Notes:

Ref Current table on the screen printing is used for the users of the M542T to refer.

Due to motor inductance, the actual

current in the coil may be smaller than the dynamic current setting, particularly under high speed condition.

Standstill current setting

SW4 is used for this purpose. OFF meaning that the standstill current is set to be half of the selected dynamic current, and ON
meaning that standstill current is set to be the same as the selected dynamic current.
The current automatically reduced to 60% of the selected dynamic current one second after the last pulse. Theoretically, this will
reduce motor heating to 36% (due to P=I

2

*R) of the original value. If the application needs a different standstill current, please

contact NC-Tech.

8. Wiring Notes

In order to improve anti-interference performance of the driver, it is recommended to use twisted pair shield cable.

To prevent noise incurred in PUL/DIR signal, pulse/direction signal wires and motor wires should not be tied up together. It is

better to separate them by at least 10 cm, otherwise the disturbing signals generated by motor will easily disturb pulse direction
signals, causing motor position error, system instability and other failures.

If a power supply serves several drivers, separately connecting the drivers is recommended instead of daisy-chaining.

It is prohibited to pull and plug connector P2 while the driver is powered ON, because there is high current flowing through motor

coils (even when motor is at standstill). Pulling or plugging connector P2 with power on will cause extremely high back-EMF voltage
surge, which may damage the driver.

9. Sequence Chart of Control Signals

In order to avoid some fault operations and deviations, PUL, DIR and ENA should abide by some
rules, shown as following diagram:
