二,Wiring Guide
 
1. Interface Definition
 
Terminal Name Function Description 
DC+ Positive pole of DC power supply (18–50V) 
DC- Negative pole of DC power supply (ground) 
A+/A- Motor phase A coil connections (polarity-sensitive, avoid miswiring) 
B+/B- Motor phase B coil connections (polarity-sensitive, avoid miswiring) 
PUL+ Positive terminal of pulse control signal (optically isolated) 
PUL- Negative terminal of pulse control signal (optically isolated) 
DIR+ Positive terminal of direction control signal (optically isolated) 
DIR- Negative terminal of direction control signal (optically isolated) 
ENA+ Positive terminal of enable signal (high level enabled; floating = enabled) 
ENA- Negative terminal of enable signal (low level disabled) 
ALM Alarm output (active when fault occurs: overvoltage/overcurrent/overheating) 
 
2. Wiring Methods
 
Power Wiring
 
- Use non-regulated DC power supply (recommended) or regulated switching power supply (set to max output current).
- Ensure correct polarity of DC+ and DC-; reverse connection will damage the driver.
- For multiple drivers, connect power in parallel at the power supply end (avoid daisy-chain connection).
 
(2)Motor Wiring
 
- Connect motor A-phase coil to A+/A-, B-phase coil to B+/B- (match motor wiring diagram).
- Do not connect motor wires to power terminals; avoid short-circuit between motor phases.
- Do not hot-plug motor connectors when powered on (high induced voltage may damage the driver).
 
(3)Control Signal Wiring
 
- Common Anode Connection: Connect PUL+/DIR+/ENA+ to controller's signal output; PUL-/DIR-/ENA- to controller's GND.
- Common Cathode Connection: Connect PUL-/DIR-/ENA- to controller's signal output; PUL+/DIR+/ENA+ to controller's VCC (4.5–28V).
- Use shielded cables for control signals (single-end grounding at controller side, 10cm+ distance from motor wires to avoid interference).
 
3. 接线注意事项(Wiring Notes)
 
- All wire ends must not be exposed outside terminals (prevent short-circuit).
- Do not solder wire ends before inserting into terminals (avoid overheating and poor contact).
- Tighten terminal screws firmly to prevent loose connections and abnormal heating.

Idle Current (100%) ON Idle current = dynamic current (for high holding torque requirements) 
Auto-Tuning Function Toggle Flip SW4 ON↔OFF within 1 second (no pulse input during operation; optimizes motor parameters)

5. Setting Notes
 
- Power off the driver before adjusting DIP switches (settings take effect after power-on).
- Match the set current to the motor's rated current (do not exceed motor maximum current).
- For low-noise and high-precision requirements, select 400 steps/rev or higher microstep resolution.
