DM3C Series Stepper Drive

The DM3C series is an economical, high-speed bus stepper drive developed by Leadshine. Building on the stable and reliable foundation of the DM3E series, the DM3C offers enhanced usability and lower cost. This series supports the COE (CANopen over EtherCAT) protocol and conforms to the CiA402 standard. With a bus transmission speed of up to 100 Mb/s, it supports CSP, PP, PV, and HM control modes, enabling real-time control and data transmission for stepper systems. The adoption of the highly efficient, stable, and mature EtherCAT industrial bus solution optimizes space, cost, and system complexity, providing significant benefits to customers in multi-axis control networks.

Core Advantages

  • Supports the standard EtherCAT protocol, compatible with the majority of EtherCAT communication masters on the market.

  • Supports CSP, PP, PV, and HM control modes.

  • Provides configurable alarm/positioning output interfaces.

  • Optocoupler-isolated signal inputs for strong anti-interference capabilities.

  • Different vibration suppression strategies for low-speed and mid-speed motor operation, ensuring stable operation across the motor’s entire speed range.

  • Built-in microstepping subdivision algorithm, enabling high-quality motion at low step resolutions.

  • Low heat generation, no step loss, smooth operation, and strong acceleration capabilities.

  • High reliability with protection features such as over-voltage and over-current.

  • Parameters can be modified and configured via the USB debugging port connected to a host computer.
