 Above photo represents a QuickStart Kit.
Kit cabling varies with MDrivePlus ordered. |
All-inclusive QuickStart Kits facilitate rapid design verification by bundling MDrive products 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 connection cabling including Communication Converter and Prototype Development Cable(s). Order QuickStart Kits simply by placing a “K” at the beginning of an MDrive part number. Connecting an MDrive has never been easier with readily available Communications Converters and Prototype Development Cables, in addition to Mating Connector Kits for use in building your own cables. Select the “Connectivity solutions” tab above for details on these connectivity options. |
MDrive Hybrid is available with a factory-mounted rear control knob for manual shaft positioning.

Communications Converters
Electrically Isolated, in-line converters pre-wired with mating connectors to conveniently set parameters and program a single MDrive Hybrid via a PC USB port.
| Converter Part Number | Mating Connector Type |
| MD-CC402-001 (USB to RS-422/485) | 10-pin friction lock wire crimp |
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.

Drive Protection Module
The function of the DPM75 Drive Protection Module is to limit the surge current and voltage to a safe level when DC input power is switched on and off to a motor drive. This provides the added protection necessary for reliable motor drive operation when switching the DC power, instead of the recommended AC power to the DC power supply. The device is designed to protect the motor drive when operating under all load conditions. This device does not protect the motor drive from wiring the power incorrectly.
The unit is capable of being used with 48, 60, and 75 volt rated motor drives. An external jumper selection is available so the user can match the circuit to their particular application. The DPM75 is capable of a steady state operating current of 4 amps.
The DPM75 can be used for any frame size motor drive, when properly configured. It can also be used for more than one unit provided the current and voltage do not exceed the DPM75's ratings. The maximum DPM75 ratings are 75 volts and 4 amps.
