There are several kind of stepper drivers in the market. Different type of drivers have
different wirings. If the wirings are incorrect,the motors can not work properly. The most
important is that the "pulse" wiring must be correct. For the "direction", you can change in
the laser software if the direction
i
s incorrect.below are different kind of wirings:

Our controller support "NPN-NO" type proximity sensor. Please pay attention to the type
of the sensor when purchasing. There're there wires from the proximity sensor:
Black(signal), brown(power input), blue(GND). Since the controller can only support up to
DC
5V.
And most proximity sensor need DC 10V-30V. The proximity sensor need to
connect to the extra switching power supply.

If you don't need to use the auto focus function, you only need to connect the Pin "NO" on
limit switch to Pin4(LmtZ-) on the controller and also connect "COM" to "GND"
If you need to use the auto focus function, you will need to connect the Pin "NO" on the
Auto focus switch to Pin5(LmtZ+) on the controller and also connect "COM" to "GND"

The wiring of the proximity sensor is nearly the same as the X/Y axis.There're th re e wires
from the proximity sensor: Black(signal), brown(power input), blue(GND). Since the
controller can only output DC
5V.
And most proximity sensor need DC 10V-30V. The
proximity sensor need to connect to the extra switching power supply.

The no water protection is used to turn off the laser when the water chiller is not working
properly. This will keep the laser safe.
Most power supply has already has the no water protection function. However, since our
controller has a display, when there's no water, the display will show the message. This is
more convenient for the user to judge the problem.
When using the no water protection fucntion,user need to use a short wire to connect Pin
WP and Pin GND on the power supply . See below to learn the detail:
THUNDER LASER DSP CONTROLLER DF 211 MANUAL Version 2.0

Since our controller only support no water protection for one laser tube, if your system has
two laser tubes, it's better to use the no water protection function on the laser power
supply. Below is the No water protection wirings for the power supply.
