Introduction:
MD556 is a high performance microstepping driver using pure-sinusoidal wave current control technology, it is particularly suitable for applications desired with extremely low noise and low heating. Currently most of the microstepping drivers in the market apply pseudo-sinusoidal current control technology, which makes the output current to be a distorted sine wave, or makes much current ripple, both cause the motor higher noise and bigger vibration, furthermore cause serious motor heating, so when the motor works long time, the torque decrease, motor aging and the use life shorted. However the pure-sinusoidal precise current control technology (domestic patented technology) applied by MD556 can improve above problems very well, and the operating effect of the stepping motor is somehow inclined to that of servo motor.

Applications:
Suitable for a wide range of stepping motors of NEMA 17, 23 and 34, and usable for various kinds of machines, such as X-Y tables, labeling machines, laser cutters, engraving machines, and pick-place devices. Particularly useful in applications with extremely low noise and low vibration, high speed and high precision are desired.

Pin Assignment and Description
Control Signal Connector P1 pins
Pin Function Details
PUL﹢(+5V) Pulse signal: in single pulse (pulse/direction) mode, this input represents pulse signal, effective for each rising edge; 4-5V when PUL-HIGH, 0-0.5V when PUL-LOW. In double pulse mode (pulse/pulse) this input represents clockwise (CW) pulse. For reliable response, pulse width should be longer than 1.2us. Series connect resistance for current-limiting when +12V or +24V used.
PUL- (PUL)
DIR+ (+5V) DIR signal: HIGH/LOW level signal, corresponding to motor rotor direction. For reliable response, DIR must be ahead of PUL by 5ms at least, the initial motor direction is related with motor wiring, exchange any set of coil can reverse motor initial direction. 4-5V when DIR- HIGH, 0-0.5V when LOW.
DIR- (DIR)
ENA+ (+5V) Enable signal: this signal is used for enabling/disabling the driver. High level for enabling the driver and low level for disabling the driver. Usually left unconnected (enabled).
ENA- (ENA)
Power connector P2 pins
Pin Funtion Details
Gnd DC power ground
+V DC power supply, +20VDC - +50VDC, Including voltage fluctuation and EMF voltage.
Phase A Motor coil A (leads A+ and A-)
