The DM542EU is a digital stepper drive with simple design and easy setup. By implementing Leadshine advanced stepper control technology, this stepper drive is able to power 2-phase and 4 phase stepper motors smoothly with optimal torque and low motor heating & noise. Its operating voltage is 20 – 50 V DC and it can output up to 4.2 A current
All the micro step and output current are done via DIP switches. Therefore, the DM542EU is an ideal choice for applications requiring simple step & direction control of NEMA 17, 23, and 24 stepper motors
- Anti-Resonance for optimal torque, extra smooth motion, low motor heating and noise
- Motor auto-identification and parameter auto-configuration for optimal torque from wide-range motors
- Step & direction (PUL/DIR) control
- Multi-Stepping for smooth motor movement
- Optically isolated inputs
- Input voltage 20 – 50 V DC
- 16 selectable micro-step resolutions of 400 - 25.600 via DIP switches
- 8 selectable output current settings of 1.0 - 4.2A via DIP switches
- Soft-start with no “jump” when powered on
- Pulse input frequency up to 200 KHz
- Automatic idle-current reduction
- Protections for over-voltage and over-current

Suitable for a wide range of stepper motors of NEMA sizes 17, 23 and 24 (42 x 42 mm to 60 x 60 mm). It can be used in various kinds of machines, such as X-Y tables, engraving machines, labeling machines, laser cutters, pick-place devices, and so on. Particularly well suited for applications where low noise levels, less heat development, high speed and high precision are desired.
A typical system consists of stepper motor, stepper motor driver, power supply and controller. The following image shows a typical connection schematic.
