DIR+ / DIR-
DIR signal: In single-pulse mode, this signal has low/high voltage levels,
representing two directions of motor rotation; in double-pulse mode (software
configurable), this signal is counter-clock (CCW) pulse, active both at high level
and low level (software configurable). For reliable motion response, DIR signal
should be ahead of PUL signal by at least 5μs. 4-5V when DIR-HIGH, 0-0.5V when
DIR-LOW.
Please note that rotation direction is also related to motor-Drive wiring match.
Exchanging the connection of two wires for a coil to the Drive will reverse motion
direction.
ENA+ / ENA-
Enable signal: This signal is used for enabling/disabling the drive. High level for
enabling drive (NPN control signal, PNP and Differential control signals are on the
contrary, namely Low level for enabling.) and low level for disabling drive. Usually
left UNCONNECTED (ENABLED).
Selecting Active Pulse Edge and Control Signal Mode
DMD870 stepper drive supports PUL/DIR and CW/CCW modes and pulse actives at rising or
falling edge. See more information about these settings in Section 13. Default setting is
PUL/DIR mode and rising edge active (NPN, and PNP control signal is on the contrary).
