Fault Output The FAULT output is the default configuration. It signals a fault condition of CS-D508, including over-voltage, over-current, or position following error. This output can be used to drive devices such as a relay, a LED, etc.; or as an input signal for a PLC or I/O devices.
3.1.2 Typical Control and Fault Output Connections The CS-D508 can accept differential and single-ended control signal inputs (open-collector and PNP output). A CS- D508 has 3 optically isolated control inputs, PUL, DIR, and ENA. Refer to the following two figures for connections of open-collector and PNP signals.

3.6 LED Light Indication There are two LED lights for CS-D508, one red and one green. The GREEN one is the power indicator which will be always on generally. The RED one is a protection indicator. It is off always when a CS-D508 operates normally, but will flash 1, 2 or 7 times in a 5-second period when error protection is enabled.
5.2 Power Supply Sharing Multiple CS-D508 drives can share one power supply to save space and reduce cost, if that power supply has enough power capacity. To avoid cross interference, connect each stepper drive directly to the shared power supply separately.

CS-D508 Closed Loop Stepper Drive User Manual Version 3.1 Figure 7: Sequence chart of control signals Remark: t1: ENA must be ahead of DIR by at least 500ms. Usually, ENA+ and ENA- are NC (not connected). See “Connector P1 Configurations” for more information.
10. Software Configuration The CS-D508 is designed for simple setup and implementation. For most applications no software configuration or tuning is needed especially when driving Leadshine stepper motors with encoders (see Appendix A). If you want to do fine tuning or custom configurations such as micro-step, current percentage change…, you can use Leadshine’s free...
CS-D508 Closed Loop Stepper Drive User Manual Version 3.1 12. Troubleshooting 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.

CS-D508 Closed Loop Stepper Drive User Manual Version 3.1 13. Warranty Twelve Month Warranty Leadshine Technology Co., Ltd. warrants its products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months from shipment out of factory. During the warranty period, Leadshine will either, at its option, repair or replace products which proved to be defective.
CS-D508 Closed Loop Stepper Drive User Manual Version 3.1 Appendix A. Leadshine CS-D508 Compatible Stepper Motors The following Leadshine stepper motors with 1000-line encoders have been confirmed working with the CS-D508 closed loop stepper drive. Frame Size Torque Length Model...
CS-D508 Closed Loop Stepper Drive User Manual Version 3.1 Appendix B. Leadshine CS-D508 Compatible Power Supplies It is highly suggested to use the following Leadshine power supplies to power CS-D508 to get optimized performance. Those power supply are specially designed for stepper and servo controls.
Confirm both encoder and power cables are connected properly and tightly secured. Power off the drive then swap the A+ and A- motor connections to the CS-D508 drive. The reason is the definitions of your Motor A+ and A- are different from those marked on CS-D508 motor connection pins (P3 of Figure 2).
