QuickStart Kit
quickstart thumbnail

All-inclusive QuickStart Kits facilitate rapid design verification by bundling any one of over 156,000 MDrivePlus products -- built to your specifications -- with everything needed to connect quickly and conveniently, enabling engineers to confirm with confidence that their application’s design goals are met. QuickStart Kits include: a single sheet instruction guide, software/manuals CD, and connecting cabling including Communications Converter and Prototype Development Cable(s).

Order QuickStart Kits simply by placing a “K-” at the beginning of an MDrivePlus part number

Above photo represents a QuickStart Kit. Kit cabling varies with MDrivePlus ordered.

TO VIEW complete QuickStart Kit components list by MDrivePlus Part #: Interactive MDrivePlus Part Builder.

CONNECTIVITY NOTE: Communications Converters and Prototype Development Cables, in addition to Mating Connector Kits for use in building your own cables, are available separately. Refer to the following section for more complete details.

  • Comm Converters
  • Prototype Development Cables
  • Mating Connector Kits

Electrically Isolated, in-line converters pre-wired with mating connectors to conveniently set parameters and program a single MDrivePlus via a PC USB port.

To view connectivity options for each model MDrive, select from the drop-down listing above.

Converter Part Number Mating Connector Type
MD-CC401-001 (USB to RS-422/485) 5-Pin M12 Male Circular
MD-CC500-000 (CANopen) Interface cable required - view details

 

If building your own cabling, you will need:

  • RS-422/485 inline converter or PC card
  • Cabling with appropriate mating connectors for the MDrive model selected
  • For information on Party Mode (Multidrop) communications view the product manual

Prototype development cables are designed to speed test/development with pre-wired mating connectors that have flying leads other end.

To view connectivity options for each model MDrive, select from the drop-down listing above.

Prototype Development Cable P/N Mating Connector Type Signal Type
MD-CS100-000 19-Pin Circular (Straight) I/O
MD-CS101-000 19-Pin Circular (Right-Angle) I/O
MD-CS-200-000 3-Pin Euro-AC (Straight) Power
MD-CS-201-000 3-Pin Euro-AC (Right-Angle) Power

 

If building your own cabling, you will need:

  • Appropriate mating connector and crimp pins if required (Mating connector kits are available for Locking Wire Crimp style connectors)
  • Field Solderable circular connector.
  • Shielded twisted pair cabling

There are no mating connector kits available for this product.

Encoders

 
  • Internal Magnetic Encoder
  • Remote Encoder (Encoder not supplied)

The internal encoder option is a 512-line (2048 count) differential magnetic encoder: The internal magnetic encoder offers two key advantages:

  1. Reduced connections externally, thus reduced system cabling, as encoder feedback is all internal to the MDrivePlus.
  2. Smaller footprint to the MDrivePlus than an externally mounted encoder.

The remote encoder option, while adding additional wiring to the MDrivePlus, offers two key advantages:

  1. The user can choose the type of encoder and line count.
  2. The encoder may be placed directly on the load rather than at the encoder shaft.

Note: The remote encoder interface reduces the number of available I/O points from 8 to 4. General purpose I/O 9-12 and Step and Direction I/O are replaced by differential encoder inputs.
