ON/OFF capabilities. The Reduce Current Enabled automatically reduces motor current to 50% of the set value after the last step is made (20msec delay). With the DPC50501, various step resolutions can be implemented by the onboard dip switch. These divisions range from 200 steps per revolution to 12800 steps per revolution. -

“1-2” and OFF (0) when they are in position “2-3”. The jumpers are located on the side of the DPC50501. The table below shows how to configure the jumpers for a given axis. JP8 is the LSB (Least Significant Bit) and JP4 is the MSB (Most Significant Bit). -

1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 Methods of Communication There are two methods for sending commands to the DPC50501’s controller. One is to directly talk to the controller by using Direct Talk Mode. This is usually used with a computer or PLC (Pro- grammable Logic Controller), where the computer or PLC gives the controller serial commands to off-load its processor. -

The two wire configuration reduces cabling costs by requiring only three wires. A, B and ground. The DPC50501 is designed to allow either the two or four wire configuration. To use the 2 wire configuration simply wire TX+ to RX+, and TX- to RX- on your converter box. Then run a wire from ground, a wire from TX+/RX+ and a wire from TX-/RX-, to the first controller in the network. -
Page 7: Terminating Resistor
Terminating Resistor To eliminate noise on the transmission lines a terminating resistor may need to be used. If needed the termination resistor need only be added to the last (furthest from the converter box) controller in the network. A termination resistor with a value of 120 ohms is needed in certain conditions; when using a 4000ft. -

Page 10: Motor Selection
Since the DPC50501 is constant current source, it is not necessary to use a motor that is rated at the same voltage as the supply voltage. What is important is that the driver is set to the ap- propriate current level based on the motor being used. -
Page 11: Step Motor Selection Guide
The output current for the motor used when microstepping is determined differently from that of a full/half step unipolar driver. In the DPC50501, a sine/cosine output function is used in rotating the motor. The output current for a given motor is determined by the motors current rating and the wiring configuration of the motor. -
Page 12: Step Motor Configurations
Step Motor Configurations Step motors can be configured as 4, 6, or 8 leads. Each configuration requires different currents. Refer to the lead configurations and the procedures to determine their output current. WARNING: Step Motors will run hot even when configured correctly. Damage may occur to the motor is a higher than specified current is used. -
Page 13: Connecting The Step Motor
Parallel Connection: When configuring the motor windings in parallel, multiply the per phase (or unipolar) current rating by 2.0 to determine the current setting potentiometer value. Note: After the current has been determined, according to the motor connections above, use Table 3 to choose the proper setting for the current setting potentiometer. -
Page 14: Section 2: Controller Functions
Section 2: Controller Functions Move Number of Steps: The move number of steps command causes the motion to start in the direction last specified. This command will move the motor the number of steps given. (Range: 0 to 8388607) Move to Position: The move to position command specifies the next absolute position to go to. The controller automatically sets the direction and number of steps needed to go to that position. - Page 15 Jog Inputs: Jog is a manual function. The user can select the direction and speed (fast or slow) by grounding the appropriate combinations of inputs on a particular axis. These inputs are located on the terminal block. To jog a motor, it is necessary to ground the jog input on the axis for the direction desired. For fast jog, both the fast and jog command for the appropriate direction must be low at the same time.
- Page 16 Verify: The verify command causes the controller to send data back to the PC or PLC. The data is sent as an ASCII decimal string followed by a carriage return and a line feed. The permissible verify commands are shown below. Command Description Verify Acceleration/Deceleration Verify Base Speed...
