Stepper Motor Driver DQ420MA

Product No.: N2012422221349

 
 
Introduction:
DQ420MA  is a type  of two-phase hybrid stepping motor driver, The drive voltage of which is from
12VDC to 36VDC. It is designed for use with 2-phase hybrid stepper motor of all kinds with 20mm
to 42mm outside diameter and less than 2.0A phase current. This circuit that it adopts is similar to
the circuit of servo control which enables the motor to run smoothly almost without noise and vibration.
Holding torque when DM420A rund at high speed is also significantly higher than the other two-phase
drivers, what¡¯s more, the positioning accuracy is also higher. It is widely used in middle and big size
numerical control devices such as curving machine, CNC machine, and computer embroider machine,
packing machines and so on.

Pins assignments and description:
 
1)   Connector Pins  Configurations
 

Pin Function
                Details                                                          
PUL +,PUL-
Pulse signal, PUL+ is the positive end of pulses  input pin
                  PUL- is the negative end of pulse  input pin
 
DIR+,DIR-
DIR signal: DIR+ is the positive end of direction input pin
                 DIR- is the negative end of direction input pin
ENBL+
 
Enable signal:  ENBL+ is the positive end of direction input pin. This signal is used for enabling/disabling the driver. High level for enabling the driver and low level for disabling the driver.
ENBL-
ENBL- is the negative end of direction input pin. Usually left unconnected (enabled)

 
2) Pins wiring diagram:
PC¡¯s control signals can be active in high and low electrical level. When the high electrical level is active,
all control negative signals will be connected together to GND. When low electrical level is active, all
control positive signals will be connected together to public port. Now give two examples(Open collector
&PNP), please check them:

Note: When VCC=5V, R=0
        When VCC=12V, R=1K, £¾1/8W
       When VCC=24V, R=2K,£¾1/8W
R must connect in the control signal part .
 
 
3.Function choice ( Using DIP pins to achieve this function)
 
1) Micro step resolution is set by SW 5,6,7,8 of the DIP switch as shown in the following table:

2) Standstill current setting
SW4 is used for this purpose. OFF meaning that the standstill current is set to be half of the
selected dynamic current and ON meaning that standstill is set to be the same as the selected
dynamic current.
 
3) Output current setting:
The first three bits (SW 1, 2, 3)of the DIP switch are used to set the dynamic current. Select
a setting

4) Semi-flow  function:
Semi-flow function is that there is not step pulse after200 ms, the driver output current
automatically reduced to 40% of rated output current, which is used to prevent motor heat.

2) Troubles

Alarm indicator
 
Reasons
Measures
LED off turn
Wrong connection for power
Check wiring of power
Low-voltages for power
Enlarge voltage of power
Motor doesn¡¯t run, without holding torque
Wrong connection of stepper motor
Correct its wiring
RESET signal is  effective when offline
Make RESET ineffective
Motor doesn¡¯t run, but maintains holding torque
Without input pulse signal
Adjust PMW & signal level
Motor runs wrong direction

Change connection for any of 2 wires
Wrong input direction signal
Change direction setting
Motor¡¯s holding torque is too small
Too small relative to current setting
Correct rated current setting
Acceleration is too fast
Reduce the acceleration

Rule out mechanical failure
Driver does not match with the motor
Change a suitable driver
