OL86-C Bus Open-Loop Stepper Driver
Product Overview
The OL86-C stepper driver adopts the new generation 32-bit DSP technology, combined with CANopen bus control functions, supporting the CIA301 protocol and CIA402.V2 sub-protocol. It can support up to 32 axes, enabling multi-axis high-speed bus synchronous control. The driver supports position mode, speed mode, and homing mode. The standardized protocol makes the entire control system more stable and reliable, while the simple field wiring effectively avoids pulse loss issues commonly seen in traditional drivers in interference environments.
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. |
CANopen IN/OUT | CANopen communication interface, supporting CIA301 protocol and CIA402.V2 sub-protocol. |
Baud Rate Setting | The driver communication baud rate is set by two DIP switches SW6~SW7, with a range of 125K~1M 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 inputs, DICOM is the common input terminal; DO0~DO2 are single-ended outputs, DOCOM is the common output terminal. Corresponding command values can be configured as needed to use the functions associated with these commands. 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. |
