Setup of Leadshine HBS507 Closed Loop or Hybrid Servo Step Driver 

+Az Thanks for the encouragement

+Az i found it too. thanks to Martin

Any updates on this, im in the same boat.

Hi John I still have the OX and I'm very happy with it. Actually so much that I recently started to import OpenBuilds parts to Scandinavia. One week ago I launched a website maker supplies.dk. I also use the X-carve. I have small size so it complement the much bigger OX. If I was to choose one and start now I would go for the much more robust OX. Main advantage of the X-carve is that it comes with all you need. For the OX you need to source electronic and mechanics separately. Best wishes Martin

BTW the control box 20x60 was just some leftover from my OX build

You will usually be using micro stepping e.g. 8x. So with 1.8dg you have 200 steps around times 8 equals 1600 positions for one rotation. So in the same order of magnitude as the encoder. I would think that you still may risk loosing a few micro steps but I do not know if the controller has a way to compensate for this as it "knows" both the number of step pulses send and the micro stepping setting - so maybe the risk is low. Others please comment

Hi Adi, You can use use the Closed Loop Driver/stepper together with PoKeys57CNC - no problem. As long as you secure to get a driver that is controlled by STEP/DIR signals you are good to go.

Would you be willing to share a link?

You only use the RS232 connection when changing (read/write) the settings of the driver. When they are ok you do not need the cable anymore

Yes, if you load grbl to the Arduino you will have STEP and DIR signals on the digital outputs (think it is pin 2 to 7)

If you bought a CN domestic driver (like me) the software is not available on leadshine.com homepage. I found mine on their domestic page leisai.com Hope you will have success.

+Tim Le Hi Tim,HBS507 is a Chinese Domestic version that they do not support outside CN. This is probably also why the software is in Chinese only. You can however, easily find it for sale on ebay. Outside CN they sell ES-D as you say. I have been in contact both with the Chinese headquarter and the US branch and the message was the same. So if you are outside CN and buy HBS you can not expect support. Best wishes, Martin

Hej Martin, Du kan finde den engelske version af ProTune her: leadshine.com/UploadFile/Down/ProTuner_ES_Setup_2013-10-26.zip Jeg er igang med an maskine med Leadshine ES-D508 som er den europaeriske version af HBS507.Jeg bruger den engelske version til mine og det ligner din kinesiske version bare laesbar :-).

+Per Brandt Hej Per, Den har jeg prøvet men det vil ikke kommunikere med HBS507. Det ser ud til at programmet spørger til hvilken controller der er tilsluttet og kun vil virke med den korrekte. Jeg har skrevet til dem for et stykke tid siden og svaret var at de ikke supporterer domestic controllers på andet end kinesisk. Så lektien er nok at man entes skal kunne kinesisk eller købe den du har. Beskriver du din masikne noget sted. Det vil være interessant at se hvad du laver. Jeg regner med at poste en video mere med min HBS507 når jeg engang kommer til at få dem monteret. Det er desværre ikke så let da hele ledningsføringen skal laves om og jeg skal have størere drag chains på for at have plads til de ekstra ledninger.Hilsen Martin

+daSamo123 I don't think that is feasible. On the grbl shield you have all the stepper controller integrated so you do bot have easy acces to the signals you need. Instead use a break out board or one of the USB boards available. This will also work with Marc3 - not an option for grbl.

thx

If you use MAch3 as you PC software you have to make one of the two "slave" of the other. Often you have two motors on the Y-axis. One is the normal Y and the other will be A. So here you assign A to be slave of Y.

i am using mach4. it seem same setup applied.. but the problem is, when 1 motor not moving the other one is still moving,, is there any way to communicate the driver ,, is there any connection wiring? like alarm signal.. how to connect them.

Can you access this link? www.dropbox.com/s/dmpllxo2xick5yr/HBS507.zip?dl=0

Hi Martin, my Namwe is Stephan. I just received from china the HBS507 set. I could not acces the driver with the englisch software- Is the software you uploadet in your dropbox functioning with the HBS507 driver . I desperately need to change the default settingfor the enable to active High , now it is set at active low. ossibly i also need to change the steps rate . Thanks a lot . I hope i will be able to access the Driver . Sincerely Stephan@@martinbarfoed5040

+Akrout Osama Hi Akrout, No I have not tried that yet. But it must be doable using the same G38.2 command over and over again and making a "topo" map of the surface.

+Martin Barfoed oh yes but wich software can converts the probing in a 3d objects into a CAD file ? do you have an idea ?

Akrout Osama Check out this Instructables - looks useful: www.instructables.com/id/PCB-designing-and-isolationmilling-only-using-free/ The mention that Chilipeppr has the autolevel function build in. You can find the button in the upper left corner. Check out: chilipeppr.com/grbl

Hi Rafi, Im sorry but I do not think I can give you an advice here. Have you checked that the basic motor/controller works like I do in the video. If not one of the parts might be broken

Did you solved the problem ? Software (ProTuner-HBS) return me the same as I tried to connect the RS232 port to the driver ;-(

Hi Vuong Do, This controller is connected to the computer exactly the same way as "normal" controllers like DM542. You can use a parallel break out board or a USB board to make the connection. I made two videos some time ago describing both ways. Parallel BoB: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-12LoOmPAJ3o.html and USB using AKZ250: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_kRBPg2Coh0.html Hope this helps you.

Im fairly sure that the first link below (HBS507.zip) is the Chinese program. The cable I use is DB9 to 6 pin RJ type connector. It a 6 wire cable. In the RJ end the connections are: pin 1-white, pin2- black, pin3 -red, pin4-green, pin5-yellow, pin6 blue. In the DB9 end only three wires are connected. pin2-red (+5?), pin3-yellow (Tx), pin5- green (Rx) . Here is also a link to the UK manual: www.dropbox.com/s/53gkf16qfipk689/HBS%20Software%20Manual.pdf?dl=0

Hello Martin , Thanks for your response. I downloaded The links in your dropbox . The first one is a collection of CAD Drawings ( HBS507.zip) i did not found a exe software in this folder. The second link is a plain english version of the pro tuner ..so i am wondering its a tradution of the original chines Software ? Do you stillhave the plain chinese software ? I made the Cable as per your instruction , the strange thing is that it is not the same pinouts in the RJ11 as per leadshine Manual ?! so still stuck no way to connect to the servo driver. ( With your dropbox software and a your cable suggestion ) I must say that i am not a beginner in electronics , but i suspect that the issue could be the software. Sorry for disturbing you again. I would appreciate to get the original chinese software... i found the drive in the leisei page ....but i don't know where to download !! Thanks Stephan

@@stephanbutler2095 I can try to email you the CN software

Hello Martin , thanks so much my mail is : hb3_yso@bluewin.ch sincerely Stephan

Super thanks for sharing

I need one controlerr for Bsh 507 , what do you used?

In this video I use HBS507 but you can get many other similar. Currently I'm looking at 2HSS57 from JMC.

Not with this controller. Output for the motor is U V W - so you need a 3 phase motor. Normal stepper typically have A+ A- B+ B- output.

Connection should be immediate - no wait

@@martinbarfoed5040 thanks mate! However no matter what i try to do i get Communication Error and it doesn't connect. It is HBS57 which is only for china domestic purposes. Wrote to the vendor i bought it from so let see... :(

The cable I use is DB9 to 6 pin RJ type connector. It a 6 wire cable. In the RJ end the connections are: pin 1-white, pin2- black, pin3 red, pin4-green, pin5-yellow, pin6 blue. In the DB9 end only three wires are connected. pin2-red (+5?), pin3-yellow (Tx), pin5 green (Rx) .

Hi ptipupu, You need to connect three (3) wires from the DB9 to the RJ11. It goes as follows: DB9 (2) -> RJ11 (4); DB9 (3) -> RJ11 (2); DB9 (5) -> RJ11 (3)

Thank you for your answer Martin..... That is what I did or may be I'm confused with the sequence (1,2,3 ...) on the RJ11 ? Is it a problem if the driver is already connected to the axe controller (breakout board) of the CNC ?

Martin, Do you agree the notification of the Datasheet of the Easy Servo Drive ES-D508 on lead shine.com ? www.leadshine.com/UploadFile/Down/ES-D508d_V1.2.pdf It's written RJ11 Pin 3 =TxD (transmit) Pin 4 = GRD Pin 5=RxD with a schedule of the RJ11

Martin !! It works now ! Thanks to you, but it's clear that the CNC as to be unplugged.

Hello ptipupu, Did you get the connection and access the drive's software?

Yes. E.g grbl for Arduino sends STEP and DIR signal that this driver will work with.

For CNC, replace old nema stepper motor and driver with ES-D driver and step servo motors, then closed loop system is done? or need to modify some firmware or software settings?

Leadshine Hi, how to communicate two driver, like 1 axis using 2 motor, if 1 motor wont move and the other motor have to stop also, to prevent from twisting the gantry..

Excuse me but... your website doesn´t work. Not your link nor leadshine.com/ Not from Spain, maybe not accesible server from here... Interesting product but no way. I hope read you later. Timeout expired.

Say for X axis, you need 1 driver for each motor, and use the spare A axis (or another one) and call it X1 for the other side of the gantry and then map that in the port setup for your software.

not true, there are 3 phase steppers as well.

@@kermitfrog1897 Not in AC 3 phase they don't.

@@johnward5890 I never said they were AC. Three phase steppers are everywhere. You can argue that PWM is not ac and is DC ...whatever. Still 3 phase. Do a search for 3 phase stepper motor

+Wei Wang Thanks for the tip!
