Elimination of Heat
*Recommend use side mounting for better heat dissipation
Driver’s reliable working temperature should be <70
℃
(158
℉
), and motor working temperature should be <80
℃
(176
℉
);
It is recommended to use automatic idle-current mode, namely current automatically reduce to 60% when motor stops, so as to
reduce driver heating and motor heating;
It is recommended to mount the driver vertically to maximize heat sink area. Use forced cooling method to cool the system if
necessary.
3. Pin Assignment and Description
The M542T has two connectors, connector P1 for control signals connections, and connector P2 for power and motor connections.
The following tables are brief descriptions of the two connectors. More detailed descriptions of the pins and related issues are
presented in section 4, 5, 9.

PUL+
Pulse signal: In single pulse (pulse/direction) mode, this input represents pulse signal; 4-5V when PUL-HIGH, 0-0.5V when
PUL-LOW. For reliable response, pulse width should be longer than 1.5μs. Series connect resistors for current-limiting
when+12V or +24V used. The same as DIR and ENA signals.
PUL-
DIR+
DIR signal: In single-pulse mode, this signal has low/high voltage levels, representing two directions of motor rotation. For
reliable motion response, DIR signal should be ahead of PUL signal by 5μs at least. 4-5V when DIR-HIGH,0-0.5V when
DIR-LOW. Please note that motion direction is also related to motor-driver wiring match. Exchanging the connection of two
wires for a coil to the driver will reverse motion direction.
DIR-
ENA+
Enable signal: This signal is used for enabling/disabling the driver. High level(NPN control signal, PNP and Differential control
signals are on the contrary, namely Low level for enabling.) for enabling the driver and low level for disabling the driver.
