CL257C-ABZ Two-Phase Closed-Loop Stepper Driver
Product Overview
The CL2 series stepper drives are developed using the latest-generation 32-bit DSP chip, combined with our company’s many years of expertise in motion control. They support 1000-line ABZ incremental encoders and are available in three control modes: pulse‑train, RS485 bus, and CANopen bus. This particular model is a CANopen‑based drive.

Troubleshooting
Fault code | Fault Information | ALM indicator light | Mitigation measures | Reset |
Err1 | Overcurrent or interphase short circuit | Flashes once | Check whether the load is excessive, whether there are any impacts, and whether the motor wiring is shorted. | Power-down reset |
Err2 | Power supply voltage is too high. | Flashes twice | Check the power supply operating range. | Automatic recovery |
Err3 | Power supply voltage too low | Flashes 3 times | Check the power supply operating range. | Automatic recovery |
Err5 | Motor out of tolerance | Flashes 5 times | Check whether the load is excessive and whether the encoder cable is loose. | Power loss, manual reset |
Err6 | 485 Modbus error frame exists | Flashes 6 times | Verify that the 485/USB serial communication parameters are configured correctly. | Power-down reset |
Main application areas
It is widely used in various precision automation applications, including 3C automation equipment, laser processing systems, engraving machines, dispensing machines, labeling machines, packaging machinery, small CNC devices, textile automation, medical devices, semiconductor testing equipment, vision inspection platforms, and logistics sorting systems.
