Dm542 Manual

The DM542 is a microstep stepper motor driver that uses advanced bipolar constant-current chopper technology. It provides stable operation, high torque, and significantly reduces motor noise and vibration. The driver has automatic half-flow, over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-current protection. It is suitable for 2-phase hybrid stepper motors under 4.2A and has 15 microstep settings from 400-25600 steps/rev. Switch settings select the output current and microstep resolution. The driver has isolated pulse, direction, and enable signal interfaces and motor phase interfaces.

DM542

Stepper Motor Driver Specification

Overview
The DM542 is a new generation microstep stepper motor driver. Due to the adoption of the
advanced bipolar constant-current chopper driver technology, it shows stable operation, provides
excellent high torque. Moreover, it significantly reduces the noises and vibration of the operating
motor. The DM542 has the feature of low-noise, low-vibration and low-heating. The DM542 is
DC18-50V power supply. It applies to 2-phase hybrid stepper motor under 4.2A current The
DM542 has 15 kinds of microsteps. The maximum step number is 25600 steps/rev (microstep is
1/128). The peak operating current ranges from 1.0A to 4.2A., and the output current has 8 stalls.
The DM542 has automatic semi-flow, motor misconnected ， over-voltage, under-voltage, and
over-current protection functions.

Applications
It can be applied in a variety of small scale automation equipment and instruments,
such as labeling machine, cutting machine, packing machine, drawing machine,
engraving machine, CNC machine and so on. It always performs well when it is used
in equipment which requires for low-vibration, low-noise, high-precision and
high-velocity.

current function about half automatically. "ON" indicates the quiescent current and
the dynamic current are the same. User can set SW4 to "OFF", in
order to reduce motor and driver heating and improve reliability.
