DQ542MA Driver proper settings for NEMA 17 Stepper Motor Using a 24&nbsp;V power supply I have two NEMA 17 stepper motors each driven by a DQ542MA stepper motor driver. I have the current settings on the driver set for a RMS of 1.69 and a pulse/rev of 400. When I run the motors they run extremely well but become extremely hot. I need help to figure out what would be the proper settings to use in order to stop the overheating.

Attached is a photo of the motor's setting tables:
It is completely normal for a stepper motor to get hot. Taking this datasheet for example, specifies a 80 °C temperature rise. That is, in an room that is 25 °C ambient temperature, the motors would get up to 105 °C.

To prevent the motors from getting as hot you could further reduce the operating current, but likely the temperature they're running at is normal.
