INTRODUCTION
IQ Master
IQ Master is a Windows based software package that provides the user interface to the ULTRA Plus or
IQ-Series controller. It is used to edit and compile application programs, configure, monitor, and trou-
bleshoot the controller.
IQ-550 Position Control Module
The IQ-550 Position Control Module is a stand alone single axis programmable position controller. It
can interface to most motor controllers through an analog command signal and encoder feedback to
form a system with power ranges from small subfractional horsepower DC systems to several hundred
horsepower vector drive induction motor systems. Motion programs are stored in on-board nonvolatile
memory. Two RS-232/RS-422 serial ports provide communications with the personal computer and the
optional operator terminal. Optically isolated digital I/O simplifies machine interfacing and control.
Positioning Drive Modules (PDM)
The ULTRA Plus or IQ-Series Positioning Drive Module (PDM) is a self-contained single axis pro-
grammable motion controller. The PDM provides control and power for the brushless servo motor.
Motion programs are stored in on-board nonvolatile memory. Two RS-232/RS-422 serial ports provide
communications with the personal computer and the optional operator terminal. Optically isolated digi-
tal I/O allows simple machine interfacing and control.
PDMs are manufactured in different packages which cover a wide range of power capability. The
ULTRA Plus PDM-10, 20, 30 and 75 and the IQ-2000 PDMs incorporate an integral power supply in
each PDM, and supply continuous torque’s of 3 to 90 inch-pounds in combination with standard motors.
The ULTRA Plus PDM-25, 50, 100 and 150 and the IQ-5000 PDMs use a separate power supply mod-
ule, which can be shared among multiple PDMs, and provide continuous torque’s of 20 to 750 inch
pounds with standard motors.
PDMs with Integral Power Supply Modules
The ULTRA Plus (1398-PDM-10, 1398-PDM-20 and 1398-PDM-30) and the IQ2000 (PDM-10,
PDM-20, and PDM-30) are rated for 10, 20 and 30 amp peak currents respectively. These modules are
packaged with an integral power supply to achieve a small size.
Input power to the PDM-10’s, -20’s, or -30’s is single phase AC. Input power may be optionally isolated
trough a transformer. These PDMs have a built-in solid-state “soft charge” of the internal DC bus capac-
itor. They also include a built-in dissipative shunt regulator that provides quick discharge of the DC bus
capacitor, and double as an emergency synchronous motor dynamic brake. The PDM-30 allows use of
an optional external shunt resistor for applications requiring higher shunt power capability than what is
provided by the internal shunt resistor.
PDMs with Separate Power Supply Modules
The ULTRA Plus (1398-PDM-25, 1398-PDM-50, 1398-PDM-100, and 1398-PDM-150) and the
IQ5000 (PDM-25, PDM-50, PDM-100, and PDM-150/150X) are rated for 25, 50, 100, and 150 amp
peak currents respectively. These higher power PDM modules use a separate power supply module
(PSM-50 or PSM-125), which may be shared among multiple PDMs to achieve the most economical
system package. Other than the packaging and power ranges, the higher power PDMs are identical to
the stand-alone PDMs from a setup and programming perspective.
Power Supply Module (PSM)
The power supply module is only required for ULTRA Plus (1398-PDM-25, 1398-PDM-50, 1398-
PDM-100, and 1398-PDM-150) and IQ-5000 systems. The Power Supply Module (PSM) can supply
DC power to as many as six PDM modules. The only inputs to the PSM are non-isolated or isolated
three phase power. The output is a two wire DC bus. The PSM requires no adjustments, protects itself,
provides troubleshooting diagnostics, and has a built-in solid-state “soft charge” of the DC bus capaci-
tors. It also includes a built-in dissipative shunt regulator that provides quick discharge of the DC bus
capacitors and doubles as an emergency synchronous motor dynamic brake.
