Hi Guys,

I am searching for electronics for my BF20L (G0704) conversion, and came across the below new "budget" steppers. I was thinking that about using the DMA860E for the Z and the DME542E for the X & Y.

  • Anti-Resonance for optimal torque, smooth motion, low motor heating and noise
  • Motor auto-identification and parameter auto-configuration for optimal torque from wide-range motors
  • Step & direction (PUL/DIR) and CW/CCW (via internal jumper set) control. Step & direction by default
  • Multi-Stepping for smooth motor movement
  • Opto Isolation for input control signals
  • Input voltage 18-80VAC or 24-110VDC
  • 16 selectable micro-step resolutions of 400-51,200 via DIP switches
  • 8 selectable output current settings of 2.4 – 7.2A via DIP switches
  • Soft-start with no “jump” when powered on
  • Pulse input frequency up to 200 KHz. TTL compatible and optically isolated inputs
  • Automatic idle-current reduction
  • Protections for over-voltage and over-current



The features seem fairly comprehensive, am i missing something as far as required features, what makes this a budget driver?

Regards,

Dan
