    (10-25%), quicker response time, control command smoothing, easy self-test, etc. The EM870S is able to power 2 phase (1.8°) and 4 phase (0.9°) stepper motors smoothly with very low motor heating & noise. It can take 20-80VDC supply voltage and output 0.5 to 7.0A current. All the micro step and output current configurations can be easily done via built in DIP switches.

    Connectors, DIP switches, and LED locations The EM870S has 5 connectors P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5, 3 DIP switches S1, S2 and S3. P1 is for control signal connections, P2 is for fault output, P3 is for power connection, P4 is for motor connection and P5 is for fine tuning.

    3.6 Status LED Lights There are two LED lights for EM870S. The GREEN one is the power indicator which should be always on in normal circumstance. The RED one is a drive status indication light, which will be OFF while working normally but ON and...
  • Page 8: Control Signal And Fault Output

    Fault Output When over voltage or over current protection happens, EM870S red status LED light will blink and the impedance state between ALM and COM- will change (from low to high or high to low depending on configuration) and can thus be detected.

    Figure 7 Brake Output Connection 5. Stepper Motor Connections EM870S can drive 2-phase and 4-phase bipolar hybrid stepper motors with 4, 6, or 8 leads, Leadshine also offers easy-to-use and good-performance motors with 4-lead that have been tested with EM870S: https://www.motioncontrolproducts.com/electric-motors/stepper-motors/hybrid-stepper-motors/...
  • Page 10: 8-Lead Motor Connection

    Although setting the drive output current to 1.4 times of driven motor phase current will get the most torque, it is suggested to set an EM870S’s output current (peak of sinusoidal) to no more than 1.2 times the stepper motor’s phase current to prevent overheating. Refer to the figure 12 for how to connect an 8-lead stepper motor for parallel connection.

    ON duration of the PWM cycle, but not during the OFF duration. 6.2 Power Supply Sharing Multiple EM870S drives can share the same power supply, if that power supply has enough capacity. To avoid cross interference, connect each EM870S DIRECTLY to that shared power supply separately instead of connecting those power connectors of drives in daisy-chain connection.
  • Page 12: Idle Current Configuration (Sw4)

    7.2 Idle Current Configuration (SW4) The SW4 of an EM870S is used to set output current percentage when motor is standstill. Idle current percentage will be set to 50% at OFF position, and 90% at ON position. When the driven stepper motor is idle (no movement) for 0.4 second, the output current of EM870S will be automatically reduced to the configured percentage.

    (SW11) EM870S can configure itself with the best match to the driven stepper motor. This feature may need to be disabled for some applications or when it is used to drive a specially designed stepper motor. To do that, set the DIP switch SW11 to ON position and the drive will be set to its default settings.

    It is better to separate them by at least 10 cm; otherwise the disturbing signals generated by motor will easily disturb pulse direction signals, causing motor position error, system instability and other failures. If only one power supply serves multiple EM870S drives, separately connecting the drives to the power supply is ...
  • Page 15: Protection Functions

    11. Protection Functions EM870S incorporates are built with over-voltage and over-current error protections. When it is under error protection, the red LED light will blink for 1 or 2 or 4 times in a period of 3 seconds. If fault output connection is connected, the impedance mode between ALM+ and ALM- will be changed (See “Fault Output Configuration”...
  • Page 16: Troubleshooting

    EM870S Digital Stepper Drive User Manual 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.
