Introduction

The MD5042 is a high performance microstep driver using the most modern technologies. It can be used to drive 2 or 4 phase hybrid stepper motors (bipolar or unipolar). Thanks to an advanced constant current management technique, it is possible to make the most of the characteristics of your motors. The 3-state current control technology allows precise control of the current in the motor windings with low ripple and therefore less heating.

Applications

Usable with a wide range of Nema 17 and 23 stepper motors, and for different types of application such as XY tables, marking machines, laser cutting, engraving or placement machines. Particularly recommended for applications requiring low vibrations, high speeds and precision.

Pin Function

Details

PUL﹢(+5V)

Pulse inputs: In PULSE / DIRECTION mode, each rising edge on this input causes a step to advance. Depending on the signal applied to the PUL + or PUL- input, the input will be active from 4 to 5V or from 0 to 0.5V. In CW / CCW mode, the input is used to advance one step in the CW direction. The minimum pulse duration is 1.5 µs. For use with control signals greater than 5V, an additional series resistor is required.

PUL- (PUL)

DIR+ (+5V)

DIR input: In PULSE / DIR mode, this input allows you to select the direction of rotation. In CW / CCW mode (mode configuration by jumper J3 in the housing), the input is used to advance one step in the CCW direction. To ensure quality movements, a change of direction must be followed by a delay of 5ms minimum before sending the pulses.

DIR- (DIR)

ENA+ (+5V)

Enable input: This input is used to activate / deactivate the motor supply. At + 5V, the power is activated. At 0V, the power is deactivated. If this input is not connected, power is activated.

ENA- (ENA)

Note:  drivers are set to PULSE/DIRECTION mode by default.
