Digital Stepper Drive Hardware Installation Manual
1. Family Overview
Introduction
The DM stepper drive is fully digital stepper drive developed with advanced DSP control algorithm based on the latest motion control
technology. It has achieved a unique level of system smoothness, providing optimal torque and nulls mid-range instability. Its motor
auto-identification and parameter auto-configuration feature offers quick setup to optimal modes with different motors. Compared with
traditional analog drives, DM stepper drive can power a stepper motor at much lower noise, lower heating, and smoother movement. Its
unique features make DM drive an ideal choice for high requirement applications.
Product Covered
The DM series stepper drives can be divided into two groups as follows:
Low voltage DM drives includes DM320C, DM422C, DM422, DM432C, DM442, DM556 and DM856
High voltage DM drives includes DM1182 and DM2282
This manual describes how to install and configure the above stepper drives.

Elimination of Heat
Drive’s reliable working temperature(heat sink) should be <70℃(158℉), and motor working temperature(surface) 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.
The DM stepper drives have two connectors, connector for control signals connections and connector for power and motor connections.
Most DM drives adopt screw terminals for signal and power connections like follows. Please refer to drive’s datasheet for the detail.

Digital Stepper Drive Hardware Installation Manual
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 drive output current multiply the specified per phase (or unipolar) current rating by 1.4 to
determine the peak output current.
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.
Series Connections
A series motor configuration would typically be used in applications where a higher torque at lower speeds is required. Because this
HWMN‐DM‐R2011060 6
Digital Stepper Drive Hardware Installation Manual
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
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.
NEVER disconnect or connect the motor while the power source is energized.

The DM drive can match medium and small size stepping motors (from NEMA frame size 14 to 34) made by Leadshine 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.
Multiple Drives
It is recommended to have multiple drives to share one power supply to reduce cost, if the supply has enough capacity. To avoid cross
interference, DO NOT daisy-chain the power supply input pins of the drives. Instead, please connect them to power supply separately.

The following table gives the recommended supply voltage for different drives.

9. Wiring Notes
In order to improve anti-interference performance of the drive, 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 drives, separately connecting the drives is recommended instead of daisy-chaining.
It is prohibited to pull and plug connector P2 while the drive 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 drive.
The DM drive uses a 6-bit or 8-bit DIP switch to set microstep resolution and motor operating current. When it’s not in software
configured mode, microstep resolutions and output current are programmable and set via the PC based software ProTuner. The user can
select more microstep resolution and current settings in software configuration mode than using the DIP switch. Please refer tot eh DM
drive’s software manual for the detail.

Digital Stepper Drive Hardware Installation Manual
Current Settings
For a given motor, higher drive current will make the motor to output more torque, but at the same time causes more heating in the
motor and drive. 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
drive output current depending on motor phase current, motor leads and connection methods. Phase current rating supplied by motor
manufacturer is important in selecting drive current, however the selection also depends on leads and connections.
When there is no pulse applied to the DM drive and the time exceeds the idle-time which can be configured via the PC based software,
the drive goes into idle status. SW4 is used to set the idle-current, OFF meaning that the motor coil current is automatic reduced, and
ON meaning that current is the same as the selected dynamic current.
By default, the current automatically reduced to 60% of the selected dynamic current two second after the last pulse. Theoretically, this
will reduce motor heating to 36% (due to P=I2*R) of the original value. If the user wants to change the idle time and current reduction
rate, please consult the DM drive’s software manual.

Digital Stepper Drive Hardware Installation Manual
To improve reliability, the drive incorporates some built-in protection functions. The DM drive uses one RED LED to indicate what
protection has been activated. The periodic time of RED is 3 or 5 s (seconds), and how many times the RED turns on indicates what
protection has been activated. Because only one protection can be displayed by RED LED, so the drive will decide what error to
display according to their priorities. See the following Protection Indications table for displaying priorities.
Over-current Protection
Over-current protection will be activated when continuous current exceeds the limit or in case of short circuit between motor coils or
between motor coil and ground, and RED LED will turn on once within each periodic time.
Over-voltage Protection
When power supply voltage exceeds the limit, protection will be activated and RED LED will turn on twice within each periodic time.
Motor power lines wrong & not connected will activate this protection. RED LED will turn on four times within each periodic time.
Note: When above protections are active, the motor shaft will be free or the LED will blink. Reset the drive by repowering it to make it
function properly after removing above problems. Since there is no protection against power leads (﹢,﹣) reversal, it is critical to make
sure that power supply leads correctly connected to drive. Otherwise, the drive will be damaged instantly.

In the event that your drive 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.
