BASIC OPERATION
List of components needed to rotate the motor: 
 
+12 to 75 VDC Power Supply
Additional +5 VDC Volt Power Supply
Signal Generator
 
 
Ensure that the IMDP23 is not connected to the Main Power Supply until the following 
procedures have been properly carried out. 
 
1. Connect the step pulse generator 
Connect Pin5, step pulse input, to the Positive Terminal of your pulse generator. Then 
connect the negative terminal to main ground power. 
 
2. Connect the 5VDC supply 
The IMDP23 requires a separate 5VDC supply for the optos that turn on the step, 
direction, and disable inputs. 
 
Connect the positive terminal of your 5VDC supply to Pin 7, the opto input supply. The 
ground terminal of your supply should connect to the ground wire of the step pulse 
function generator. 
 
Users have an option to use the IMDP23’s internal 5VDC supply for ease of use. 
Connect pin 6 to pin 7 with a wire. By doing so, the system is no longer optically 
isolated. 
 
3. Connect the direction pin 
The IMDP23 unit will rotate counterclockwise if the direction pin is not connected to 
anything. If the direction pin is pulled low, the direction of rotation will change to a 
clockwise direction. 
 
Connect a switch from the direction pin to the ground connection on your opto supply. 
 
4. Connect the disable pin 
Simply connect a switch from the disable/enable pin to the ground connection on your 
opto supply. Connection to ground will disable the drive. No power will go to the motor.
