3. Pin Assignment and Description
The DMA860H has two connectors, connector P1 for control signals connections, and connector P2 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.
Connector P1 Configurations
Pin Function
Pulse signal: In single pulse (pulse/direction) mode, this input represents pulse signal, each

rising or falling edge active (set by inside jumper J1); 4.5-5V when PUL-HIGH, 0-0.5V when
PUL-LOW. In CW/CCW mode (set by inside jumper J2), this input represents clockwise (CW)
PUL-
pulse. For reliable response, pulse width should be longer than 2.5μs.
DIR signal: In single-pulse mode, this signal has low/high voltage levels, representing two
DIR+
directions of motor rotation; in CW/CCW mode (set by inside jumper J2), this signal is
counter-clock (CCW) pulse. For reliable motion response, DIR signal should be ahead of PUL
signal by 5μs at least. 4.5-5V when DIR-HIGH, 0-0.5V when DIR-LOW. Please note that
DIR-
rotation direction is also related to motor-driver wiring match. Exchanging the connection of
two wires for a coil to the driver will reverse motion direction.
Enable signal: This signal is used for enabling/disabling the driver. High level (NPN control

signal, PNP and differential control signals are on the contrary, namely low level for enabling.)

Selecting Active Pulse Edge or Active Level and Control Signal Mode
There are two jumpers J1 and J2 inside the DMA860H specifically for selecting active pulse edge and control signal
