Wiring & Guides

General wiring guidelines for AdamPower stepper motors and drivers.

General Motor Wiring

All AdamPower 2-phase hybrid stepper motors use standard bipolar wiring configurations. The most common configurations are:

This is the most common configuration for AdamPower stepper motors. Connect one phase to each coil winding:

For motors with center-tapped windings, you can connect in either unipolar or bipolar configuration.

Bipolar Half-Coil (higher speed, lower torque):

8-lead motors offer flexibility for different operating conditions:

Series Connection - Higher torque at low speeds. Connect pairs in series before connecting to the driver.
Parallel Connection - Higher torque at high speeds. Connect pairs in parallel before connecting to the driver.

For closed-loop stepper motors (17IE, 23IE, 24IE, 34IE), the encoder wiring is as follows:

Terminal	Name	Description
1	V+	Power Supply (8-48V DC)
2	V-	Power Ground
3	X0 (PU+)	Pulse Input / Universal Input (3.3-24V DC)
4	X0- (PU-)	Pulse Input Negative
5	X1 (DR+)	Direction Input / Universal Input
6	X1- (DR-)	Direction Input Negative
7	X2 (EN+)	Enable Input / Universal Input (3.3-24V DC)
8	X2- (EN-)	Enable Input Negative
9	Y0 (AL+)	Alarm Output (default)
10	Y0- (AL-)	Alarm Output Negative
11	Y1	In-Place Output (default)
12	Y1-	In-Place Output Negative

Terminal	Name	Description
1	V+	Power Supply (8-48V DC)
2	V-	Power Ground
3	X0 (PU+)	High-speed Pulse / Universal Input (3.3-24V DC)
4	X0- (PU-)	Input Negative
5	X1 (DR+)	Universal Input
6	X1- (DR-)	Universal Input Negative
7	X2 (EN+)	Enable Input
8	X2- (EN-)	Enable Input Negative
9	Y0 (AL+)	Alarm Output (default)
10	Y0- (AL-)	Alarm Output Negative
11	485A	RS485 Communication A
12	485B	RS485 Communication B

Note: Supply voltage should be at least 8-10 times the motor's rated voltage for optimal high-speed performance with microstepping drivers.
