M542C Full Digital Stepper Drive Manual V2.0 1 Introductions The M542C is a fully digital stepper drive developed with advanced DSP control algorithm based on the latest motion control technology. It has achieved a unique level of system smoothness, providing optimal torque and nulls mid-range instability.
3 Pin Assignment and Description The M542C has two connectors P1&P2, 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...
4.1 Control Signal Connector (P1) Interface The M542C can accept differential and single-ended inputs (including open-collector and PNP output). The M542C has 3 optically isolated logic inputs which are located on connector P1 to accept line drive control signals. These inputs are isolated to minimize or eliminate electrical noises coupled with the drive control signals.

And the Speed – torque of motor depends on winding inductance.
4.5 Power Supply Selection The M542C can match medium and small size stepping motors (frame size from NEMA 17 to 23) made by Leadshine or other motor manufactures around the world. To achieve good driving performances, it is important to select supply voltage and output current properly.
4.5.3 Selecting Supply Voltage The power MOSFETS inside the M542C can actually operate within +20~+50VDC, including power input fluctuation and back EMF voltage generated by motor coils during motor shaft deceleration. Higher supply voltage can increase motor torque at higher speeds, thus helpful for avoiding losing steps.

M542C Full Digital Stepper Drive Manual V2.0 9 Frequently Asked Questions 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.
