3.2 Power supply input
The power supply of the drive can be both AC power and DC power, and the input voltage range is 24V~50VDC.
Input power polarity should not be reversed!!!
The drive’s work mode is constant current control. The drive output the voltage to motor by changing the input
power into PWM chopping wave when it is working. In this case, the input power will affect the performance of
drive.
Power selection reference:
Voltage:
The stepper motor has the characteristic of torque decreasing as the motor speed increases, and the voltage of
the input power supply will affect the declining amplitude of the motor torque at high speed. Increasing the
voltage of the input power supply appropriately can increase the output torque of the motor at high speed. And

DM422S USER MANUAL

use low voltage when it is low speed required, can lower motor’s heating appropriately.
Current:
The work of the drive is to convert the input power supply with high voltage and low current to the low voltage
and high current at both terminals of the motor winding.In this case, the current of power supply will be lower
than the motor’s.
The effects of regeneration voltage:
When the stepper motor is working, it also keeps the characteristics of the generator. At deceleration, the kinetic
energy accumulated by the load is converted into electric energy, which will be superimposed on the drive circuit
and the input power. In application, attention should be paid to the setting of acceleration and deceleration time
to prevent the protection of the drive or power supply.
When the drive is powered off, similarly, the drive LED indicator will be on if the load is increased to allow the
motor to move

The matching motor of the DM 422S drive is the low resistance and low inductance hybrid stepper motor.
The common 2-phase stepper motor’s lead number are 4, 8 and 6.
There is only one connection mode for 4 leads motor.
Series and parallel connection mode are used by 8 leads motor:
4-wire motor
8-wire series
8-wire parallel
6-wire series
6-wire center shaft head

DM422S USER MANUAL

When series used, the winding inductance increased. The set of drive current should be about 0.7times than
before. This is suitable for low speed required.
When parallel used, the winding inductance decreased. The set of drive current should be about 1.4times than
before. This is suitable for high speed required.
Parallel and central tapping connection mode are used by 6 leads motor:
When parallel used, all the winding connected, and the inductance was higher. This is suitable for low speed
required.
When central tapping used, half of the winding connected, and the inductance was lower. This is suitable for high
speed required.
3.4 Control signal connection
3.4.1 PUL, DIR port: connection for pulse command
The signal interface of standard DM series drive is switch.
The upper controller can be the pulse signal generating device, such as PLC, MCU, control card and controller.
The pulse level that DM 556S drive can be used: 3.3V-24V (no need to connect resistor)
Pulse&Direction（PUL + DIR）
Dual Pulse （CW +CCW）
Orthogonal Pulse（A/B）
3.4.2 ENA port: used to enable or disable
When the default optocoupler is off, the driver outputs current to the motor. When the internal optocoupler is
turned on, the driver will cut off the current of each phase of the motor to make the motor free. At this time, the
step pulse is not responded.
The ENA input can be used to restart the drive when the motor is in an error state. First, the existing fault should

be eliminated, and then a falling edge signal is input to the ENA terminal, and the drive can be re-energized.
The level logic of the ENA signal can be set to the opposite, with the logic being opposite to the above.4.

DIP SW1, SW2, SW3 are used to set current which is output from drive to motor.
Generally, the current setting is the motor rated current. If your system has high request to the heating, please
decrease the current properly to lower the motor’s heating, but at the same time, the output torque will be
lower. If you don’t need the motor running continuous, you can increase the current to higher the torque. But be

DIP SW5, SW6, SW7, SW8 are used to set the number of pulses required per revolution of the motor.
Motor speed = command pulse frequency / per revolution pulse
Motor stroke = number of command pulses / pulse per revolution
4.3 Half / full flow selection
DIP SW4 is used to set the quiescent current value when the motor stops.
Off means that when the drive power-on pulse stops, the driver switches the current output to the motor to half
of the rotation (half-flow);
On indicates that the drive maintains the same current output as the rotation to the motor (full flow) when the
drive power-on pulse is stopped. In general use, SW4 should be set to off, so that the heat generated by the
motor and the driver is reduced, and the reliability is improved.
