A characteristic of all motors is back EMF. Back EMF is a source of cur-
rent that can push the output of a power supply beyond the maximum
operating voltage of the driver. As a result, damage to the stepper
driver could occur over a period of time. Care should be taken so that
the back EMF does not exceed the maximum input voltage rating of the
MDrive23.

MDrive23 Motion Control Quick Reference Guide
The primary function of this guide is to acquaint the user with the speci-
fications, basic wiring and configuration of the MDrive23 Motion Control.
The product manual in PDF format is on the IMS Product CD or may be
downloaded from the IMS web site at www.imshome.com.
The product manual also contains a “Getting Started” document to guide
you in rapidly setting up and turning your MDrive23.
Notes and Warnings
Please observe the following when handling, connecting and using your
MDrive23. Failure to observe these points may result in damage to the
product. NOTE: The electronics are not removable from the motor in the
field. The entire unit must be sent back to the factory for repair. All war-
ranty and disclaimer information is located in the full product manual and
should be referenced for more information.
Layout and Interface Guide
Logic level cables must not run parallel to power cables. This will introduce
noise and make the system unreliable.
Logic level cables must be shielded to reduce the risk of EMI induced
noise. The shield must be grounded at the signal source to AC ground.
The opposite end of the shield must not be connected which allows it to
float and act as a drain.
The supply to the driver must be a twisted pair. If more than one driver is
being connected, run separate leads to each driver.

WARNING! When using the MDrive Motion Control with optional
internal magnetic encoder, no axial force may be applied to the
motor shaft without use of a load bearing isolation coupling.
