The Rev. B drive makes a few minor improvements to the Rev. A drive and it retains the new features

and switch setting that were not available on the older, non-revised SD17063 drives. Therefore, this

manual can be used with the SD17063 Rev. A drives with the exceptions noted below. This manual

cannot be used with the older, non-revised SD17063 drives. The easiest way to determine if you have

a revised or non-revised drive is by the power connector. The new SD17063 Rev. A and B drives have

a green, three terminal, Phoenix Contact connector while the older SD17063 drive has an IEC power

Connector.

The Indexer – The indexer, sometimes called the controller, generates directional pulses that control the

position, velocity, and rotational direction of the stepper motor. Indexers can take on many forms, from

a fully programmable card for a programmable logic controller or PC, to a ‘black box’ that runs a fixed

profile whenever an operator presses a button.

The Drive – The drive converts the directional pulses from the indexer into the current waveforms

needed to drive the stepper motor. The SD17063 accepts differential signals from the indexer and outputs

170Vdc digitized waveforms to the motor with a maximum current of 6.3Arms. The SD17063 also

has fault diagnostics that warn you of problems with the motor connections or directional pulses from

the indexer. The SD17063’s fault output is typically fed back to the indexer.

The Motor – Stepper motors are available in many different sizes to met specific torque requirements.

AMCI offers motors that range in size from NEMA 23 to NEMA 42.

A position feedback device, such as an optical encoder or resolver, can be added to the system if desired. The

feedback is between the motor and the indexer, and therefore its specification and installation is not covered

in this manual.
