10. Drive board and motor match:

The driver can drive two or four phase stepper motors, motor drive in order to obtain the most satisfactory results, need to select a reasonable set of supply voltage and current. The supply voltage level of the decision of the high-speed electrical performance, while the current settings determine the motor output torque.

(1) A supply voltage selected:

In general, the more high of the supply voltage, the more torque in high speed, and able to avoid missing step at high speed. On the other hand, the voltage is too high may damage the driver, also big shock in low speed

(2) output current settings:

For the same motor, the greater the current set value, the greater the motor output torque, but the high heat for motor and driver. Therefore, the general situation is that the current is set to supply long-term work machine when warm but not too hot when the values.

1)when 4 or 6 lead wires stepper motors in high-speed mode: the output current is set to equal or slightly less than the motor rated current value;

2) when 6 lead wires stepper motor in high torque mode: the output current is set to 70% of motor rated current

3) 8 -wire motor connected in series: the output current is set to 70% of motor rated current

4) 8 -wire motor parallel connection: the output current can be set to 1.4 times more than the motor rated current.

Note: The current setting 15-30 minutes after you run motors, such as the motor temperature is too high, it should reduce the current settings.if after reducing the current value, the motor output torque is not enough, please improve the cooling conditions to ensure that motors and drives are not hot.
