MAKERELE DM542 and DM556 CNC Stepper Motor Drivers
DM542 and DM556 CNC Stepper Motor Drivers
MAKERELE DM542 and DM556 are two-phase digital stepper motor drivers for motion-control equipment. Both use a 20–50 V DC supply reference and provide configurable current and microstep settings. Select the model by the motor's electrical requirements, not by frame size alone.
Key Features
- Two driver choices: DM542 for lower-current systems and DM556 for higher-current requirements.
- DC supply range: 20–50 V DC source reference.
- Adjustable output current: model-specific current ranges support correct motor matching.
- Microstep configuration: source data lists up to 128 subdivision settings.
- Package options: each model is available as a 1-pack or 4-pack.
Model Comparison
| Model | Output current | Supply | Phase / subdivision | Motor frame reference | Pack SKUs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DM542 | 1.0–4.2 A | 20–50 V DC | 2-phase / up to 128 | NEMA 17 / 23 | MK-QDQ-DM542; MK-QDQ-DM542-4PC |
| DM556 | 1.4–5.6 A | 20–50 V DC | 2-phase / up to 128 | NEMA 17 / 23 / 34 | MK-QDQ-DM556; MK-QDQ-DM556-4PC |
Configuration and Installation
Set the driver current and microstep switches for the actual motor and machine requirements. A NEMA designation describes only the mounting frame and does not confirm electrical compatibility. Isolate power before wiring, use a suitable DC supply, maintain ventilation and follow the terminal markings. These are open-loop stepper drivers; they are not described here as closed-loop drivers.
FAQ
Should I select DM542 or DM556 by motor size?
Use the motor's phase current, supply and application requirements first; the listed NEMA sizes are only a reference.
Does the 4-pack change the driver specification?
No. It changes the package quantity for the selected model.
