Leadshine Stepper Drives Quick Start Guide Leadshine Stepper Drives Overview Leadshine stepper drives are compact, simple drives designed to work with a wide range of NEMA stepper motors. Many stepper motors come with only 4 leads. They are easily wired to the drive terminals A+, A-, B+, and B-.
Leadshine Stepper Drives Quick Start Guide DM542E, DM556E, DM860E, DMA860E The DM542E and DM556E drives are capable of pulse and direction operation, with auto-motor config on power up. The DM860E and DMA860E drives possess the same capabilities but can also do CW and CCW pulse operation. The main difference between these models are output current range to the motor and supply voltage.
