Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 3DM228 drive a 2-phase stepper motor?
A: No. The 3DM228 is designed exclusively for 3-phase stepper motors. Using it with a 2-phase motor will result in incorrect commutation and potential damage. For 2-phase motors, see our Leadshine DM series drives.
Q: What is the maximum pulse frequency the drive accepts?
A: The 3DM228 accepts pulse inputs up to 200 kHz, compatible with most DSP-based CNC controllers and PLCs with high-speed pulse output modules.
Q: Is the drive suitable for vertical axis (Z-axis) applications?
A: Yes. The 3DM228’s high holding torque and motor lock function make it suitable for vertical load applications. We recommend pairing with a motor sized for at least 1.5× the static load torque.
Q: Can I tune the drive without a PC?
A: Yes. Current output and microstep resolution are configurable via onboard DIP switches. For advanced tuning (auto-tuning, resonance suppression), Leadshine’s ProTuner software via RS-232 is recommended.
Q: What is the warranty period?
A: Leadshine provides an 18-month manufacturer warranty from date of purchase. Konmask.com provides full warranty support including RMA coordination.
Q: Do you provide a datasheet or wiring diagram?
A: Yes. Contact support@konmask.com to receive the official Leadshine 3DM228 datasheet, wiring diagram, and application notes.
