Plug for MID-7604 motor driver

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
we own a MID-7604 stepper motor driver.
I would like to purchase more of the green plugs that connect the motor to the chassis (number 15-18 on the drawing on page 10 of the user guide). Could you let me know the exact denomination and/or model number of these plugs? I have found several ones that look somewhat similar in the Newark catalog.
Thank you very much
Rasmus Ischebeck

Hey Rasmus,
The MID-7604 drive uses Phoenix Contact Combicon connectors for the green connectors (1x5) on the chassis. The part is similar to the Phoenix 1847136 part number. You can look up their connectors on their web site phoenixcontact.com. I hope this helps. Have a great day.
Regards,
DJ L.

  • The MID-7604 puts out a lot of noise, where can I get isolated cables for it?

    I'm using a MID-7604 stepper motor driver. I'd like to reduce the ground loop noise in the system that I am measuring on my PXI-5152 (through a series of transducers, etc.) by using an optical or transformer isolator for the 68 pin VHDCI cable that connects the motor driver to the computer. Does such a thing exist or are there other methods to mitigate the noise? I'd prefer to have the MID-7604 and the computer connected to the same circuit/I don't really want to buy a gigantic isolation transformer/surge protector just to plug in the MID-7604.
    Solved!

    OlliesCamel,
    The devices I'm using are PXI-5152 for signal acquisition, TEGAM 4040B for amplification, MID-7604 to drive stepper motors (which have specifications shown here http://www.sherline.com/stepspec2.pdf) to turn a Sherline rotational stage. The transducers are both Harisonic I30508T 5 MHz 3.5" focus transducers.
    I have scanned in a drawing I made up of how everything is physically connected entitled Electrical connections.PDF. Also, the noise I am referring to is the noise that is shown in picture noiseMID7604.jpg. (It is labeled)
    For the initial laser noise I'm getting an optically isolated RS232 which should fix that problem. On the MID-7604/7602 stepper power motor drive user guide and specifications it shows on page 13 that a wire should go from the 3 position to the case for grounding. It also shows that it seems to be attached to the shield of the shielded wire. Is this necessary as long as I have the ground connected to the case of the motor or? The way I have it now I just have a separate wire in the bundled/shielded cable that is going to the case but it isn't connected to the shielding itself.
    The settings for the amplifier and the PXI are for 1 M ohm impedance.
    As you can see, my signals don't have a very large SNR, so any sort of motor noise is problematic, particularly since the noise I've shown doesn't stay in the same place during the test. It tends to move around/be on top of my signals at random times even though it doesn't show that in this particular picture. It is problematic since I'm taking many measurements (20,480 acoustic signals per scan, etc.).
    I've tried averaging (256 times) and filtering (10 MHz low pass filter is the lowest I can go), however, the noise still persists a bit since it happens to somewhat fall under the same frequencies, etc. The averaging does help, but I'd like to run the test faster and so eliminating that noise would help me in that regard.

  • DC motor drive for small motors

    Hi all,
    I'm new to motion control ( but not to electronics). Currently rebuilding old SEM with failed motion control. My plan is to use some PCI-7354 or PCI-7358 bords to control about 10 DC motors on it. It is still not clear what kind of drive I need? The proposed MID series looks too big and expensive. I'm not sure if I really need it.
    My motors vary from 5-to 12V and current maight be up to 1A max.
     All they are FaulHabber minimotors with encoders.
    One example is this http://www.faulhaber-group.com/uploadpk/EN_1016G_MIN.pdf
    Encoder: http://www.faulhaber-group.com/uploadpk/EN_30B_MME.pdf
    Others slightly bigger but similar.
    The speed control for me is not critical at all but the final exact positions is most important.
    Can anybody suggest what can be used to drive such motors with  PCI-7354 or PCI-7358 .
    I see there is a lot of "single chip" motor drivers arround from semicondurtor stores. Can they be used to bulid my own simple dirve?
    Any links? What is best?

    Hi InraRed,
    you might find some useful tips on the Motion Advisor pages at ni.com, but the list for brushed DC motor drives is pretty short, so I don't know, if you can find a product there that meets your needs. I have gathered some good experience with Maxon drives like the DEC 70/10.
    In general you should watch out for drives that provide an analog command input (e. g. +/- 10 V or +/- 5 V). The drive should support torque (current) control, as this is the best fit for 73xx boards.
    I hope that helps,

  • Scanning for a newly plugged in MIDI device

    Hi all,
    I'm currently using javax.sound.midi in my project and I have to implement a feature where the program detects if the user plugs in a new midi device during runtime.
    This is a bit of a problem as mentioned here:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3752352/java-sound-api-scanning-for-midi-devices
    Basically javax.sound caches the providers list for a minute, and I did what was suggested in the thread to set the caching period to 1 second. Unfortunately, this did not work for me (I'm running on Mac OSX). I can see that the providers list are new objects but it still doesn't detect the new plugged in device. However, it does work on the PC. So my question is, does anyone have any suggestions on how to getting this working on all platforms?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Can some body help me to develop labview code for generating pulse to drive ac servo motor

    can some body help me to develop labview code for generating pulse to drive ac servo motor... i am using NI 9401 card ....tnx

    Driving an AC servo motor would (I missed AC on the previous msg) requires some complex hardware. This is generally done by drivers specifically designed for this purpose. I doubt you will be able to accomplish this with the hardware you currently have and it might be cheaper to just buy a driver for it and control the speed through the driver.

  • H bridge with pot for DC motor driver

    I'm trying to make a driver for a DC motor with pot as the direction and speed control. I have simulated my circuit however, I encounter problem with the increment of the output voltage and current of the driver. the increments are good from pot percent of 5% - 95% however when it reaches either 0% or 100% the output greatly increases (i.e 90% - 0.5V, 95% - 0.6V, 100% - 2.5V). I'm just worrying that this will result to a sudden RPM boost as it reaches either 100% or 0%. I'll attach a picture of the circuit. Thanks!

    Lawrey,
    Learning to design circuits is a process which takes some time.  I have been at it for 40+ years and am still learning.  Simulators are really analysis tools.
    I think of design as an iterative process. Start with a specification. In your example you apparently want to drive a small motor with a continuously variable magnitude (speed, torque, power?) and direction. You do not have any feedback. Next you select a circuit configuration, such as your H-bridge. With such a configuration you can do some simple analyses (before selecting transistors) of maximum voltage, current, and power dissipation at each transistor. This would be similar to the analysis I posted above, but somewhat simplified (ignoring base currents and hFE for example). The values determined from this preliminary analysis can be used to select suitable transistors. You know the current rating has to be larger than the maximum motor current and the power rating will be larger than that of the devices you initially selected.
    At this point you have a preliminary design with some specific transistors selected. Performing an analysis like mine will likely show that single transistors in each leg of the H-bridge will not work and that you need a Darlington configuration in all four positions (unless you want a 10 ohm, 20 watt pot).  So now you need four more transistors. A few calculations on resistor values will give you a complete circuit.
    At this point you run the simulation. Check the results, first to verify that it performs as you expect, and, second, carefull,y to see if any component has exceeded its ratings. Many simulation models do not accurately represent the ratings limits. For any part of the circuit which does not perform well or which exceeds ratings you modify the design and then repeat.  Just think about how much more difficult this was before simulation software existed and all those calculations were done manually.

  • Recommmendation for motion control in mid-7604

    I got a new mid-7604 recently. So what type of PCI card should I use to control mid-7604 in Labview? Does 6023E or DIO32HS works? Thank you.

    Sorry, but I have to add my 2 cents to this thread .
    @AK2DM
    thank you for suggesting a 73xx device for this purpose instead of a DAQ device
    @bighead
    apart from the fact, that the 7604's connector is designed to be connected to a 73xx device, there a a lot of functional reasons, why in general a DAQ board is not a good fit for a motion control application. Here you can find some more information about this topic.
    Kind regards,

    LV can interface to 232, 485, Devicenet... depending on what the controller has.
    You could find a LV/CVI driver for this (232/GPIB/ethernet only) instrument at http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm . If it's not listed there, it leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/
    We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
    If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
    http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
    We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:
    http://www.ni.com/alliance
    An instrument driver is a collection of functions that implement the commands necessary to perform the instrument�s operations. In short, someone read the instrument user manual and implemented some of the functionality in a program for the end user. Instrument drivers are not necessary to use your instrument. They are merely time savers to help you develop your project so you do not need to study the manual before writing a program. With all of this work already done for you in the driver, instrument drivers can significantly reduce development time.
    There are example VI's in LV on Instrument Connectivity. If you go to the Help menu >> Examples.. >> I/O, you will see a couple and Examples.. >> Fundamentals for File and String manipulation. I would suggest tweaking them to suit your application. Also the specific command that your instrument responds to can be found from it's manual.
    Some useful resources for your application are

  • Mid-7604 not detecting limit switch

    Hi there,
    I have a stepper motor PI M-110-2S plugged in a NI MID-7604.  I have been using this setup for about 3 years without any problems.  Now it seem t hat one of the limit switch (signal negative) is not reading anymore.  I’m not sure if the problem come from the stepper motor or the motor drive, but I need help to diagnose it.  I have tried to check the signal between pin #7 and pin #8 and I get a constant 5V.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as my product line is down because of this problem.
    Thank you,

    I think that I've finally nailed it.  I have been able to try another stepper that was on another production station and it's working fine.  So the problem come from the stepper itself. The reverse limit switch doesn't seem to be working. I think the limit switch is a hall effect detector.
    I'll keep you updated.

  • How does MID-7604 measure peak current?

    What are the details about how the MID-7604 measures and regulates motor winding current?
    We manufacture motion systems incorporating small step motors. One of our customers has ordered a motion system with the MID-7604. This is our first experience with the MID-7604.
    When duplicating motor performance comparable to our other Step-motor Controllers, we must set the MID-7604 to 3X the motor's traditional rated peak current. For example, for a super-small MicroMo/Arsape Step motor, we traditionally limit the current to 250mA (RMS). However, with the MID-7604, we must raise the current limit to 700mA (peak) to achieve the same performance.
    While we're not sure about the current regulation philosophy of our other Step-motor Controllers, the Step-motor Manufacturer's Specification Sheet limits the current to 250mA per phase with both phases energized to prevent overheating. Pumping in 700mA from the MID-7604 to achieve comparable performance just seems excessive. However, we're just playing with numbers here and not knowing what they mean. In the end, we're ignoring the numbers and instead, measuring motor torque and winding temperature in order to set the peak current switches on the MID-7604.
    * How can we think of the current setting for the MID-7604?
    * Is it not a PWM device that using width of voltage pulses to produce the current?
    * What does "PEAK CURRENT" and "RMS CURRENT" mean?

    Hey JThomas,
    I'm sorry to hear that you smoked a stepper motor.There are a couple of reasons that your MID-7604 drive could appear to be operating strange. 
    There is a series of DIP switches on the front of the MID drive that allow you to set various things.  One of those DIP switches is the current reduction switch.  This switch is default in the ON position from the factory I believe so if it has never been turned off, chances are it's ON.  When the Current Reduction switch is active, the stepper drive drops the current energizing the coils by 50% if there hasn't been a step in the last 500 ms.  If you were gauging the strength of the drive based off of holding torque, then this could be the reason you were raising the current to a higher rating than you thought was neccesary.  This settings is for customers who have an application with stepper motors that focus more on moving torque instead of holding torque.
    Another possible reason for the increased current to match performance of your drives is if the bus voltage of your drives is some voltage other than 24 VDC.  If your drives that you are used to using are say 36V drives, then at a lower current setting, they would provide greater torque at higher speeds because of the higher voltage being able to energize the coils faster.
    Also, the KILL feature releases the axis from being actively driven.  The HALT command simply locks the motor while leaving the coils energized to hold the position that it is currently in. 
    I hope some of this has helped you out.  Let me know if I can elaborate on anything.
    Thanks,
    Evan D.
