SD808 - USER MANUAL 1 Presentation Thank you for purchasing the new MICROPAP EASY MOTION SD-808 driver. SD-808 is a circuit designed for the operation of bipolar step motors with serial RS-485 communication. Main Features: RS-485 asynchronous serial port galvanically isolated.
SD808 - USER MANUAL 2 Initial Precautions Make sure you read the information on motor current adjustment and motor connection method with special wiring configurations carefully. Make sure that the power supply has enough power. Choose wires with a suitable section, without pre-tinning or with pressed tips and as short as possible.
SD808 - USER MANUAL 3 Connections The SD-808 has plug-in terminals of different pitch (to minimize connection errors) for communication signals, auxiliary input, limit switches and power connectors. Figure 1 Serial mode connections Page 7 of 35...

SD808 - USER MANUAL 4 Power Supply The voltage of the driver’s power supply must be between 24VDC and 72VDC, with a maximum current of 8A. The value of the right voltage to power a stepper motor depends on the desired high maximum speed performance.
SD808 - USER MANUAL Figure 5 8-wire serial connection Figure 6 Parallel 8-wire connection It is very important not to disconnect/connect the motor with the controller supplied. Check the connections before turning on the power! 5.1 Motor current The adjustment of the maximum current provided by the controller must be selected at the peak rated motor current (Inominal * 1.41) in order to avoid overheating in its windings which would shorten its life.
SD808 - USER MANUAL 5.2 Temperature Control The driver self-protects against excessive current demands and associated temperature risings. The driver includes a heat sink designed to cool the parts of the circuit which, under normal operation, are subject to heating. For its proper ventilation, the driver must be maintained vertically.
SD808 - USER MANUAL 6 Operation Modes The SD-808 driver allows you to work in two different modes: 6.1 Serial mode In this mode, the movements are made by sending a serial frame from a control device or PC. Serial communication can be point-to-point or through bus connection of several drivers.
SD808 - USER MANUAL 7.1 Driver Configuration The configuration of the driver is done through a point-to-point connection and with initial device identifier 0x30. The configuration allows to vary, among other parameters, the device identifier, the maximum current level and the working mode of the device. Frame format sent to the driver: Nº...

PC (or PLC) command. Generally it improves the speed performance as it allows to define ramps of acceleration and breaking. The SD-808 driver allows an acceleration and deceleration (braking) ramp of up to 1000 steps in each of them and a total movement of 1000000 steps.
SD808 - USER MANUAL Figure 8 Speed Profile 8.1 Speed Limits The system has certain speed limitations that depend on the micro-selector switch, the selected type of motor and the power supply voltage of the driver. The following table shows the speed limit values: 200 steps motors 400 steps motors Full Steps...

We strongly recommend that the motor current and other parameters are adjusted using the free software provided.
SD808 - USER MANUAL 10 Software MicroPaP offers an application for the management and configuration of the driver that can be downloaded from the website (http://www.micropap.com/download). At the start of the program the following window will appear: Figure 9 Initial Screen The tabs on the right side of the window allow you to identify and connect the PC port.

These last two areas, as well as the working mode selection tabs are common in all working modes that can be given with this controller. Figure 10 Application screen sections.
SD808 - USER MANUAL Track. It allows the generation, execution and storage of up to 10 movements with different profiles that are called tracks. Special. Reserved for programming designed especially for the client. Exit. Allows the application to exit. In order to enable the Series, Track and Special tabs, select the appropriate mode of operation of the driver in the configuration area / tab.
SD808 - USER MANUAL In this window, the frames sent from the PC to the controller are represented in green and each byte is E =>, on the other hand, the bytes of the frames received from the controller are represented in blue and each byte is preceded by R <=. In all cases the representation of the value of given bytes is carried out in hexadecimal format.
