Comparison DM556/ DM556EU/ EM556S
The DM556EU is a digital stepper drive with simple design and easy setup. By implementing Leadshine’s 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 VDC 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 23, 24, and 34 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 for a wide range of 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 1.8 - 5.6 A via DIP switches
- Smooth motor start-up without “jump”
- 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 23, 24 and 34 (57 x 57 mm to 86 x 86 mm). It can be used in various kinds of machines, such as X-Y tables, engraving machines, labelling 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.
