Elimination of Heat

*Recommend use side mounting for better heat dissipation

Driver’s reliable working temperature should be <70℃(158℉), and motor working temperature should be <80℃(176℉);

It is recommended to use automatic idle-current mode, namely current automatically reduce to 60% when motor stops, so as to

reduce driver heating and motor heating;

It is recommended to mount the driver vertically to maximize heat sink area. Use forced cooling method to cool the system if

necessary.

3. Pin Assignment and Description

The M542T 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. More detailed descriptions of the pins and related issues are

presented in section 4, 5, 9.

PUL+

Pulse signal: In single pulse (pulse/direction) mode, this input represents pulse signal; 4-5V when PUL-HIGH, 0-0.5V when

PUL-LOW. For reliable response, pulse width should be longer than 1.5μs. Series connect resistors for current-limiting

when+12V or +24V used. The same as DIR and ENA signals.

PUL-

DIR signal: In single-pulse mode, this signal has low/high voltage levels, representing two directions of motor rotation. For

reliable motion response, DIR signal should be ahead of PUL signal by 5μs at least. 4-5V when DIR-HIGH,0-0.5V when

DIR-LOW. Please note that motion direction is also related to motor-driver wiring match. Exchanging the connection of two

wires for a coil to the driver will reverse motion direction.

4. Control Signal Connector (P1) Interface

The M542T can accept differential and single-ended inputs (including open-collector and PNP output). The M542T has 3 optically

isolated logic inputs which are located on connector P1 to accept line driver control signals. These inputs are isolated to minimize or

eliminate electrical noises coupled onto the drive control signals. Recommend use line driver control signals to increase noise

immunity of the driver in interference environments. In the following figures, connections to open-collector and PNP signals are

illustrated.

5. Connecting the Motor

The M542T can drive any 2-pahse and 4-pahse hybrid stepping motors.

Connections to 4-lead Motors

4 lead motors are the least flexible but easiest to wire. Speed and torque will depend on winding inductance. In setting the driver

output current, multiply the specified phase current by 1.4 to determine the peak output current.

Connections to 6-lead Motors

Figure 5: 4-lead Motor Connections

Like 8 lead stepping motors, 6 lead motors have two configurations available for high speed or high torque operation. The higher

speed configuration, or half coil, is so described because it uses one half of the motor’s inductor windings. The higher torque

configuration, or full coil, uses the full windings of the phases.

Half Coil Configurations

As previously stated, the half coil configuration uses 50% of the motor phase windings. This gives lower inductance, hence, lower

torque output. Like the parallel connection of 8 lead motor, the torque output will be more stable at higher speeds. This configuration

is also referred to as half chopper. In setting the driver output current multiply the specified per phase (or unipolar) current rating by

1.4 to determine the peak output current.

Full Coil Configurations

Figure 6: 6-lead motor half coil (higher speed) connections

The full coil configuration on a six lead motor should be used in applications where higher torque at lower speeds is desired. This

configuration is also referred to as full copper. In full coil mode, the motors should be run at only 70% of their rated current to prevent

over heating.

Connections to 8-lead Motors

8 lead motors offer a high degree of flexibility to the system designer in that they may be connected in series or parallel, thus

satisfying a wide range of applications.

Series Connections

A series motor configuration would typically be used in applications where a higher torque at lower speeds is required. Because this

configuration has the most inductance, the performance will start to degrade at higher speeds. In series mode, the motors should

also be run at only 70% of their rated current to prevent over heating.

Parallel Connections

Figure 8: 8-lead motor series connections

An 8 lead motor in a parallel configuration offers a more stable, but lower torque at lower speeds. But because of the lower

inductance, there will be higher torque at higher speeds. Multiply the per phase (or unipolar) current rating by 1.96, or the bipolar

current rating by 1.4, to determine the peak output current.

6. Power Supply Selection

Figure 9: 8-lead motor parallel connections

The M542T can match Large and small size stepping motors (from Nema size 17 to 34) made by NC-Tech or other motor

manufactures around the world. To achieve good driving performances, it is important to select supply voltage and output current

properly. Generally speaking, supply voltage determines the high speed performance of the motor, while output current determines

the output torque of the driven motor (particularly at lower speed). Higher supply voltage will allow higher motor speed to be

achieved, at the price of more noise and heating. If the motion speed requirement is low, it’s better to use lower supply voltage to

decrease noise, heating and improve reliability.

Regulated or Unregulated Power Supply

Both regulated and unregulated power supplies can be used to supply the driver. However, unregulated power supplies are

preferred due to their ability to withstand current surge. If regulated power supplies (such as most switching supplies.) are indeed

used, it is important to have large current output rating to avoid problems like current clamp, for example using 4A supply for 3A

motor-driver operation. On the other hand, if unregulated supply is used, one may use a power supply of lower current rating than

that of motor (typically 50%～70% of motor current). The reason is that the driver draws current from the power supply capacitor of

the unregulated supply only during the ON duration of the PWM cycle, but not during the OFF duration. Therefore, the average

current withdrawn from power supply is considerably less than motor current. For example, two 3A motors can be well supplied by

one power supply of 4A rating.

Multiple Drivers

It is recommended to have multiple drivers to share one power supply to reduce cost, if the supply has enough capacity. To avoid

M542T Microstepping Driver Manual V1.0

www.omc-stepperonline.com

cross interference, DO NOT daisy-chain the power supply input pins of the drivers. (Instead, please connect them to power supply

separately.)

Selecting Supply Voltage

The power MOSFETS inside the M542T can actually operate within +24 ~ +100VDC, including power input fluctuation and back

EMF voltage generated by motor coils during motor shaft deceleration. Higher supply voltage can increase motor torque at higher

speeds, thus helpful for avoiding losing steps. However, higher voltage may cause bigger motor vibration at lower speed, and it may

also cause over-voltage protection or even driver damage. Therefore, it is suggested to choose only sufficiently high supply voltage

for intended applications, and it is suggested to use power supplies with theoretical output voltage of +24 ~ +50VDC, leaving room

for power fluctuation and back-EMF.

7. 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:

Microstep Resolution Selection

Microstep resolution is set by SW5, 6, 7, 8 of the DIP switch as shown in the following table:

Current Settings

For a given motor, higher driver current will make the motor to output more torque, but at the same time causes more heating in the

motor and driver. Therefore, output current is generally set to be such that the motor will not overheat for long time operation. Since

parallel and serial connections of motor coils will significantly change resulting inductance and resistance, it is therefore important to

set driver output current depending on motor phase current, motor leads and connection methods. Phase current rating supplied by

motor manufacturer is important in selecting driver current, however the selection also depends on leads and connections. The first

three bits (SW1, 2, 3) of the DIP switch are used to set the dynamic current. Select a setting closest to your motor’s required current.

Notes: Ref Current table on the screen printing is used for the users of the M542T to refer. 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 NC-Tech.

8. Wiring Notes

In order to improve anti-interference performance of the driver, it is recommended to use twisted pair shield cable.

To prevent noise incurred in PUL/DIR signal, pulse/direction signal wires and motor wires should not be tied up together. It is

better to separate them by at least 10 cm, otherwise the disturbing signals generated by motor will easily disturb pulse direction

signals, causing motor position error, system instability and other failures.

If a power supply serves several drivers, separately connecting the drivers is recommended instead of daisy-chaining.

It is prohibited to pull and plug connector P2 while the driver is powered ON, because there is high current flowing through motor

coils (even when motor is at standstill). Pulling or plugging connector P2 with power on will cause extremely high back-EMF voltage

surge, which may damage the driver.

9. Sequence Chart of Control Signals

In order to avoid some fault operations and deviations, PUL, DIR and ENA should abide by some

rules, shown as following diagram:

Remark:

a) t1: ENA must be ahead of DIR by at least 5 s. Usually, ENA+ and ENA- are NC (not connected). See “Connector P1

Configurations” for more information.

b) t2: DIR must be ahead of PUL effective edge by 5 s to ensure correct direction;

c) t3: Pulse width not less than 1.5 s;

d) t4: Low level width not less than 1.5 s.

10. Protection Functions

To improve reliability, the driver incorporates some built-in protections features.

Short-voltage and Over-voltage protection

When power supply voltage exceeds 75VDC, over-voltage protection will be activated and Alarm indicator LED will turn on.

Over-current Protection

Protection will be activated when continuous current exceeds the limit.

Short Circuit Protection

Protection will be activated in case of short circuit between motor coils or between motor coil and ground.

11. Frequently Asked Questions

In the event that your driver doesn’t operate properly, the first step is to identify whether the problem is electrical or mechanical in

nature. The next step is to isolate the system component that is causing the problem. As part of this process you may have to

disconnect the individual components that make up your system and verify that they operate independently. It is important to

document each step in the troubleshooting process. You may need this documentation to refer back to at a later date, and these

details will greatly assist our Technical Support staff in determining the problem should you need assistance.

Many of the problems that affect motion control systems can be traced to electrical noise, controller software errors, or mistake in

wiring.
