3. Pin Assignment and Description

The DMD4022 has two connectors, connector P1 for control signals connections, and connector

P2 for power and motor connections. The following tables are brief descriptions of the two

connectors. More detailed descriptions of the pins and related issues are presented in section 4, 5,

Connector P1 Configurations

Pin Function Details

PUL

Pulse signal: In single pulse (pulse/direction) mode, this input represents pulse

signal, each rising or falling edge active (software configurable); 4-5V when

PUL-HIGH, 0-0.5V when PUL-LOW. In double pulse mode (pulse/pulse) ,

this input represents clockwise (CW) pulse，active both at high level and low

level (software configurable). For reliable response, pulse width should be

longer than 7.5µs. Series connect resistors for current-limiting when +12V or

+24V used. The same as DIR and ENA signals.

DIR

DIR signal: In single-pulse mode, this signal has low/high voltage levels,

representing two directions of motor rotation; in double-pulse mode (software

configurable), this signal is counter-clock (CCW) pulse，active both at high

level and low level (software configurable). For reliable motion response, DIR

signal should be ahead of PUL signal by 5µs at least. 4-5V when DIR-HIGH,

0-0.5V when DIR-LOW. Please note that rotation direction is also related to

motor-driver wiring match. Exchanging the connection of two wires for a coil

to the driver will reverse motion direction.

OPTO Opto-coupler power supply, and the typical voltage is +5V. Series connect

resistors (at the PUL, DIR, ENA terminals) for current-limiting when +12V or

+24V used.

ENA Enable signal: This signal is used for enabling/disabling driver. High level for

enabling the driver and low level for disabling the driver. Usually left

UNCONNECTED (ENABLED).

Selecting Active Pulse Edge and Control Signal Mode

The DMD4022 supports PUL/DIR and CW/CCW modes and pulse active at rising or falling edge.

See more information about these settings in Section 13. Default setting is PUL/DIR mode and

rising edge active.

Connector P2 Configurations

Pin Function Details

+Vdc Power supply, 20~40 VDC, Including voltage fluctuation and EMF voltage.

GND Power Ground.

A+, A- Motor Phase A

B+, B- Motor Phase B

4. Control Signal Connector (P1) Interface

The DMD4022 uses opto-couplers to increase noise immunity and interface flexibility. If the

opto-couplers’ supply voltage is higher than +5V, a current-limiting resistor needs to be

connected at each command signal terminal to prevent overheating the opto-couplers. In the

following figures, connections to open-collector and differential controller are illustrated.

Figure 2: Connections to open-collector signal (common-anode)

Figure 3: Connections to differential control signal

5. Connecting the Motor

The DMD4022 can drive any 2-pahse and 4-pahse hybrid stepping motors.

Connections to 4-lead Motors

4 lead motors are the least flexible but easiest to wire. Speed and torque will depend on winding

inductance. In setting the driver output current, multiply the specified phase current by 1.4 to

determine the peak output current.

Figure 4: 4-lead Motor Connections

Connections to 6-lead Motors

Like 8 lead stepping motors, 6 lead motors have two configurations available for high speed or

high torque operation. The higher speed configuration, or half coil, is so described because it uses

one half of the motor’s inductor windings. The higher torque configuration, or full coil, uses the

full windings of the phases.

Half Coil Configurations

As previously stated, the half coil configuration uses 50% of the motor phase windings. This gives

lower inductance, hence, lower torque output. Like the parallel connection of 8 lead motor, the

torque output will be more stable at higher speeds. This configuration is also referred to as half

chopper. In setting the driver output current multiply the specified per phase (or unipolar) current

rating by 1.4 to determine the peak output current.

Figure 5: 6-lead motor half coil (higher speed) connections

Full Coil Configurations

The full coil configuration on a six lead motor should be used in applications where higher torque at

lower speeds is desired. This configuration is also referred to as full copper. In full coil mode, the

motors should be run at only 70% of their rated current to prevent over heating.

Figure 6: 6-lead motor full coil (higher torque) connections

Connections to 8-lead Motors

8 lead motors offer a high degree of flexibility to the system designer in that they may be

connected in series or parallel, thus satisfying a wide range of applications.

Series Connections

A series motor configuration would typically be used in applications where a higher torque at lower

speeds is required. Because this configuration has the most inductance, the performance will start to

degrade at higher speeds. In series mode, the motors should also be run at only 70% of their rated

current to prevent over heating.

Figure 7: 8-lead motor series connections

Parallel Connections

An 8 lead motor in a parallel configuration offers a more stable, but lower torque at lower speeds.

But because of the lower inductance, there will be higher torque at higher speeds. Multiply the per

phase (or unipolar) current rating by 1.96, or the bipolar current rating by 1.4, to determine the

peak output current.

Figure 8: 8-lead motor parallel connections

NEVER disconnect or connect the motor while the power source is energized.

6. Power Supply Selection

The DMD4022 can match medium and small size stepping motors (from NEMA frame size 14 to

23) made by Soprolec or other motor manufactures around the world. To achieve good driving

performances, it is important to select supply voltage and output current properly. Generally

speaking, supply voltage determines the high speed performance of the motor, while output current

determines the output torque of the driven motor (particularly at lower speed). Higher supply

voltage will allow higher motor speed to be achieved, at the price of more noise and heating. If the

motion speed requirement is low, it’s better to use lower supply voltage to decrease noise, heating

and improve reliability.

Regulated or Unregulated Power Supply

Both regulated and unregulated power supplies can be used to supply the driver. However,

unregulated power supplies are preferred due to their ability to withstand current surge. If

regulated power supplies (such as most switching supplies.) are indeed used, it is important to

have large current output rating to avoid problems like current clamp, for example using 4A

supply for 3A motor-driver operation. On the other hand, if unregulated supply is used, one may

use a power supply of lower current rating than that of motor (typically 50%～70% of motor

current). The reason is that the driver draws current from the power supply capacitor of the

unregulated supply only during the ON duration of the PWM cycle, but not during the OFF

duration. Therefore, the average current withdrawn from power supply is considerably less than

motor current. For example, two 3A motors can be well supplied by one power supply of 4A

rating.

Multiple Drivers

It is recommended to have multiple drivers to share one power supply to reduce cost, if the supply

has enough capacity. To avoid cross interference, DO NOT daisy-chain the power supply input

pins of the drivers. Instead, please connect them to power supply separately.

Selecting Supply Voltage

The power MOSFETs inside the DMD4022 can actually operate within +20 ~ +40VDC, including

power input fluctuation and back EMF voltage generated by motor coils during motor shaft

deceleration. Higher supply voltage can increase motor torque at higher speeds, thus helpful for

avoiding losing steps. However, higher voltage may cause bigger motor vibration at lower speed,

and it may also cause over-voltage protection or even driver damage. Therefore, it is suggested to

choose only sufficiently high supply voltage for intended applications, and it is suggested to use

power supplies with theoretical output voltage of +20 ~ +36VDC, leaving room for power

fluctuation and back-EMF.

7. Selecting Microstep Resolution and Driver Output Current

Microstep resolutions and output current are programmable, the former can be set from full-step to

102,400 steps/rev and the latter can be set from 0.3A to 2.2A. See more information about

Microstep and Output Current Setting in Section 13.

However, when it’s not in software configured mode, this driver uses a 6-bit DIP switch to set

microstep resolution, and motor operating current, as shown below:

Microstep Resolution Selection

When it’s not in software configured mode, microstep resolution is set by SW5, 6 of the DIP

switch as shown in the following table:

Microstep Steps/rev.(for 1.8°motor) SW5 SW6

1 to 512 Default/Software configured ON ON

8 1600 OFF ON

16 3200 ON OFF

32 6400 OFF OFF

Current Settings

For a given motor, higher driver current will make the motor to output more torque, but at the

same time causes more heating in the motor and driver. Therefore, output current is generally set

to be such that the motor will not overheat for long time operation. Since parallel and serial

connections of motor coils will significantly change resulting inductance and resistance, it is

therefore important to set driver output current depending on motor phase current, motor leads and

connection methods. Phase current rating supplied by motor manufacturer is important in selecting

driver current, however the selection also depends on leads and connections.

When it’s not in software configured mode, the first three bits (SW1, 2, 3) of the DIP switch are

used to set the dynamic current. Select a setting closest to your motor’s required current.

Dynamic current setting

Peak Current RMS Current SW1 SW2 SW3

Default/Software configured (0.3 to 2.2A) ON ON ON

0.5A 0.35 A OFF ON ON

0.7A 0.50 A ON OFF ON

1.0A 0.71 A OFF OFF ON

1.3A 0.92 A ON ON OFF

1.6A 1.13 A OFF ON OFF

1.9A 1.34 A ON OFF OFF

2.2A 1.56 A OFF OFF OFF

Notes: Due to motor inductance, the actual current in the coil may be smaller than the dynamic

current setting, particularly under high speed condition.

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 current is set to be the same as the

selected dynamic current.

The current automatically reduced to 60% of the selected dynamic current one second after the last

pulse. Theoretically, this will reduce motor heating to 36% (due to P=I2*R) of the original value. If

the application needs a different standstill current, please contact Soprolec.

8. Wiring Notes

zIn order to improve anti-interference performance of the driver, it is recommended to use

twisted pair shield cable.

zTo prevent noise incurred in PUL/DIR signal, pulse/direction signal wires and motor wires

should not be tied up together. It is better to separate them by at least 10 cm, otherwise the

disturbing signals generated by motor will easily disturb pulse direction signals, causing

motor position error, system instability and other failures.

zIf a power supply serves several drivers, separately connecting the drivers is recommended

instead of daisy-chaining.

zIt is prohibited to pull and plug connector P2 while the driver is powered ON, because there

is high current flowing through motor coils (even when motor is at standstill). Pulling or

plugging connector P2 with power on will cause extremely high back-EMF voltage surge,

which may damage the driver.

9. Typical Connection

A complete stepping system should include stepping motor, stepping driver, power supply and

controller (pulse generator). A typical connection is shown as figure 9.

Figure 9: Typical connection

10. Sequence Chart of Control Signals

In order to avoid some fault operations and deviations, PUL, DIR and ENA should abide by some

rules, shown as following diagram:

Figure 10: Sequence chart of control signals

Remark:

a) t1: ENA must be ahead of DIR by at least 5µs. Usually, ENA+ and ENA- are NC (not

connected). See “Connector P1 Configurations” for more information.

b) t2: DIR must be ahead of PUL effective edge by 5µs to ensure correct direction;

c) t3: Pulse width not less than 7.5µs;

d) t4: Low level width not less than 7.5µs.

11. Protection Functions

To improve reliability, the driver incorporates some built-in protection functions. The DMD4022

uses one RED LED to indicate what protection has been activated. The periodic time of RED is 3

s (seconds), and how many times the RED turns on indicates what protection has been activated.

Because only one protection can be displayed by RED LED, so the driver will decide what error to

display according to their priorities. See the following Protection Indications table for displaying

priorities.

Over-current Protection

Over-current protection will be activated when continuous current exceeds 16A or in case of short

circuit between motor coils or between motor coil and ground, and RED LED will turn on once

within each periodic time (3 s).

Over-voltage Protection

When power supply voltage exceeds 42±1 VDC, protection will be activated and RED LED will

turn on twice within each periodic time (3 s).

Phase Error Protection

Motor power lines wrong & not connected will activate this protection. RED LED will turn on

four times within each periodic time (3 s).

Attention: When above protections are active, the motor shaft will be free or the LED will turn

red. Reset the driver by repowering it to make it function properly after removing above problems.

Since there is no protection against power leads (﹢,﹣) reversal, it is critical to make sure that power

supply leads correctly connected to driver. Otherwise, the driver will be damaged instantly.

12. FrequentlyAsked Questions

In the event that your driver doesn’t operate properly, the first step is to identify whether the

problem is electrical or mechanical in nature. The next step is to isolate the system component that

is causing the problem. As part of this process you may have to disconnect the individual

components that make up your system and verify that they operate independently. It is important to

document each step in the troubleshooting process. You may need this documentation to refer back

to at a later date, and these details will greatly assist our Technical Support staff in determining the

problem should you need assistance.

Many of the problems that affect motion control systems can be traced to electrical noise,

controller software errors, or mistake in wiring.

13. Professional Tuning Software ProTuner

Introduction

This section will provide an overview of connection and basic setup instructions for Soprolec’s

digital stepping driver DMD4022 using the ProTuner software. These instructions will walk you

through the following steps necessary to start up your driver and motor. This section is intended for

setting up the driver with the ProTuner.

Software Installation

The ProTuner is windows based setup software for tuning Soprolec’s digital stepper driver

DMD4022. It can run in windows systems, including Win95/Win98/WindowsNT/ Windows

2000/Windows XP. And the selected PC should have 1 serial port at least for communicating with

the driver.

Double click “ProTuner_DMD4022.exe” to begin installing the ProTuner. See Figure 11. Click

Next to enter the “License Agreement” window. See Figure 12.

Figure 11: Begin to install the ProTuner

Set the “Shortcut Folder” in Figure 15 and continue to install the ProTuner by following Figure 16

and Figure 17. An Installation Successful window will appear if the ProTuner is installed

successfully. See Figure 18.

Figure 16: Installation information summarization

Figure 17: Installing the ProTuner

Figure 18: Finish installation

Connections and Testing

Connect the stepping system according to the contents in previous sections and connect the PC to

the driver as the following figure.

RS232 Interface Connection

Figure 19: RS232 interface connection

Testing the Stepping System

Turn on the power supply, the green (Power) LED will light. The DMD4022 has default

parameters stored in the driver. If the system has no hardware and wirings problem, the motor

should be locked and the driver should be ready.

If the red LED immediately turns on (flickers), then check power supply, the motor, motor wirings

and try again. Open the tuning software ProTuner and check driver status by clicking Err_check.

If it’s Phase Error, check the motor, motor wirings and try again. If it still doesn’t work after you

followed all of the previous steps, please contact us at contact@soprolec.com.

If the RED LED is OFF and the motor is normal, then you can start to tune the servo with

ProTuner. However, we recommend you see the following contents before starting tuning.

Software Introduction

¾Option

The user can choose three drop-down menus by clicking “Option”, including Com Config,

SaveToDriver and Exit.

zCom Config: Configure Com communication interface.

zSaveToDriver: Download the current parameter settings to the driver.

zExit: Exit the ProTuner.

DM422C

Com Config Window

Figure 21: RS232 communication configuration window

Serial Port: Select the serial communication port to which the driver is connected. The factory

default setting is COM1.

Baud Rate: Select the communication baud rate. The factory default setting is 38400.

Click Open button to establish a connection with the specified settings. When connecting, you can

choose SaveToDrive to download the current parameter settings to the driver, or to upload the

stored driver settings into the ProTuner by clicking Tuning > Position Loop on the menu bar.

Tuning

The user can choose one or two drop-down menu(s) by clicking Tuning, including CurrentLoop

and SystemConfig.

zCurrentLoop: In Current Tuning window, the user can tune the Kp (Proportional Gain) and

Ki (Integral Gain) of driver’s current loop to optimize responses with different motors.

Start/Restart a Step Response test to get an optimum response.

Kp: Proportional Gain. Proportional Gain determines the response of the driver to current setting

command. Low Proportional Gain provides a stable system (doesn’t oscillate), has low stiffness, and

large current error, causing poor performances in tracking current setting command in each step like

Figure 23. Too large Proportional Gain values will cause oscillations and unstable systems.

Figure 22: Current Tuning window

Ki: Integral Gain. Integral Gain helps the driver to overcome static current errors. A low or zero

value for the Integral Gain may have current errors at rest. Increasing the Integral Gain can reduce

the error. If the Integral Gain is too large, the systems may “hunt” (oscillate) about the desired

position.

Start button: The user can start a Step Response test by clicking this button. Start/Restart a Step

Response test to get an optimum response like Figure 22, and remember to save the settings to the

driver when finish tuning. See Figure 24.

Figure 23: Kp=2346, Ki=0 (poor performances)

Figure 24: Finish tuning and save setting to the driver

Notes:

However, if the user does not want to tune the current loop after changing a different stepping motor,

then Motor self-test and parameter auto-setup technology of the DMD4022 can replace manual

tuning the driver with ProTuner. Just changes SW4 two times in 1 second, and then the driver will

auto-identify the new motor and auto-configure related control parameters for optimum responses.

Recommend use this function after changing the driven motor.

zSystemConfig:

In SystemConfig window, the user can configure Peak Current, Microstep, Command Type, Active

Edge, and eliminate motor resonance. A built-in pulse generator can be used for test during tuning.

See Picture 25.

PeakCur: Peak Current. The value is the peak current to the selected motor and can be set from

0.1 to 3.2 A. The user can set the peak current with ProTuner or DIP switches, see more

information about setting output current of the driver in section 5 “Connecting the Motor” and

section 7 “Selecting Microstep Resolution and Driver Output Current”.

MicroStep: Microstep Resolution. The value is driver’s microstep resolution setting and can be set

from 1 to 512. The user can set the microstep with ProTuner or DIP switches, See more information

about setting output current of the driver in section 7 “Selecting Microstep Resolution and Driver

Output Current”.

StepAngle: Step Angle. The driver will auto detect the Step Angle of the driven motor.

CommandType: Command Type of control signal, including PUL/DIR and CW/CCW. Set this

parameter according to Command Type of motion controller.

ActiveEdge: Active Edge. The user can set the triggered edge of pulse command signal in this panel.

When the driver works in CW/CCW mode, no matter what level is at fixed level terminal, the driver

can works properly.

Anti-Resonance Introduction

Step motors are highly resonant, which results in vibration and ringing. The ringing utilizes a large

fraction of the motor's available torque – thereby wasting performance. Furthermore, at mid-range

velocities, the resonance can become so severe that the motor looses synchronization and stalls. The

DMD4022 driver provides robust anti-resonance control to stop the vibrations and maintain

equilibrium. This feature requires that the driver be configured with respect to the total inertia in the

system. If set improperly, the effectiveness of the feature may be diminished.

The user can invoke or disable the feature by setting Amp and Phase values in SystemConfig

window. Amp and Phase values all zero is to disable the feature, otherwise is to invoke the feature.

It should be enabled unless the system configuration either does not need it or cannot tolerate it. A

system with loose couplings or viscous loading generally does not need this feature. If a system has

compliant (springy) coupling and is absent appreciably viscosity, it may not respond well to the

active, anti-resonant loop in the drive. The anti-resonant feature is not designed to damp such a 4th

order system. If the application of anti-resonance results in degradation or instability, it should be

disabled.

1st ResonanceArea: Parameters for 1st resonance area. Usually between 0.6rps and 1.2rps.

Amp1 is Amplitude adjustment for 1st resonance area.

Phase1 is Phase adjustment for 1st resonance area. The user can enter a value directly in the text box

or move the slider bar back and forth to get an optimum value.

LowerLimit is the Lower Limit of the 1st resonance area, and the user can capture this value when

finds it during move the slider bar of internal pulse generator.

UpperLimit is the Upper Limit of the 1st resonance area. Default Amp1 and Phase1 values are

zero.

2nd ResonanceArea: Parameters for 2nd resonance area. Usually between 1.2rps and 2.4rps.

Default Amp2 and Phase2 values are zero.

3rd ResonanceArea: Parameters for 3rd resonance area. Usually between 2.4rps and 4.8rps.

Default Amp3 and Phase3 values are 128.

Start/Stop button: The user can start/Stop a motion test by clicking this button.

Step 1: Start the motion test by clicking Start/Stop button. Find the Lower Limit values and Upper

Limit values for each resonance area by slightly moving the slider bar of internal pulse generator

back and forth, and capture these values for anti-resonance algorithm by clicking Capture buttons.

See Figure 26.

Step 2: Run the motor at the given test speed and verify the motor smoothness. You may find a

better smoothing value by slightly moving the slider bars of AMP(s) and Phase(s) back and forth.

It is very important to make the AMP(s) and Phase(s) adjustments at the proper test speeds with an

unloaded motor. Running at an incorrect test speed will not excite the motor at its peak resonance,

making it more difficult to find proper adjustment values. Optimum AMP(s) and Phase(s) values

may be a little different between running the tests with an unloaded motor and a load motor.

Please remember to click SavetoDrive to download the final parameter settings to the driver when

finish tuning. See Figure 27.
