What Is Baud Rate?
English: Baud rate refers to the number of signal changes per second in serial communication, essentially indicating data transfer speed. The higher the baud rate, the more data packets can be transmitted per second. When using a communication driver, both the device and controller must be set to the same baud rate to ensure stable and reliable data exchange.
Common Baud Rates
– 9600 bps
– 19200 bps
– 38400 bps
– 57600 bps
– 115200 bps
Our 42-Stepper Motor Communication Driver
– Factory Default Settings: 115200, N, 8, 1
115200: Baud Rate
N: No Parity
8: Data Bits
1: Stop Bit
– Customization: If you require a different baud rate, please remark when ordering (e.g., 9600, 19200, or 38400).
Our 57-Stepper Motor Communication Driver
– Supports DIP-Switch Selection:
• 9600 bps
• 115200 bps
– Operating Instructions:
1.Power off and set the DIP switches to the desired baud rate.
2.Power on; the driver will run at the selected baud rate.
– Tip: Always turn off power before adjusting to avoid damage from incorrect operation

How to Choose the Right Baud Rate?
Data Volume Requirements:
– High volume → choose a high baud rate (e.g., 115200)
– Low volume → a lower baud rate is acceptable (e.g., 9600)
Transmission Distance:
– For long-distance transmission, very high baud rates are more susceptible to interference; consider lowering the rate.
System Compatibility:
– Ensure all communication modules support the chosen baud rate.
Ordering & Customization Guide
| Model | Baud Rate Settings | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 42 | Default 115200, N,8,1 | Please specify in order notes |
| 57 | DIP-Switch 9600/115200 | Switchable by customer |
When placing an order, please indicate your required baud rate or special configuration in the “Order Notes” for fast processing.
Whether it’s a peristaltic pump driver or a stepper motor driver, correct baud rate settings are key to communication stability. Choosing the right baud rate balances efficient data transfer and resistance to interference. Our 42-series and 57-series offer flexible baud rate options to meet various industrial automation needs.
