    M542 Economical Microstepping Driver


    1. Introduction
    The M542 is an economical microstepping driver based on patented technology of Leadshine. It is suitable for driving 2-phase and 4-phase hybrid stepping motors. By using the advanced bipolar constant-current chopping technique, it can output more speed and torque from the same motor compared with traditional drivers, such as L/R drivers. Its 3-state current control technology allows coil currents to be well controlled and with relatively small current ripple, therefore less motor heating is achieved.

    5. Pin Assignment and Description


    The M542 has two connectors, connector P1 for control signals connections, and connector P2 for power and motor connections. The following tables are brief descriptions of the two connectors of the M542.

    Connector P2 Configurations
    Pin Function GND +V A+, AB+,BDetails DC power ground DC power supply, 20~50VDC, Including voltage fluctuation and EMF voltage. Motor Phase A Motor Phase B

    Connector P1 Configurations
    Pin Function PUL+(+5V) Details Pulse signal: In single pulse (pulse/direction) mode, this input represents pulse signal, active at each rising or falling edge (set by inside jumper J1); 4-5V when PUL-HIGH, 0-0.5V when PUL-LOW. In double pulse mode (pulse/pulse) , this input represents clockwise (CW) pulseactive at high level or low level (set by inside jumper J1). For reliable response, pulse width should be longer than 1.5s. Series connect resistors for current-limiting when +12V or +24V used. 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 inside jumper J3), this signal is counter-clock (CCW) pulseactive at high level or low level (set by inside jumper J1). For reliable motion response, DIR signal should be ahead of PUL signal by 5s at least. 4-5V when DIR-HIGH, 0-0.5V when DIR-LOW. Enable signal: This signal is used for enabling/disabling the driver. High level (NPN control signal, PNP and Differential control signals are on the contrary, namely Low level for enabling.) for enabling the driver and low level for disabling the driver. Usually left UNCONNECTED (ENABLED).

    6. Selecting Microstep Resolution and Driver Output Current


    This driver uses an 8-bit DIP switch to set microstep resolution, and motor operating current, as shown below:

    PUL-(PUL)

    DIR+(+5V)

    Microstep Resolution Selection


    Microstep resolution is set by SW5, 6, 7, 8 of the DIP switch as shown in the following table: Microstep 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 5 10 20 25 40 50 100 125 Steps/rev.(for 1.8motor) 400 800 1600 3200 6400 12800 25600 1000 2000 4000 5000 8000 10000 20000 25000 SW5 OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF SW6 ON OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF SW7 ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF SW8 ON ON ON ON ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF

    Selecting Active Edge or Active Level and Control Signal Mode There are two jumpers J1 and J3 inside the M542 specifically for selecting active edge or active level and control signal mode, as shown in figure 2. Default setting is PUL/DIR mode and upward-rising edge active.

    (a) J1, J3 open circuit PUL/DIR mode and active at upward-rising edge

    (b) J1 short circuit, J3 open circuit PUL/DIR mode and active at downward-falling edge

    (c) J1 open circuit, J3 short circuit CW/CCW mode and active at high level (The fixed level) Figure 2: J1 and J3 jumpers

    (d) J1, J3short circuit CW/CCW mode and active at low level (The fixed level)

    Current Settings
    The first three bits (SW1, 2, 3) of the DIP switch are used to set the dynamic current. Select a setting closest to your motors required current. Dynamic Current Setting Peak current (A) 1.00 1.46 1.91 2.37 2.84 3.31 3.76 4.20 RMS (A) 0.71 1.04 1.36 1.69 2.03 2.36 2.69 3.00 SW1 ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF SW2 ON ON OFF OFF ON SW3 ON ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF

    ON
    OFF OFF

    ON
    OFF

    Notes: Due to motor inductance, the actual current in the coil may be smaller than the dynamic current setting, particularly under high speed condition. Standstill Current Setting SW4 is used for this purpose. OFF meaning that the standstill current is set to be half of the selected dynamic current, and ON meaning that standstill current is set to be the same as the selected dynamic current. The current automatically reduced to 60% of the selected dynamic current one second after the last pulse. Theoretically, this will reduce motor heating to 36% (due to P=I2*R) of the original value. If the application needs a different standstill current, please contact Leadshine.

    7. Typical Connection
    A complete stepping system should include stepping motor, stepping driver, power supply and controller (pulse generator). A typical connection is shown as figure 3.
