How to Connect Motor Drivers There are several kind of stepper drivers in the market. Different type of drivers have different wirings. If the wirings are incorrect,the motors can not work properly. The most important is that the "pulse" wiring must be correct. For the "direction", you can change in the laser software if the direction is incorrect.below are different kind of wirings: 8.1 Pulse Signal Rising Edge (for 3 Pin Driver) X/Y/Z/U +5V R 6 5V SE 5 PUL+ 4 PUL- PLS 3 DIR- 2 DIR+ LA 1 GND DIR R DE 8.2 Pulse Signal Rising Edge (for 4 Pin Driver) UN X/Y/Z/U PLS+ TH 6 5V 5 PUL+ PLS- 4 PUL- DIR+ 3 DIR- 2 DIR+ 1 GND DIR- 11 / 41 www.thunderlaser.com THUNDER LASER DSP CONTROLLER DF 212 MANUAL Version 2.2 8.3 Pulse Signal Falling Edge (for 3 Pin Driver) X/Y/Z/U +5V 6 5V 5 PUL+ 4 PUL- PLS 3 DIR- 2 DIR+ 1 GND DIR R SE 8.4 Pulse Signal Falling Edge (for 4 Pin Driver) X/Y/Z/U 6 5V+ LA PLS+ 5 PUL+ PLS- R 4 PUL- DIR+ DE 3 DIR- 2 DIR+ UN 1 GND DIR- If the direction of the motor is reversed, user only need to change the wiring of "DIR" or TH change the setting in the software 12 / 41 www.thunderlaser.com THUNDER LASER DSP CONTROLLER DF 212 MANUAL Version 2.2 9. How to Connect the Limit Switches for X/Y Axis 9.1 Mechanical Switch R SE LA R DE UN TH 9.2 Proximity Sensor Our controller support "NPN-NO" type proximity sensor. Please pay attention to the type of the sensor when purchasing. There're there wires from the proximity sensor: Black(signal), brown(power input), blue(GND). Since the controller can only support up to DC 5V. And most proximity sensor need DC 10V-30V. The proximity sensor need to connect to the extra switching power supply. 13 / 41 www.thunderlaser.com THUNDER LASER DSP CONTROLLER DF 212 MANUAL Version 2.2 R SE LA R DE UN TH 14 / 41 www.thunderlaser.com THUNDER LASER DSP CONTROLLER DF 212 MANUAL Version 2.2 10. How to Connect the Limit Switches for Z Axis Z axis is used to control the motorized table and for the auto focus function. Since the U axis is used for auto feeding systems, the limit switches are useless. 10.1 Mechanical Switch If you don't need to use the auto focus function, you only need to connect the Pin "NO" on limit switch to Pin4(LmtZ-) on the controller and also connect "COM" to "GND" R If you need to use the auto focus function, you will need to connect the Pin "NO" on the SE Auto focus switch to Pin5(LmtZ+) on the controller and also connect "COM" to "GND" See the below picture to learn the detail: LA R DE UN TH 15 / 41 www.thunderlaser.com THUNDER LASER DSP CONTROLLER DF 212 MANUAL Version 2.2 10.2 Proximity Sensor The wiring of the proximity sensor is nearly the same as the X/Y axis.There're three wires from the proximity sensor: Black(signal), brown(power input), blue(GND). Since the controller can only output DC 5V. And most proximity sensor need DC 10V-30V. The proximity sensor need to connect to the extra switching power supply.

No Water Proection、Pedal Switch、Open Flap Protection、Blow Air Control 11.1 No Water Protection The no water protection is used to turn off the laser when the water chiller is not working properly. This will keep the laser safe. R SE LA R Most power supply has already has the no water protection function. However, since our DE controller has a display, when there's no water, the display will show the message. This is more convenient for the user to judge the problem. When using the no water protection fucntion,user need to use a short wire to connect Pin UN WP and Pin GND on the power supply. See below to learn the detail: TH 17 / 41 www.thunderlaser.com THUNDER LASER DSP CONTROLLER DF 212 MANUAL Version 2.2 R SE LA Since our controller only support no water protection for one laser tube, if your system has two laser tubes, it's better to use the no water protection function on the laser power supply. Below is the No water protection wirings for the power supply.
