Shenzhen Intelligent Mechanical Electrical Technology Co., Ltd.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Rite five-phase stepper motor driver. I hope that our products can help you successfully complete your motion control project.
Based on SVPWM technology, the 5R60 five-phase stepper motor driver adopts PID current control algorithm to realize the current subdivision drive of the five-phase stepping motor. It has high precision and small vibration and is especially suitable for high-end precision manufacturing. The 5R60 driver can select an 8-speed running current and a 16-speed subdivision through the DIP switch. It has overvoltage, Undervoltage, phase current, and total current overcurrent protection. Its input and output control signals are optically isolated.

ports and wiring

Power connection

If your power output does not have a fuse or some other device that limits the short-circuit current, place a properly sized fast-blow fuse (no more than 10Amps) between the power supply and the drive to protect the drive and power supply. Between the positive side of the power supply and the V+ of the drive.
Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the V+ of the drive and the negative terminal of the power supply to the V- of the drive.
!!! Please be careful not to reverse the connection, the drive damage caused by the power supply is not guaranteed.
Choose the right power source.

Voltage
The chopper driver continuously changes the magnitude and direction of the voltage at the winding end of the motor while detecting current to obtain accurate phase current.
If both high efficiency and low noise are to be guaranteed, the driver supply voltage is at least 5 times the rated phase voltage of the motor (ie the rated phase current of the
motor × phase resistance).
If you need a motor for better high-speed performance, you need to increase the drive supply voltage.
If using a regulated power supply, the supply voltage must not exceed 48V.

Current
The maximum supply current should be the sum of the two-phase currents. Normally, the current you need depends on the motor model, voltage, speed, and load conditions. The actual supply current value is much lower than this maximum current value because the driver uses a switching amplifier that converts the high voltage and low current into low voltage and high current. The more the supply voltage exceeds the motor voltage, the less supply current is required. When the motor is connected to a 48V power supply, the power supply output current is half of the 24V power supply output current.

Motor connection

The 5R60 can only drive five-phase stepper motors with a new pentagon connection.
Please connect the motor windings to the 5PIN terminals A, B, C, D, and E of the drive in the order of blue, red, orange, green, and black.

Control signal connection
Pulse & Direction Signal

The 5R60 driver has two high-speed inputs, PUL and DIR, which are optically isolated and accept 5VDC single-ended or differential signals. The signal input port has a high-speed digital filter with a maximum filtering frequency of 1MHz.
The pulse signal is valid for the falling edge.
The direction of motor operation depends on the DIR level signal. When DIR is floating or low, the motor runs clockwise. When the DIR signal is high, the motor runs
counterclockwise.
When the pulse input is an open collector, the wiring is as follows:

collector

3.3.2 Enable Signal
The EN input enables or disables the power section of the driver. The signal input is optically isolated and accepts 5VDC single-ended or differential signals. An external current-limiting resistor is required for greater than 5V.
When the EN signal is floating or low (optocoupler is not conducting), the driver is enabled and the motor is running normally; when the EN signal is high (optocoupler is on) the driver power is partially turned off and the motor is not energized.
The EN input can be used to restart the drive when the motor is in an error state. First, the existing fault is eliminated from the application system, and then a falling edge signal
is an input to the EN terminal. The driver can restart the power section and the motor is excited.

error output interface connection

The OUT port is an optoisolated OC output with a maximum withstand voltage of 30VDC and a maximum saturation current of 100mA.
When the driver is working normally, the output optocoupler does not turn on.

Timing diagram

The following figure shows that the optocoupler is turned ON and the optocoupler is turned off.

  • 1 driver is powered on and motor parameters are identified. Please send pulse instructions after 1S.
    1. Maintaining the time of direction signal when the motor is switched again
    1. When the power output of the motor is closed through the ENA port and enabled again, the jitter of the motor can be reduced due to the ramp mode of the internal current of the driver. So when enabled again, it needs to wait for 100ms to send the pulse. Slope setup time can be set by USB using debugging software
      Lock shaft time = 2 power-on lock shaft time setting value 50uS

Driver Running Parameter Setting

Current Setting

The 5R60 driver sets the peak value of output current through SW1, SW2, and SW3 dial switches. The current value can be customized according to the customer’s requirements. Usually, the current is set to the rated current of the motor. If your system has high heating requirements, you can reduce the current to reduce the heat of the generator, but the output torque of the motor will be reduced at the same time. If you do not require continuous operation of the motor, you can increase the operating current appropriately to obtain greater torque, but be careful not to exceed 1.5 times the rated current of the motor.

Phase current peak A SW1 SW2 SW3
0.5 ON ON ON
0.7 OFF ON ON
1 ON OFF ON
1.5 OFF OFF ON
2 ON ON OFF
2.5 OFF ON OFF
3 ON OFF OFF
3.5 OFF OFF OFF
Automatic Half Flow Settings

SW4 sets the driver’s automatic current reduction percentage. When the switch is set to OFF, the idle current will be reduced to 50% of the running current; when the switch is set to ON, the idle current will be reduced to 100% of the running current.
After the driver stops receiving the pulse for 2 seconds, it enters the idle state.
The time to enter the idle state and the percentage of standby current can be set through the USB port.

Installation Instructions

Users can install with the wide or narrow sides of the drive’s cooling base. If installing with a wide side, use M3 screws to install through the holes in the four corners. If installing with narrow sides, use M3 screws to install through the holes on both sides. For good heat dissipation, a narrow side mounting is recommended.
The power device of the driver will generate heat. If continuous operation is under high input voltage and high power conditions, the effective heat dissipation area or forced cooling should be expanded.
Do not use it in places where the air is not circulating or where the ambient temperature exceeds 40 ° C; do not install the drive in a location that is wet or has metal chips.
