Bimba DRV-8 - Manual

Requirements
To begin, make sure you have the following equipment:
• A compatible Bimba stepper motor.
• A small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
• A suitable DC power supply. Bimba recommends the PWR-150A24 or PWR-320A48 available from Bimba.

Quick Start Guide
Connect the drive to the motor. Four lead motors can be connected in only one way, as shown in Figure 1.
We recommend that eight lead motors be connected in parallel, as shown in Figure 2.
If using a non-Bimba motor, please refer to your motor specs for wiring information.

Layout of the front panel of the DRV drive.
a) Wire the drive to the DC power source.
DO NOT apply power until all connections to the drive have been made
DO NOT alter any rotary or dip switch settings of the drive while power is
applied. This can cause permanent damage to the drive.
b) Note, the DRV4 accepts DC voltages from 24-48V, while the DRV8 accepts
DC voltages from 24-75V.
Ensure a proper earth ground connection by using the screw on the left side
of the chassis.
If using an external fuse, we recommend the following in-line with the V+ connection:
DRV4: 3AG, 4 amp (Littlefuse 313004P)
DRV8: 3AG, 6.25 amp (Littlefuse 3136.25P)
*See the OLE Manual for more information about power supply and fuse selection.
