Selecting Between Full and Half Step Operation

The top switch in the bank of DIP switches selects between FULL and 

HALF step operation.

Setting Phase Current

The drive uses a combination of DIP switch settings to set the current. There is al-

ways a base current of 0.4A. To increase this current slide the switch for each value 

towards the label until they add up to your required value. 

Suppose you want to set the driver for 2.2 amps per phase.  You need the 0.4 A 

base current plus another 1.6 and 0.2 A. 

2.2 = 0.4 + 1.6 + 0.2

Slide the 1.6 and 0.2 A switches toward the labels as shown in the figure.

Connecting Logic

A schematic diagram of the input circuit is shown below.

You must supply 5 volts DC to activate the LEDs on 

the input side of the optoisolators.   The maximum 

current draw is 15 mA.

Your controlling logic must be capable of sinking at 

least 5 mA to control each drive input.  Most CMOS 

and open collector TTL devices are directly compat-

ible with this drive. Logic low, or 0, for a given input 

occurs when that input is pulled to less than 0.8 volts 

DC. In this state the LED is conducting current. Logic 

high, or 1, occurs when the input is greater then 4 volts or open. 

STEP

 tells the driver when to move the motor one step.  

DIRECTION

 signals which way the motor should turn.  

ENABLE

 allows the user to turn off the current to the motor by setting this signal 

to logic 0.   

If you have no need to disable the amplifiers, you don’t need to connect 

anything to the ENABLE input.

Connecting the Motor

STEP motors have 4, 6  or 8 leads, these are wired to 4 connections on the 

drive in various combinations.

Motors will perform differently 

according  to the way it is con-

nected, to find out more about 

the different ways of connecting 

your motor, see the specs or 

FAQs on our website. 

 

Warning:  When connecting the motor to the driver, be sure that the motor 

power supply is off.  Secure any unused motor leads so that they can’t 

short to anything. Never disconnect the motor while the drive is powered 

up. 

Never connect motor leads to ground or to a power supply!

Using the Oscillator

Drives with an O suffix are equipped with internal 

pulse generators that you can use to drive the mo-

tor.  To set the drive to oscillator mode, simply find 

the jumper located near the center of the printed 

circuit board and move it to the SLEW setting.  The 

figure at the right shows the proper setting of the 

jumper.

To change the slew speed, locate the trimpot labeled SPEED.  By turning the brass-

screw you can raise or lower the speed.  Turning the screw clockwise makes the 

motor run faster.

The acceleration and deceleration rates can also be adjusted using the 

trimpots labeled ACCEL and DECEL.  Turning the screw clockwise makes 

the motor accelerate and decelerate faster.
