Safely connect DM2282 Stepper Drive with NEMA 42

Hello,

The following is further work relating to my original experiments in this thread.

For an experiment I am conducting I have purchased a DM2282 Drive and a NEMA 42 motor.
What I want to do is to power and run the motor at a CONSTANT speed, preferably as slow as possible (very low RPM).

I have several resources I've checked for the connections and wiring such as:
Driver Manual

and images like the one attached to the post.

Since I am not an engineer and my knowledge of circuits and electronics is almost zero, I am worried that my chances of burning either the motor or the driver are quite high on first trial... :confused:

In order to avoid this, I would love to understand what I can and cannot do:

  1. Can I power the DM2282 with a wall power supply directly? a regular 220-240V that is?
    This tutorial powers it with a separate 24V power supply.. I'm wondering if I need to buy that as well or not.

  2. Like the picture attached (which I found online), can I attach the system in the following sequence:

Power Supply --> DM2282--> NEMA 42--> Arduino --> USB 5v

or do I need some power control / resistors or a way to prevent things from exploding/burning up? I realize the driver should have most of these mechanisms built-in...

  1. I could not really understand from the driver pdf, which are the recommended power settings for this specific driver.

Any help on these issues would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Thank you and again apologies for the limited knowledge I come with to this issue.

NEMA 42 only specifies the motor's mounting dimensions, need to know the motor's volt and Amp rating and number of wires, can you post a link?
I do see that you need a wire from Arduino 5V pin to the DM422C OPTO terminal.

Yes of course:
