Setting the parameters of a stepper motor driver is a crucial step in ensuring the normal operation of the motor. First, the driver's current value needs to be set, typically adjusted based on the motor's rated current to avoid overheating or insufficient driving force. Second, the microstepping setting determines the motor's stepping accuracy; common microstepping settings include 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8. Higher microstepping improves motion smoothness but may reduce torque. Additionally, the motor's acceleration and deceleration times need to be set to avoid mechanical shock.
For different applications, such as precision instruments or industrial automation, parameter settings need to be adjusted. For example, precision instruments may require higher microstepping and longer acceleration/deceleration times, while industrial applications may prioritize torque and response speed. Finally, protection parameters such as overcurrent and overheat protection are also essential to ensure the safe operation of the motor and driver. These products are currently available in our store. Our brushless motor drivers feature high torque, high reliability, and a wide range of applications.
Adjust the following parameters using the driver's DIP switches (power off operation):
Current Setting: DIP switches S4-S6 correspond to the current settings. The value should be slightly less than the motor's rated current to avoid overheating or step loss.
Microstepping Setting: DIP switches S1-S3 set the microstepping level. Higher microstepping levels result in higher precision but slower speed (e.g., with 400 microsteps, 400 pulses equal one revolution).
Half-current/Full-current Mode: Switch S3 controls the current when stationary (half-current reduces heat generation, full-current enhances torque).
