1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Leadshine MX3660, a high performance 3-axis stepper drive with built-in breakout

board and I/O’s based on the latest DSP technology. The MX3660 is specially designed for EASY and RAPID control of

up to three 2-phase (1.8°) stepper motors in frame sizes NEMA 17, 23, 24, and 34. It operates under 20-60 VDC

supply voltage and can output up to 6.0A current (peak of sinusoidal) per axis. The MX3660 takes step & direction

control and is easy to implement for OEM applications.

Warning

The MX3660 can also be used to power 4-phase (0.9°) stepper motors. But in this case,

there will be 400 full steps needed for each revolution. You need to make sure that the

settings in your controller (motion controller, PLC, CNC control system…) are properly

configured to reflect this requirement.

6. Get Started

Before you start hardware connection, refer to the following MX3660 layout diagram (figure 3) for connector/DIP

switch location. Read the MX3660 datasheet for each connector explanation. Then, get the following prepared:

A 24-54 VDC power supply.

Up to 3 stepper motors depending on how many axes that MX3660 will power in your application.

A source of step signals, such as a motion controller, PLC, or a PC-based control system (Mach3/4 , EMC, etc.).

A small flat blade screw driver for tightening the screw connectors of the MX3660.

Whatever optional external devices needed to be controlled through the built-in outputs and inputs.

7. Connecting a Power Supply

The power supply connector is located at the upper left side of MX3660 (“CN2” in Figure 3). The power supply of the

MX3660 can be connected as illustrated in Figure 4. Although MX3660’s working voltage is 20-60 VDC, we suggest

the use of a 20-54 VDC power supply to leave room for back EMF voltage charge back during motor deceleration.

Figure 4 Power supply connections

Warning

(1) Never power on the power supply before finishing all the connections and

configurations.

(2) Make sure the two power supply leads,

﹢

﹣

, are correctly connected to the MX3660

power connector. Wrong connection will destroy the MX3660 and void its warranty.

(3) Connecting a power supply with output voltage of 60VDC or up could damage the

MX3660, and void its warranty.

8. Connecting Stepper Motors

There are 3 stepper drive modules for the MX3660 to allow connections of up to three 2-phase stepper motors.

Because of the wide output current range from 1.41 to 6.0A for each stepper drive module, the MX3660 can drive

various stepper motors in frame sizes NEMA 17, 23, 24, and 34. You can find the 3 stepper drive modules locate at

CN3, CN4, and CN5 on Figure 3. These stepper motors can be 4-lead, 6-lead, or 8-lead stepper motors.

To get the maximum torque from a stepper motor, the output current required from a stepper drive equals to the

motor phase current multiplied by 1.4. Higher output current from a stepper drive module will result the stepper

motor torque; but that also increase the motor heating. Therefore, it is recommended to set “just-enough”output

put current to get the needed torque, and as less motor heating as possible.

8.1. Connecting a 4-Lead Stepper Motor

A 4 lead motor is the easiest to connect, and its speed-torque performance depends on its motor inductance.

Refer to the wiring diagram of your stepper motor, and connect its wires to the motor connector to one of the

MX3660 stepper drive module. Refer to Figure 5 on next page.

8.2. Connecting a 6-Lead Stepper Motor

The MX3660 can drive 6-lead stepper motors in either half coil connection or full coil connection. Before the

connection, please read the datasheet of your stepper motor.

8.2.1. Connecting a 6-Lead Stepper Motor in series connection

This configuration is also referred to as half chopper. When connecting a 6-lead stepper motor, the half coil

configuration uses 50% of the motor phase windings. This results in lower inductance, and hence lower torque

output at low-speed movements. Like the parallel connection of an 8 lead motor, this connection is commonly

used in applications requiring better high-speed torque performance. Refer to Figure 6 for the connection.

8.2.2. Connecting a 6-Lead Stepper Motor in series connection

This configuration is also referred to as full copper. The full coil connection for a six lead motor is commonly

used in applications requiring for higher torque performance at lower-speed movements. Refer to Figure 7 for

the connection.

8.3. Connecting a 8-Lead Stepper Motor

The MX3660 can drive an 8-lead stepper motor in either series connection or parallel connection. Before the

connection, please read the datasheet of your stepper motor.

8.3.1. Connecting a 8-Lead Stepper Motor in series connection

Refer to the wiring diagram of your stepper motor datasheet. Figure 8 illustrates how to connect an 8-lead

stepper motor to the MX3660 in series connection.

An 8-lead stepper motor in series connection requires less current, so the motor coils can be charged quicker

and achieves peak output torque faster than the same motor connected in parallel connection. This makes

series connection preferable for applications that require higher torque at lower speed. But on the other side,

because of its higher inductance, 8-lead stepper motor in series connection generates more motor heating and

its higher speed torque performance is not good as a parallel connected stepper motor. It is recommended for

not setting drive current no more than 70% of its rated current to prevent too much heating for a series

connected 8-lead stepper motor, but what current to set is application dependent and at a user’s choice.

Figure 8 Connecting an 8-lead stepper motor in series connection

8.3.2. Connecting a 8-Lead Stepper Motor in Parallel Connection

Refer to the wiring diagram of your stepper motor datasheet. Figure 9 illustrates how to connect an 8-lead

stepper motor to the MX3660 in parallel connection.

Due to the lower inductance for an 8-lead stepper motor in parallel connection, its high speed torque drops

slower (“better high-speed torque”) than in series connection during higher speed motor rotation. This makes

parallel connection preferred for applications runs in high speeds constantly such as CNC Routers. Due to the

parallel connected stepper motor will draw more current, thus it also has high requirements for the powering

stepper drive. Fortunately, the maximum 6.0A output for each of three stepper drive module will allow the

MX3660 to drive stepper motors up to NEMA 34 in parallel connection.

Theoretically, to get the maximum torque of a parallel connected 8-lead stepper motor, you should multiply the

phase current by 1.4. But it is suggested to set a “just enough” lower value to prevent too much heating from

your stepper motor.

Warning

Never connect or disconnect a stepper motor while the power is on.

9. Connecting an E-Stop Switch or Shorting the Connection

The E-Stop connection is required. The E-Stop connector is located next to the power connector (Figure 3). By

default, the MX3660’s activation requires an emergency stop switch connected, or having the two connection

pins, “ESTOP+”and “ESTOP-“, shorted.

Refer to Figure 10 for how to connect an”E-Stop switch. To short the E-Stop connection, just connect a signal

wire between the “ESTOP+” and “ESTOP –” pins.

Figure 10 E-stop switch connections

Notice

Without the a E-STOP switch connected, or short circuit between Estop+ and Estop-

pins, the red LED lights of the 3 stepper drive modules will blink 3 times periodically
