Manual of 2-phase hybrid stepper motor driver DQ542MA Introduction: DQ542MA is a type of two-phase hybrid stepping motor driver, the drive voltage of which is from 18VDC to 50VDC. It is designed for use with 2-phase hybrid stepper motor of all kinds with 42mm to 86mm outside diameter and less than 4.0A phase current.

driver. ENBL- ENBL- is the negative end of direction input pin. Usually left unconnected (enabled) 2) Pins wiring diagram: PC’s control signals can be active in high and low electrical level. When the high electrical level is active, all control negative signals will be connected together to GND. When low electrical level is active, all control positive signals will be connected together to public port.

Fig. 2 Input port circuit ( Yin connection) PC PNP output Note: When VCC=5V, R=0 When VCC=12V, R=1K, >1/8W When VCC=24V, R=2K,>1/8W R must connect in the control signal part. 3. Function choice ( Using DIP pins to achieve this function) 1) Micro step resolution is set by SW 5,6,7,8 of the DIP switch as shown in the following table: PULS E/RE...

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 is set to be the same as the selected dynamic current. 3) Output current setting: The first three bits (SW 1, 2, 3) of the DIP switch are used to set the dynamic current.
