1. GENERAL 

 

The P860 is a fully digital high performance microstepping driver based on the latest DSP 
technology. 
 
It is suitable for driving 2-phase and 4-phase hybrid stepping motors.   

 

 

Features of this Driver

 

 High Performance at low cost 

 Supply voltage 24V dc to 110V dc 

 Current selectable from 2.8A to 8.5A / phase 

 Inaudible chopping frequency 

 TTL compatible and optically isolated input signals 

 Automatic idle-current reduction 

 Mixed-decay current control for reduced motor heating 

 16 Channel microstepping in decimal and binary 

 Suitable for 4, 6 or 8 lead motors 

 Step, Direction and Enable inputs 

 Short-circuit, open-circuit, under / over voltage and over temperature 

  protection. 

 

Applications of this Driver: 
 

Suitable for a wide range of stepping motors of Size NEMA 17, 23, and 34, usable for various 
kinds  of  machines,  such  as  X 

–  Y  Tables,  labelling  machines,  laser  cutters,  engraving 

machines,  and  pick-place  devices;  particularly  useful  in  applications  with  low  noise,  low 
vibration, high speed and high precision requirements.
