1.2 Applications The DM556T stepper drive are designed to power 2 phase (1.8°) or 4-phase (0.9°) NEMA 23, 24, and 34 hybrid stepper motors. It can be easily adopted in many industries (CNC, medical, automation, packaging…), such as X-Y tables, engraving machines, labeling machines, mills, plasma, laser cutters, pick and place devices, and so on.
* Side mounting recommended for better heat dissipation 2.4 Elimination of Heat DM556T reliable working temperature should be < 60℃ (140°F) It is recommended to use automatic idle-current mode to reduce motor heating. That means set the SW4 pin of DIP switch at “OFF”...
3. Connection Pin Assignments and LED Indication The DM556T has two connector blocks P1&P2 (see above picture). P1 is for control signals connections, and P2 is for power and motor connections. The following tables are brief descriptions of the two connectors. More detailed descriptions of the pins and related issues are presented in section 4, 5, 9.
3.3 LED Light Indication There are two LED lights for DM556T. The GREEN one is the power indicator which will be always on generally. The RED one is a protection indicator which will flash 1-2 times in a 3-second period, when protection enabled for a DM556T.
DM556T Digital Stepper Drive User Manual 5.2.1 Half Coil Configuration As previously stated, the half coil configuration uses 50% of the motor phase windings. This gives lower inductance, hence, lower torque output. Like the parallel connection of 8 lead motor, the torque output will be more stable at higher speeds.
6.2 Power Supply Sharing Multiple DM556T drives can share one power supply to 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. To avoid cross interference, DO NOT daisy-chain connect the power supply input pins of the Drivers.
DM556T Digital Stepper Drive User Manual of +24 - +48 VDC, leaving room for power line voltage fluctuation and back-EMF. Higher supply voltage can increase motor torque at higher speeds, thus helpful for avoiding losing steps. However, higher voltage may cause bigger motor vibration at lower speed, and it may also cause over-voltage protection or even drive damage.
The current automatically reduced to 50% of the selected dynamic current 0.4 second after the last pulse. 7.3 Automatic Motor Matching & Self Configuration When powered on a DM556T will automatically configure itself with the best settings to match the driven stepper motor for optimal performance. No action is needed.
