M542
Model:M542
M542 is a type of two-phase hybrid stepping motor driver, The drive voltage of which is from
24VDC to 50VDC. It is designed for use with 2-phase hybrid stepper motor of all kinds with
42mm to 86mm outside diameter and less than 4.0A phase current. This circuit that it adopts is

Introduction:
M542 is a type of two-phase hybrid stepping motor driver, The drive voltage of which is from
24VDC to 50VDC. It is designed for use with 2-phase hybrid stepper motor of all kinds with
42mm to 86mm outside diameter and less than 4.0A phase current. This circuit that it adopts is
similar to the circuit of servo control which enables the motor run smoothly almost without
noise and vibration. Hording torque when it run under high speed is also significantly higher
than the other two-phase driver, whats 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, Computer embroider machine, packing machines and so on.
Features:
High performance, low price
Average current control, 2-phase sinusoidal output current drive
Supply voltage from 24VDC to 50VDC
Opto-isolated signal I/O
Overvoltage, under voltage, overcorrect, phase short circuit protection
15 channels subdivision and automatic idle-current reduction
8 channels output phase current setting
Offline command input terminal
Motor torque is related with speed, but not related with step/revolution

input pin
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:

PCs 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:

PC PNP output
Note: When VCC=5V, R=0

When VCC=12V, R=1K, 1/8W
When VCC=24V, R=2K,1/8W
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

4) Semi-flow function:
Semi-flow function is that there is not step pulse after 500 ms, the driver output current
automatically reduced to 70% of rated output current, which is used to prevent motor heat.
4. Power connections
(1)+VGNDPower Supply.
+V: Power supply, 16~50 VDC, Including voltage fluctuation and EMF voltage. The max
current is 5A.
(2) A+ A-
B+
B-Connecting 2 phase stepper motors.
The driver & 2-phase hybrid stepping motor use four-wire connection, the motor can be
connected in parallel & series bipolar. As for bipolar connection, it is higher performance with
high-speed, but the current of driver is larger (it is 1.73 times more than the motors winding
current).
Connecting in series, the drivers current is equal to the motor winding one.
5. Fixing
There should be 20mm of space, it cant be placed next to other heating devices, to avoid dust,
oil mist, corrosive gas, humidity and strong vibration places.
(Unit=mm)
6. Troubleshooting
1, the status on lights indication
RUN: green, normal work light.

ERR: red, failure light, the motor with phase short-circuit, overvoltage and undervoltage
protection.
