Configuration

DIP SWITCH MODE Configuration:
The smart H-Bridge support many type of communication method such as PWM/DIR, PPM, UARTs,…They combine the input Pin to saving the connection. The Driver will use DIP SWITCH to config witch type of communication you use. Please configuration Dip Switch Mode before turn on the power.

Dip switch mode configuration

When power on or changing mode. The Run LED in the PCB will blinking a X sequence number to confirm witch mode are configured. X = 1 (PWM 50/50), X=2 (PWM/DIR),…, X=6 (ANA/JOY)

Acceleration/Deceleration Configuration:

• This feature will support to reduce a sudden changing of velocity. They will protect the mechanical and electrical in many cases.
• The ACCE/DECCE depend on a Variable Resistors ACCE value in PCB. Please see below picture to know the ACCE Enable/Disable Zone (Disable Zone: No apply ACCE/DECCE).

iLIMIT Soft Home Sensor Configuration
The driver support Electric Current Home Sensor inside to limit the moving left and right. It is called iLIMIT SWITCH. The user don’t need add more extended limit switch. The driver will monitor the current when the Motor is running, if the current of the Motor same as with the iLimit (iLimit is a current limit setting by Variable Resistors in PCB) that mean the mechanical is touched. The driver will set a Touched Flag and stop moving that direction. To moving, the driver need control by reverse direction or the Touched Flag need to be clear by UART Command or short time pull down ENA PIN to reset the driver.

LEFT & RIGHT User Button
Reset the Driver: short press LEFT and RIGHT BUTTON same time to reset the driver. MOTOR forced Turn Right: Short press RIGHT BUTTON
MOTOR forced Turn Left: Short press the LEFT BUTTON

Protection & Indication Feature

Protection

Under/Over Voltage (vBus): The motor driver output will be shut down when the power input voltage drops below the lower limit. This is to make sure the MOSFETs have sufficient voltage to fully turn on and do not overheat. ERR LED will blink during under voltage shutdown.

Temperature Protection: The maximum current limiting threshold is determined by the board temperature. The higher the board temperature, the lower the current limiting threshold. This way, the driver is able to deliver its full potential depending on the actual condition without damaging the MOSFETs.

Overcurrent Protection with Active Current Limiting: When the motor is trying to draw more current than what the motor driver can supply, the PWM to the motor will be chopped off and the motor current will be maintained at maximum current limit. This prevents the motor driver from damage when the motor stalls or an oversized motor is hooked up. OC LED will turn on when current limiting is in action.

Indication

ENABLE/STATUS Pin Feature

The ENA Pin is special PIN with Input and out-put ability.
This Pin will pull up to 5V by the driver after Reset state. And pull down if there are any error. The user can read state of this Pin to know the status of driver.
The user can also Reset the driver by config the MCU Pin is a output Pin and set this Pin to GND about 0.5 second and reconfig MCU Pin as input pin to read the status of the driver.
Please reconfig the MCU pin to input after forced Reset the driver
If you don’t need to know the status of the driver or reset the driver by MCU, please let it is free.

Recommendation

Wire Gauge
The smaller wire diameter (lower gauge), the higher impedance. Higher impedance wire will broadcast more noise than lower impedance wire. Therefore, when selecting the wire gauge, it is preferable to select lower gauge (i.e. larger diameter) wire. This recommendation becomes more critical as the cable length increases. Use the following table to select the appropriate wire size to use in your application.

Current (A)          Minimum wire size (AWG)

10| #20
15| #18
20| #16

System Grounding
Good grounding practices help reduce the majority of noise present in a system. All common grounds within an isolated system should be tied to PE (protective earth) through a ‘SINGLE’ low resistance point. Avoiding repetitive links to PE creating ground loops, which are a frequent source of noise. Central point grounding should also be applied to cable shielding; shields should be open on one end and grounded on the other. Close attention should also be given to chassis wires. For example, motors are typically supplied with a chassis wire. If this chassis wire is connected to PE, but the motor chassis itself is attached to the machine frame, which is also connected to PE, a ground loop will be created. Wires used for grounding should be of a heavy gauge and as short as possible. Unused wiring should also be grounded when safe to do so since wires left floating can act as large antennas, which contribute to EMI.

Power Supply Connection
NEVER connect power and ground in the wrong direction, because it will damage the driver. The distance between the DC power supply of the drive and the drive itself should be as short as possible since the cable between the two is a source of noise. When the power supply lines are longer than 50 cm, a 1000µF/100V electrolytic capacitor should be connected between the terminal “GND” and the terminal “+VDC”. This capacitor stabilizes the voltage supplied to the drive as well as filters noise on the power supply line. Please note that the polarity can’t be reversed.
It is recommended to have multiple drivers to share one power supply to reduce cost if the supply has enough capacity. To avoid cross interference, DO NOT daisy-chain the power supply input pins of the drivers. Instead, please connect them to power supply separately.
