Which Leadshine Driver can we select from the List in the Wizard

Post by MJR »

Dear All,
We bought the Driver HB860H. We have read that this Driver is comparable to the HBS86H Leadshine Driver. In the Wizard (selection of driver) of Centroid Acorn we have three choices that we can make with a Leadshine. We don't know what to choose. Please can you advice us in this matter.

Use the "DM Series"
Set Step pulse rate to 100K
Connect to the DB25 header
Do not connect to the "ENA" terminals

Why do you suggest the "DM Series"? We do have a closed loop Driver. I thought we had to choose between the Leadshine CS-D1008 or the Leadshine CS-D508. The Closed Loop Driver is the HBS860H (I misspelled it in the first post, sorry).

In reality there is little or no difference, but those clone drives are closer to the DM series than the CS or ES drives. Just make sure all your other settings are correct once the drive type is selected
