Description

Direct2Motion provides three types of stepper drives, including M series, ND series and DM series. The M

series of analog stepper drives adopt precise analog current control and are characterized by superior high‐speed

torque, relatively low stepping noise and low motor heating. The ND series of analog stepper drives adopt

advanced bipolar constant‐current chopping and pure‐sinusoidal current control technology, which allows coil

current to be well controlled with relatively small current ripple, therefore smaller motor noise and less motor

heating can be achieved. The DM series of digital stepper drives are DSP‐based innovative products. Their

features include super‐low stepping noise, anti‐resonance, low‐speed ripple smoothing and low motor heating.

Applications

Direct2Motion’s M/ND/DM series stepper drives are suitable for driving a wide range of stepper motors, from

frame size NEMA 8 to NEMA 51. Typical applications include CNC routers, laser cutters, laser markers, medical

equipment, X‐Y tables, measurement equipment, and many other industrial and office automation applications.

It's suitable for driving any 2‐phase and 4‐phase hybrid stepping motors. By using advanced bipolar constant‐current chopping technique, it can output more speed and power from the same motor, compared with traditional drives like L/R drives.

The stepper drive M415B is suitable for a wide range of stepping motors from NEMA 8 to NEMA 23, which is widely used in various kinds of machines, such as CNC routers, cutting machines, packing devices, pick‐place devices, and so on. Particularly suitable for the applications require low cost, low noise, low heating.

█ Electrical Specifications Parameters Min Typical Max Unit

Output current 0.21 ‐ 1.5 A

Supply voltage +15 ‐ +40 VDC

█ Function Description Function Description

Microstep Setting 7 selectable microstep resolutions up to 12,800 steps/rev. Set by SW4, 5, 6 of the DIP switch.

Current Setting The first three bits (SW1, 2, 3) of the DIP switch are used to set the operating current, which is up to 1.5 A.

Automatic Standstill Current Reduction

The current will be automatically reduced to 60% of the selected operating current 0.4 second after the last pulse.Theoretically, this will reduce motor heating to 36% (due to P=I

2*R) of the original value.

Control Signals OPTO is for the opto‐coupler power supply, and its typical voltage is +5V. PUL is for the pulse command signal. DIR is for direction control signal. ENA is for the enable/ disable control signal. Series connect resistors for current‐limiting when +12V or +24V is used.

Motor Connector A+, A‐ and B+, B‐ are for motor connections. Exchanging the connection of two wires for a coil to the drive will reversedefault motion direction.

Power Connector Recommended to use power supplies with output of +18 to 36VDC, leaving space for power fluctuation and back‐EMF.

Indicators There are two LED indicators on the drive for power and alarm signals. When the Green LED is on, the drive is powered up. When the Red LED is on, the drive is in fault status. When in fault status, the motor shaft will be free. Reset the drive by re‐powering it to make it function properly after solving problem(s).

It can be used in various kinds of machines, such as laser cutters, laser markers, high precision X‐Y tables, labeling machines, and so on. Its unique features make the DM422 an ideal solution for applications that require low‐speed smoothness.








Microstep Setting Microstep resolution is programmable. When not in software configured mode, microstep resolution is set by SW5, 6 of the DIP switch. In order to avoid losing steps, do not change the microstep resolution on the fly.

Current Setting Output current is programmable. When not in software configured mode, operating current is set by SW1,2,3 of theDIP switch, which is Up to 2.2A.


Self‐test and Auto‐setup

SW4 is used for the automatic standstill current reduction, self‐test and auto‐setup function. When the former active, the current will be automatically reduced to 60% of the selected operating current 0.4 second after the last pulse. Theoretically, this will reduce motor heating to 36% (due to P=I


If the user changes the status/position of SW4 twice in 1 second, the drive will self‐test the driving motor and auto setup control parameters, offering optimum performance with different motors.

Control Signals OPTO is for the opto‐coupler power supply, and its typical voltage is +5V. PUL is for the pulse command signal. DIR is fordirection control signal. ENA is for the enable/ disable control signal. Series connect resistors for current‐limiting when +12V or +24V is used.




█ Parameter Settings Microstep resolution and output current are programmable. When not in software configured mode, the drive uses a 6‐bit DIP switch to set microstep resolution and motor operating current, as shown below:
