7. DRIVER CONNECTION TO MOTOR
Series Connection
P542A drive can drive any 4, 6 or 8 lead hybrid stepper motors.
Series Connection:
A series configuration would typically be used in applications where a higher torque at
lower speeds is required. Because this configuration has the most inductance, the
performance will start to degrade at higher speeds. Use the per phase (or unipolar)
current rating divided by 1.4 to determine the peak output current
Parallel Connection
An 8 lead motor in parallel configuration offers a more stable, but lower torque at lower
speeds. Because of the lower inductance, there will be higher torque at higher speeds.
Multiply the per phase (or unipolar) current rating by rating by 1.4 to determine peak output
current.
