2. TB6560AHQ advantage

2.1 At low speed operation System Advantages

Low-speed operating system, is the clock frequency is not high, with small current
drive-based systems, such as the speed of a few per minute to 100 turn, the user under
the conditions in such applications, such as the use of traditional driving scheme, or a
result of integrated chips segmentation is too low, leaving low-speed vibration is too
large; or had to choose a high drive segments, so that the cost of an unnecessary
increase.

TB6560AHQ driver chip's advantages:

(1). Motor vibration, low noise: Because the chip comes with an optional sub-2,4,16,
enough to meet nearly every minute to switch from a few of the applications.
(2). embedded drive less heat: chip built-in cooling large enough alone to support small
current-driven thermal requirements.

(3).support a variety of stepper motor selection: customers can choose a hybrid or a

slightly larger torque permanent magnet stepper motor, the motor work in the allowed
maximum torque of between 30-50%, the electrical costs of almost unchanged; chip
provides multi-range current set-up and current-decay mode, supporting the same power
index a variety of different parameters under the stepper motor.

2.2 In high-speed operation System Advantages

High-speed operating system refers to a higher clock frequency, and a large current
drive-based systems, such as the speed of close to 1000 per minute to switch, under the
conditions of such application-driven programs such as the use of traditional or
integrated chip segment is too low due to , leaving the system speed range is too small;
or because of the excessive breakdown of the high increase in cost, may also occur due
to decline in high-frequency torque caused by vibration and noise.

TB6560AHQ driver chip's advantages:

(1). motor vibration, low noise: As the chip comes with 16 sub-TB6560AHQ chip
functionality, to meet nearly every minute to switch from a few to the application
requirements, and automatically generates a pure sine wave control current, and other
high-integrated chip compared to the same high-speed torque is not only not fall under
the contrary, increase; TB6560AHQ chip can withstand the peak due to the driving
voltage of 40V, 3.5A peak current for the motor torque in the large, high-speed
continuous operation under the offer of the technical support.

(2). supports a variety of stepper motor selection: customers can choose a hybrid
moment slightly larger or permanent magnet stepper motor, so that the motor operates at
maximum torque of between 30-50%, the electrical costs of almost unchanged; chip
provides high-current set-up and multi-range current-decay mode, supporting the same
power index a variety of different parameters under the stepper motor.

(3). an embedded easy to drive, small size cooling: large current drive, the chip surface
to facilitate cooling radiator outside the company can also be directly connected to the
user's original controller, metal shell, the embedded drives small size, easy to heat.
In short, due to a high degree of TB6560AHQ chip, the external circuit is extremely
simple, highly reliable, support NEMA23 and some NEMA34 stepper motor tens to
nearly turn the wide speed range applications, will enable CNC equipment R & D costs
and production costs both declined.

http://cnc.prom.ua/ 7
 Q: The stepper motor driver board the specific role of current-decay What is this?

A: The stepper motor is basically a breakdown of the way current subdivision law, according to
the phase current sine wave to be tangent to the current point as subdivision points. In the
phase current to reach sub-point control is necessary to control the current decay, otherwise it
would be if there will be no way to accurately point overshoot stay in the breakdown of
perspective. The motor at different speeds in different choices of decay mode. Fast decay at high
speed, low speed when the slow decay. Slow decay at high speed there will be vibrations, high
noise problem. Low selection of quick decay can lead to motor weakness and in severe cases
closed position. Motor Control IC, the current decay is the target of H-bridge switch the control
mode. Slow decay, when the high side pipes closed, fast decay time high or low side tubes are
closed. Mixed decay is a first, a rapid decay and then a slow decay, mixing ratio of decay time is
also a result of chip and power are not the same as

10. Drive board and motor match:
The driver can drive two or four phase stepper motors,motor drive in order to
obtain the most satisfactory results, need to select a reasonable set of supply voltage and
current. The supply voltage level of the decision of the high-speed electrical
performance, while the current settings determine the motor output torque.

(1) A supply voltage selected:

In general, the more high of the supply voltage, the more torque in high speed, and
able to avoid missing step at high speed. On the other hand, the voltage is too high may
damage the driver,also big shock in low speed

(2) output current settings:

For the same motor, the greater the current set value, the greater the motor output
torque, but the high heat for motor and driver. Therefore, the general situation is that the
current is set to supply long-term work machine when warm but not too hot when the
values.

1)when 4 or 6 lead wires stepper motors in high-speed mode: the output current is
set to equal or slightly less than the motor rated current value;

2) when 6 lead wires stepper motor in high torque mode: the output current is set
to 70% of motor rated current

3) 8 -wire motor connected in series: the output current is set to 70% of motor
rated current

4) 8 -wire motor parallel connection: the output current can be set to 1.4 times
more than the motor rated current.

http://cnc.prom.ua/ 12
Note: The current setting 15-30 minutes after you run motors, such as the motor
temperature is too high, it should reduce the current settings.if after reducing the current
value, the motor output torque is not enough, please improve the cooling conditions to
ensure that motors and drives are not hot.
