Driver functional capabilities

Technical features

PLD442 is an available microstepping stepper motor driver.

The device has inbuilt coil short-circuit protection, protection against 

overvoltage and overheating. The driver works with standard control 

protocol STEP/DIR/ENABLE. All driver’s control inputs are optoisolated 

and  logic levels 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V compatible.

The driver is AUTO-SLEEP mode supplied which  is turned on when 

there is no STEP signal.

The device is perfect for control of bipolar and unipolar Purelogic 

R&D stepper motors (PL42/PL57 series) as well as other stepper 

motors.  

• Optoisolation of module control signals  STEP/DIR/ENABLE.

•   During STEP/DIR mode (MACH3, Linux, CNC via  LPT  or controller 

PLCM USB/Ethernet).

•  AUTO-SLEEP mode, driver after 1 sec standstill (lack of STEP signal) 

automatically enters  rotor hold   mode (full/half operating current) for 

heating reduction.

• Coil short-circuit module protection, over-voltage protection.

• Convenient  dismountable clip connectors  to step motor,  power 

source and control signals.

• Stepper motor driver PLD442 — 1 pcs.

Power off device before making any connections and mode operation 

changing.
Do not mount  the power switch after the power source (on the driver 

power line).
Power switch should be installed before power supply, at ~220V side.  

Do not connect the drivers in series, only ‘star’ connection is allowed.
Do not connect power supply’s «-» to ground, mass, housing, etc.
Strictly observe the polarity of power supply and control signals 

connections. Radiator mounting (it is not included in the set) with a 

minimum size of 100 cm

2

 is required.
