Assuming your controller outputs a standard 5 VDC signal for the step & direction, no resistor should be required.
Hello,
Thank you for taking a look.
I have a 5x10 router running mdrive steppers on x and y. They work great, the drivers are married to the motors and are super simple to set up/wire.
I'm installing a new standard type nema23 on the z axis. It has the normal separate driver. I need help figuring if it needs to be wired with resistors and if so their values.
I'm going to run this stepper:
Manufacturer Part Number: 23HS45-4204S
Motor Type: Bipolar Stepper
Step Angle: 1.8 deg
Holding Torque: 3.0Nm(425oz.in)
Rated Current/phase: 4.2A
Voltage: 3.78V
Phase Resistance: 0.9ohms
Inductance: 3.8mH ± 20%(1KHz)
and this driver
Input Voltage: DC24V~60V
Continuous Current: 7.5A
Max Pulse Frequency: 200K
Default Communication Rate: 57.6kbps
Overcurrent Protection: Peak 10A±10%
Over voitage Protection: Peak 90VDC
with his power supply:
48V/7.3A Switching CNC Power Supply (KL-350-48)
I'm running step and direction only, no enable
I'm thinking I need a resistor on PUL+ and DIR+ ?? I have spent a few sessions/hours on the interwebs searching for specific info. Any help is much appreciated!!
Any help in figuring the values would be great if this system needs a resistor.
Thanks Again

Thanks Jim-
It says 5V. I'm just on the other side of town in Hillsboro, small world.
Thanks Again,

All the stepper drivers I have looked at that have opto-isolated step . direction & enable inputs
are designed to work with 5V logic level inputs and have a resistor of around 200 to 300 ohms to limit the LED current to about 16 to 10 mA
the enable input is the odd one out as its a negative logic input that may be better seen as a disable input !
the stepper driver being enabled with no signal in to the enable input !!!
first stepper driver found on line has this
if you assume the volt drop across the LED is 1.8V
with a 5V input
the internal 270 ohm resistor limits the current to 3.2 / 270 = 11.8 mA
with a 12 V input
the 270 ohm + 1000 ohm resistors limits the current to 10.2 / 1270 = 8 mA
with a 24V input
the 270 ohm + 2000 ohm resistor limits the current to 22.2 / 2270 = 9.7 mA

John,
Thanks for clarifying
so with a 48V power source
46/3270 = 14 mA??
3000 ohm resistor if such a thing is made??
Vince
Would it be safe to say that:
.014x48 gives me .672 watts?
I found a 1.5k, 1 watt resistor, so run 2 in parallel?
I think I may be getting now???

Vince, you are confusing the motor power (48V) with the signal power. Your controller should output 5V step & direction signals, that is industry standard. The step & direction signals are not connected to the motor power supply in any way.

which breakout board or motion control are you using
I expect your board to operate at 5V TTL levels so you don't need any resistors
most breakout boards either have an onboard regulator to drop stepper driver supply to 5V or are powered by an external 5V supply
on some Chinese BOB's uses the 5V from a PC's USB port
this Chinese BOB for example
takes 5V from the PC USB port to power the IC's that connect the PC to the stepper drivers
and has a 10V regulator that drops the 24V that very often powers a TB6560 stepper driver
to power a PWM to analogue 10V converter and the opto-isolators used to connect the 5 inputs to the PC
the only control I can think of of hand that uses 24V for inputs and outputs are industrial programmable logic controllers
the Gecko G540 has a built in regulator to drop the 15 to 50V supply to 12V for its logic circuits
so you will find the open circuit voltage at one of its 4 inputs
( the 5th input is used by the G540 to signal a E-stop or fault )

John,
100% understood , and thank you for taking your time to explain. The break out board or controller is definitely 5v. Routing parts as we speak. Thanks again!
Happy holiday-
