When above protections are active, the motor shaft will be free or the red LED blinks. Reset the drive by repowering it
to make it function properly after removing above problems.
10. Software Configuration
The CS-D403 is designed for simple setup and implementation. For most applications no software configuration or
tuning is needed especially when driving Leadshine stepper motors with encoders. If you want to do fine tuning or
custom configurations such as micro-step, current percentage change…, you can use Leadshine’s free ProTuner
software to make the changes.
11. Accessories
If you plan to use the ProTuner software, contact your supplier or Leadshine to purchase the RS232 cable with part
number
for connecting the CS-D403 to a computer with Windows 7/8/10 installed. In the case of using
USB to RS232 conversion, contact your supplier or Leadshine for such a cable with part number
which
has been verified working fine.

12. Troubleshooting
In the event that your drive doesn’t operate properly, the first step is to identify whether the problem is electrical or
mechanical in nature. The next step is to isolate the system component that is causing the problem. As part of this
process you may have to disconnect the individual components that make up your system and verify that they operate
independently. It is important to document each step in the troubleshooting process. You may need this documentation
to refer back to at a later date, and these details will greatly assist our Technical Support staff in determining the
problem should you need assistance.
Many of the problems that affect motion control systems can be traced to electrical noise, controller software errors, or
mistake in wiring.
