| Note | Different motors match different gear levels; not all gear levels can operate normally on the same motor. |
Also, different motors need different gear levels. As a result, users should test the motor and load together before final use.
Control Port 6P Interface
First, the 6P control port supports PUL, DIR, and EN signals. Therefore, users can connect external signals for speed, direction, and enable control.
| Signal Pin | Signal Name | Function Description | Signal Voltage Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | PUL | Speed control frequency input Input frequency range 0Hz-2KHz Motor speed changes continuously | DC 5-36V |
| 2 | DIR | Direction control signal. Used to control forward or reverse motor rotation. | DC 5-36V |
| 3 | EN | Enable control signal. When this signal is active, the PUL and DIR signals take effect. | DC 5-36V |
In addition, the PUL input supports 0Hz-2KHz frequency control. As a result, the motor speed can change continuously within the supported range.
General Operation Test
Next, the button functions help users test the driver without a complex control system. Also, the same buttons can enter automatic reciprocating mode.
| Button Name | Single Press Function | No Combination Operation Function |
|---|---|---|
| Speed + | During operation, increases the motor speed. A total of 29 gear levels are available. Note: Different motors match different gear levels; not all gear levels can operate normally. | Press simultaneously with the “Speed -” key to enter automatic reciprocating mode. |
| Speed – | During operation, reduces the motor speed. A total of 29 gear levels are available. Note: Different motors match different gear levels; not all gear levels can operate normally. | Press simultaneously with the “Speed +” key to enter automatic reciprocating mode. |
| Direction A | 1. Start: In the stopped state, press this key and the motor starts in direction A. 2. Direction change: During operation, press this key and the motor immediately changes to direction A. 3. Set boundary: In automatic reciprocating mode, set the current position as the direction A boundary point. | Press once to rotate; press again to pause. |
| Direction B | 1. Start: In the stopped state, press this key and the motor starts in direction B. 2. Direction change: During operation, press this key and the motor immediately changes to direction B. 3. Set boundary: In automatic reciprocating mode, set the current position as the direction B boundary point. | Press once to rotate; press again to pause. |
Therefore, users can adjust speed and direction from the board buttons. However, each motor and load should be tested to confirm the suitable gear level.
Automatic Reciprocating Run Program Operation Instructions
First, automatic reciprocating mode helps the motor move back and forth using a memorized step count. Therefore, it is useful for simple repeated travel control.
| Operation Step | Operation Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Enter Mode | After the device is powered on, press and hold the “Speed +” and “Speed -” keys at the same time to enter automatic reciprocating mode. |
| 2. Initial Operation | After entering the mode, the device starts one-way operation with a large default step count (about 65500 steps) until it reaches the boundary. |
| 3. Set Travel | Before the device reaches the boundary for the first time, press the “Direction” key at any time. The device immediately memorizes the step count from the starting point to the current position. |
| 4. Start Reciprocating | After the travel is set, the device starts automatic back-and-forth reciprocating motion using the memorized step count as the single-trip distance. |
| 5. Adjust Speed | During reciprocating motion, the speed can be manually adjusted at any time. |
| 6. Reset | To change the travel, press the “Direction” key again while the device is running in one direction. The device updates the single-trip step count to the distance from the current position to the starting point. |
| Note | Frequently pressing the “Direction” key will cause the memorized single-trip step count to become smaller and smaller. |
Also, users can adjust the speed during reciprocating motion. As a result, the same setup can support different travel speeds during testing.
Reciprocating Motion Pause Time Setting Instructions
Next, the pause time setting controls how long the driver waits during reciprocating motion. Therefore, users can match the delay time to the final machine action.
| Operation Step | Operation Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Enter Setting | Press and hold the Speed – key while powering on to enter pause time setting mode. The default pause time is 1 second. |
| 2. Time Range | 1-999 seconds. Display rule: when greater than 100 seconds, the hundreds digit and tens digit are displayed, and the decimal point of the tens digit lights up. |
| 3. Increase Time | For 100 seconds and below, press the Speed + key once to add 1 second. Above 100 seconds, press the Speed + key once to add 10 seconds. Maximum 999 seconds. |
| 4. Decrease Time | Above 100 seconds, press the Speed – key once to subtract 10 seconds. For 100 seconds and below, press the Speed – key once to subtract 1 second. Minimum 1 second. |
In addition, the pause time range is 1-999 seconds. As a result, users can set short or long delays for different reciprocating motion needs.
Driver Instructions – Memory Function
First, the memory function can save direction, speed, reciprocating run flag, and reciprocating step count. Therefore, the driver can restore saved operation after the next power-on.
| Operation Step | Operation Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Memory Content | Direction, speed, reciprocating run flag, reciprocating run step count |
| 2. Enable Function | Press and hold the Speed + key while powering on. The digital tube briefly displays “-“. The memory function takes effect. |
| 3. Disable Function | Press and hold the Speed + key again while powering on. The memory function is disabled, and all memory parameters return to default. |
| 4. Power-On Prompt | When the memory function is enabled, the digital tube briefly displays “-” each time the device is powered on. |
| 5. Memory Trigger | After key operation is completed, if there is no operation within 20 seconds, the digital tube displays “-” and automatically saves all memory parameters. |
| 6. Parameter Effective | After the next power-on, the device automatically runs according to the memorized direction and speed. |
Also, the digital tube displays “-” when the memory function is enabled or saved. As a result, users can confirm the memory status during setup.
Wiring Instructions and Product Dimensions
Next, the wiring image helps users check the connection layout. Therefore, it can reduce wiring mistakes before motor testing.
In addition, the board-only dimension drawing helps users check installation space. As a result, it is easier to design the driver into compact equipment.
Also, the main product image shows the stepper motor speed controller style. Therefore, users can review the board form before sample or bulk order.
Other Instructions
Finally, the following instructions help users avoid overload, wrong input voltage, and motor damage. Therefore, they should be checked before installation and operation.
| Item | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | The motor must not be used beyond the limit load, including stall condition. Damage caused by stall is not covered by warranty. |
| 2 | Please match the DC power supply according to the rated input voltage of the product, DC 12V/24V. Over-voltage or under-voltage power supply is prohibited. |
| 3 | When the load torque equals the rated torque, the speed is the rated value. When the actual load exceeds the rated value, the output speed will decrease accordingly. |
| 4 | When selecting the motor, use the rated torque as the main reference to avoid overload operation. |
| 5 | Operation near or beyond the limit load torque may cause damage to the internal structure of the motor. |
| 6 | Reducing the motor speed will directly reduce the output torque, so the working condition requirements should be evaluated in advance. |
| 7 | The motor will generate dB noise during operation. The noise level may fluctuate slightly with speed and load changes, which is normal. |
Operation Safety Notes
- First, avoid stall: Do not run the motor in stall condition.
- In addition, match the voltage: Use a suitable DC power supply for the product.
- Also, check rated torque: Select the motor based on rated torque to avoid overload.
- Next, test the load: Actual load changes can reduce output speed.
- Finally, evaluate noise: Motor noise may change slightly with speed and load.
In short, this stepper motor simple driver is suitable for compact control systems that need speed adjustment, direction control, reciprocating motion, memory function, and DC 5-36V input.
