Introduction
The CS-D508 is a closed loop stepper drive designed to solve the loss of step problem in open loop stepper control systems,
thus increase system reliability at minimal cost increase. It implements advanced control algorithm of Leadshine based on
its tens of years’ experience in stepper and servo controls. The CS-D508 is highly reliable and affordable and performs
excellent in many industrial applications such as CNC, medical, electronics and packaging.
The CS-D508 can power 2-phase NEMA 14, 17, 23, and 24 stepper motors with incremental encoders. Compared with
traditional open loop stepper systems, a CS-D508 adopted closed loop step system can eliminate potential loss of step,
make real-time position error correction, and do not need torque reservation (100% torque implementation). Also it can
power the matched stepper motor with reduced heating, lower noise and low vibration…
