3.6 Status LED Lights
There are two LED lights for CS-D508, one red and one green. The GREEN one is the power indicator which will be always
on generally. The RED one is a protection indicator. It is off always when a CS-D508 operates normally, but will flash 1, 2
or 7 times in a 5-second period when error protection is enabled. Different number of flashes indicates different
protection type (read Section 9).
4. Motor Selection
The CS-D508 is designed to power 2-phase (or 4-phase 0.9 degree) NEMA 17/23/24 stepper motors with 10000-line
incremental encoders (recommend 1000-line). Leadshine offers many high-performance stepper motors compatible with
the CS-D508 which you can find in the Appendix A of this document. The CS-D508 can also power similar stepper motors
with incremental encoders from third-party suppliers.
Notes
: please contact our technical sales team for stepper motors with 2000-line, 2500-line, 5000-line encoders.
5. Power Supply Selection
The CS-D508 can power small and medium size closed loop stepper motors (frame size from NEMA17 to 24) from
Leadshine (see Appendix A) or other motor manufacturers. To get good system performance, it is important to select
proper supply voltage and output current. Generally speaking, supply voltage determines the high-speed performance of
the motor, while output current determines the output torque of the driven motor (particularly at lower speed). Higher
