OL86-R Bus Open-Loop Stepper Driver
Product Overview
The OL86-R stepper driver adopts the new generation 32-bit DSP technology, combined with RS485 bus control functionality, supports MODBUS-RTU communication protocol, and can connect up to 32 axes. It enables multi-axis bus synchronous control. The driver features 15 internal position segments and 15 internal speed segments, supports automatic homing, absolute/relative positioning, JOG, and other functions. It can be directly controlled using a touchscreen or a controller with an RS485 interface.
Features
Driver Function Description
Driver Functions | Operating Instructions |
Station Number Setting | The driver communication station number is set by five DIP switches SW1-SW5, supporting up to 31 slave stations. In actual use, the driver should be stopped first. Please set the slave address according to the table on the driver panel. |
RS485IN/OUT | RS485 communication interface, supports standard Modbus-RTU bus communication protocol. |
Baud Rate Setting | The driver communication baud rate is set by two DIP switches SW6~SW7, with a setting range of 9600~115200 in 4 levels. In actual use, the driver should be stopped first. Please set the communication baud rate according to the table on the driver panel. SW8 is the terminal resistor. |
Indicator Lights | The driver has two indicator lights: red and green. The green light is the power indicator, which stays on when the driver is powered. The red light is the fault indicator, which stays on when overvoltage or overcurrent faults occur. The red light turns off after the fault is cleared. When a fault occurs, only power cycling and re-enabling can clear the fault. |
DI/DO Signal Interface | DI0~DI6 are single-ended input ports, DICOM is the common terminal for inputs; DO0~DO2 are single-ended output ports, DOCOM is the common terminal for outputs. Corresponding command values can be configured as needed to use the functions associated with these command values. Please refer to the driver manual for specific settings. |
Motor Interface | A+ and A- connect to the positive and negative terminals of the stepper motor A-phase winding; B+ and B- connect to the positive and negative terminals of the stepper motor B-phase winding. Swapping the + and - terminals of phase A or B can reverse the motor rotation direction. |
Power Interface | Powered by DC power supply, recommended operating voltage range is 30V-110VDC or 20V~80VAC, with a recommended operating voltage of 48VDC and power greater than 300W. |
Installation Instructions | The driver dimensions are 150×97.5×52.6mm, with mounting hole spacing of 138.5mm. It can be installed horizontally or vertically (vertical installation is recommended). During installation, it should be mounted tightly against a metal cabinet to facilitate heat dissipation. |
