11. Protection Functions 

To improve reliability, the driver incorporates some built-in protections features. 

Over-voltage Protection                             

When power supply voltage e52VDC, protection will be activated and power indicator LED 
will turn red.   

Coil-ground Short Circuit Protection 

Protection will be activated in case of short circuit between motor coil and ground. 

Attention

:

 Since there is no protection against power leads (

) reversal, it is critical to make 

sure that power supply leads correctly connected to the driver. Otherwise, the driver will be damaged 
instantly. When power supply voltage is lower than +20VDC, the driver will not works properly.

12. Frequently Asked Questions 

In  the  event  that  your  M542  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.
