The 3540M is a step and direction drive, and includes an automatic feature (switch selectable) to reduce motor current by 50% when the motor is left at rest for more than one second. Additionally there is a switch selectable self-test which rotates the motor[1] ⁄2 revolution in each direction at 100 steps/second. ## **SPECIFICATIONS** **Amplifiers:** Dual, bipolar MOSFET H-bridge, pulse width modulated three state switching at 20 KHz; 12 to 42 Vdc input; 0.4 to 3.5 A/phase output current, switch selectable in 0.1 A increments; 122 W maximum output power; automatic idle current reduction (switch selectable), reduces current to 50% of setting after one second **Inputs (3540M):** Step, direction and enable, optically isolated, 5V logic; 5 mA/signal sink requirement ; motor steps on rising edge of step input; 0.5 µsec minimum pulse width; 2 µsec minimum set up time for direction signal The 3540M0 has an on-board oscillator which allows the motor speed to be controlled by an analog voltage or external joystick. This drive is idea for continuous motion applications such as mixers and blenders. Microstepping resolution is selectable by DIP switch on the 3540M. **D-20** **Inputs (3540MO):** Run/stop (cw limit), direction (ccw limit), high/low speed and enable inputs are optically isolated, 5 to 24V logic. 3 to 15 mA input current; 2200 Ω input impedance; can be configured for sinking or sourcing signals **Recommended External Pot/Joystick Resistance:** 1 to 5 K **Joystick Dead Zone:** ±80 mV **Potentiometer/Analog Signal Dead Zone:** 40 mV ## **Speed Ranges (3540MO):** **Low Speed Range:** 0 to 5 rev/sec **High Speed Range:** 0 to 25 rev/sec **Accel/Decel Range:** 1 to 250 rev/sec/sec ## **Tach Output (3540MO):** Phototransistor, open collector, open emitter; 24V max, 20 mA max; 100 pulses per motor revolution, 50% duty cycle (square wave) **Physical:** Mounted on[1] ⁄4 inch thick black anodized aluminum heat transfer chassis; 38.1 x 76.2 x 101.6 mm (1.5 x 3.0 x 4.0") overall; power on red LED; maximum chassis temperature: 70°C (158°F) **Connectors (3540M):** European style screw terminal blocks **Max Wire Size:** 18 AWG **Motor:** 4 position (A+, A-, B+, B-) **DC Input:** 2 position (V+, V-) **Signal Input:** 4 position (+5, STEP, DIR, EN) **Connectors (3540MO):** European style screw terminal blocks **Power Supply and Motor:** 6 position **Wire Size:** 12 to 28 AWG **Signal Input:** 10 position **Wire Size:** 16 to 28 AWG **Motor:** 4 position (A+, A-, B+, B-) **Self Test (3540M):** Switch selectable, rotates motor[1] ⁄2 revolution each direction at 100 steps/second, half step mode **Microstepping (3540M):** Four switch selectable step resolutions with 1.8° motor; half Step (400 steps/rev);[1] ⁄5 step (1000 s/r);[1] ⁄10 step (2000 s/r);[1] ⁄64 step (12,800 s/r) **Microstepping (3540MO):**[1] ⁄64 step (12,800 s/r) with 1.8° motor; pure sine waveform **CE Mark:** Complies with EN55011A and EN50082-1(1992) **OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES Power Supply (Required for Drive Operation):** Recommended: OMPS150A24; 24 Vdc, 6.3 A; see omega.com/ps_series **==> picture [292 x 695] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
