to reset the 

driver. 

This feature allows the user to 

rapidly move long distances, yet 

precisely position the motor at the 

end of travel without the expense of 

high performance controllers. 


has minimized ripple current 

while maintaining a 20 kHz chopping 

rate. This prevents additional motor 

heating that is common with drivers 

requiring higher chopping rates. 

Now low inductance stepper motors 

can be used to improve high speed 

performance and system efficiency. 

The IM483 also comes with an optional 

on-board indexer to provide 

design engineers with versatility 

and power unmatched in today’s 

industry. 

The IM483 is priced lower to 

provide customers with affordable 

state-of-the-art technology for that 

competitive edge needed in today’s 

market.

DESCRIPTION 

The IM805 is a high performance, 

low cost microstepping driver that 

incorporates advanced surface 

mount and ASIC technology. The 

IM805 is small, easy to interface 

and use, yet powerful enough to 

handle the most demanding applications. 

The IM805 has 14 different resolutions 

(both in binary and decimal) 

built into the driver. These resolutions 

can be changed at any time. 

There is no need to reset the driver. 

This feature allows the user to rapidly 

move long distances, yet pre- 

cisely position the motor at the end 

of travel without high expense. 


has minimized ripple current 

while maintaining a 20 kHz chopping 

rate. This prevents additional motor 

heating that is common with drivers 

requiring higher chopping rates. Now 

low inductance stepper motors can 

be used to improve high speed performance 


The IM805 is pin and footprint compatible 

with our IM483 drive, which 

has an output current of 3A RMS 

and 4A peak. This allows the same 

mechanical configuration to be used 

with systems that may utilize different 

power requirements. 

The IM805 is priced lower to 

provide customers with affordable 

state-of-the-art technology for that 

competitive edge needed in today’s 

market.

BLOCK DIAGRAM 

DESCRIPTION 

Incorporated into the IM483I & IE 

drivers are proprietary circuits that 

minimize ripple current while maintaining 

a 20 kHz chopping rate. This 

prevents additional motor heating 

that is common with drivers requiring 

higher chopping rates. Now low 

inductance stepper motors can be 

used to improve high speed performance 


The built-in indexer on the IM483I & 

IE allows the user, via a serial link, 

to program parameters such as 

acceleration/deceleration ramps, 

velocity, position, resolution and 

drive current to form simple or 

complex motions. 

Programs can be executed by 

sending single commands, or can 

be stored in the on-board nonvolatile 

memory which can then be 

executed on power-up or by discrete 

user inputs. 

The indexer has a variety of builtin 

functions, including limit switch 

inputs, a homing algorithm, and 

general purpose inputs and outputs 

that can be used to detect switch 

closures and to activate solenoids 

and/or other external devices. 

The IM483IE, with its built-in 

encoder option, can be used to 

enhance system performance by 

adding complex functions such as 

position verification, position maintenance 

and stall detection. These 

functions can be of particular importance 

with systems requiring closed 

loop control to track movement and 

final position.

DESCRIPTION 


The MicroLYNX is a powerful 

machine control system 

in te grat ing a bi po lar microstepping 

driv er and ex pand able 

pro gram ma ble controller into 

a com pact panel mounted 

assembly. 

Available in two out put power 

ranges, MicroLYNX fi ts a va ri ety 

of mo tor sizes. Fea tures such 

as +5 to +24 VDC isolated 

I/O, mul ti ple com mu ni ca tion 

types and nu mer ous ex pan sion 

op tions make the MicroLYNX an 

effective and powerful ma chine 

con trol solution. 

Optional dif fer en tial I/O modules 

give the MicroLYNX the 

ca pa bil i ty of driving two additional 

axes sequentially or 

allowing electronic gearing 

by following a rotary or lin ear 

axis, or out put ting a second 

clock at an elec tron i cal ly controlled 

ra tio. 

The MicroLYNX provides for 

two fully independent com mu - 

ni ca tion ports. It will ac cept 

com mands from either port and 

di rect out put to ei ther as well. A 

ACTUAL SIZE 

sys tem could be confi gured to 

use COMM port one to com mu - 

ni cate to a host PC or PLC while 

the second com mu ni cates with 

an op er a tor in ter face or ad di - 

tion al MicroLYNX. 

EXPANDABILITY 

The MicroLYNX can be used 

to con trol both sim ple and 

com plex systems. With plug-in 

ac ces so ry mod ules OEMs have 

the option of only pur chas ing 

the features they need for any 

giv en system design, reducing 

over all cost. The MicroLYNX 

can be fi eld up grad ed by simply 

removing its side cover and 

adding or changing an expansion 

module, minimizing system 

down time. 

UPGRADABILITY 

Software for the MicroLYNX is 

upgradable. Updates are posted 

on the IMS web site and can 

be down load ed and installed using 

the IMS Ter mi nal/Upgrade 

soft ware provided with the 

MicroLYNX. This allows older 

units to use new features and 

ex pan sion mod ules as they become 

avail able.

COMPACT COMPACT HIGH HIGH OUTPUT OUTPUT 

SWITCH SWITCH MODE MODE POWER POWER SUPPLY 

FEATURES 

• Compact Size 

• Efficient Switch Mode Design 

• High Output Power (120 Watts) 

• Specifically Designed to Power 

Motor Drivers 

• Short Circuit and Thermal 

Protection 

• Wide Input Voltage Range 

(-15%, +10%) 

• 120 VAC and 240 VAC Versions 

(50/60Hz) 

• Power and Fault LEDs 

• Short Circuit and Over Voltage 

• Temperature Protection 

DESCRIPTION 

The ISP200 switch mode power supply 

has been designed specifically for 

supplying power to the inductive loads 

found in stepping and DC motors. Conventional 

switching power supplies are 

designed for the constant, unvarying 

loads of circuit boards and are not tolerant 

of the current surges produced 

by rapid changes in power demand and 

the inductance of motor coils. 

This supply is capable of delivering 

3 Amps (-4), 2 Amps (-7) of peak 

current and has the ability to absorb 

inductive current surges associated 

with stepping and DC motors. This 

produces more even output power 

which enables motors to operate at 

higher performance levels. 

The ISP200 is well protected with designed-in 

short circuit and over voltage 

temperature protection circuits. The 

protection circuits, along with LEDs for 

fault and power, are provided to aid in 

troubleshooting. 

The lightweight, compact packaging of 

the ISP200 permits easy integration of 

the power supply into OEM equipment.

DESCRIPTION 

The ISP300 switch mode power supply 

has been designed specifically for 

supplying power to the inductive loads 

found in stepping and DC motors. Conventional 

switching power supplies are 

designed for the constant, unvarying 

loads of circuit boards and are not tolerant

by rapid changes in power demand and 

the inductance of motor coils. 

This supply is capable of delivering 

6 Amps (-4), 4 Amps (-7) of peak 

current and has the ability to absorb 

inductive current surges associated 

with stepping and DC motors. This 

produces more even output power 

which enables motors to operate at
