Introduction, Features and Applications Cooling Natural Cooling or Forced cooling Introduction Environment Avoid dust, oil fog and corrosive gases The m542 is a high performance microstepping driver based on pure-sinusoidal current Ambient Temperature 0 50 . control technology. Owing to the above technology and the self-adjustment technology (self-adjust 40%RH 90%RH. Operating Environment Humidity current control parameters) according to different motors, the driven motors can run with smaller noise, lower heating, smoother movement and have better performances at higher speed than most Operating Temperature 70 Max of the drivers in the markets.

6 It is suitable for driving 2-phase and 4-phase hybrid stepping motors. Vibration Max Features Storage Temperature -20 65 . Weight Approx. 280g (10 oz). l High performance, cost-effective l Automatic idle-current reduction l Supply voltage up to +50 VDC l 15 selectable resolutions in decimal and Mechanical Specifications (unit: mm [inch]). l Output current up to binary, up to 25,600 steps/rev l Self-adjustment technology l Suitable for 2-phase and 4-phase motors l Pure-sinusoidal current control technology l Support PUL/DIR and CW/CCW modes l Pulse input frequency up to 300 KHz l Short-voltage, over-voltage, over-current l TTL compatible and optically isolated input protections Applications Suitable for a wide range of stepping motors, from NEMA size 17 to 34.

7 It can be used in various kinds of machines, such as X-Y tables, engraving machines, labeling machines, laser cutters, pick-place devices, and so on. Particularly adapt to the applications desired with low noise, low heating, high speed and high precision. 2.

Pin Assignment and Description CW/CCW mode and active CW/CCW mode and active at low level (The fixed level) at high level (The fixed level).

9 The m542 has two connectors, connector P1 for control signals connections, and connector P2. Figure 2: J1 and J3 jumpers for power and motor connections. The following tables are brief descriptions of the two connectors. More detailed descriptions of the pins and related issues are presented in section 4, 5, 9. Connector P2 Configurations Connector P1 Configurations Pin Function Details Pin Function Details +V Power supply, 20~50 VDC, Including voltage fluctuation and EMF voltage. Pulse signal: In single pulse (pulse/direction) mode, this input represents pulse signal, each rising or falling edge active (set by inside jumper J1); 4-5V when GND Power Ground.

10 PUL+. PUL-HIGH, when PUL-LOW. In double pulse mode (pulse/pulse) , A+, A- Motor Phase A. this input represents clockwise (CW) pulse active at high level or low level (set by inside jumper J1, J2). For reliable response, pulse width should be B+, B- Motor Phase B. PUL- longer than s. Series connect resistors for current-limiting when +12V or +24V used. The same as DIR and ENA signals. 4. Control Signal Connector (P1) Interface DIR signal: In single-pulse mode, this signal has low/high voltage levels, representing two directions of motor rotation; in double-pulse mode (set by The m542 can accept differential and single-ended inputs (including open-collector and PNP.))
