Requirements
To begin, make sure you have the following equipment:
- A compatible stepper motor.
- A small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
- A personal computer running Microsoft Windows 98, NT, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, or 7/8/10/11.
- ST Configurator™ Ethernet and Q Programmer software (available at www.applied-motion.com).
- A CAT5 network cable (not included).
- For more detailed information, please download and read the ST-QSiC Hard- ware Manual, available at www.applied-motion.com/support/manuals.
Step 1
-
Download and install the ST Configurator™ Ethernet software.
-
Launch the software by clicking:
Start / Programs / Applied Motion Products / ST Configurator -
Connect the drive to your PC using a standard CAT5 cable.
-
Select an appropriate IP address using the rotary switch. For more information about network configurations and IP addressing, please consult the ST-QSiC Hardware manual.
Step 2
-
Wire the drive to the DC power source. (do not apply power until all connections to the drive have been made)
Note, the ST5-IP accepts DC voltages from 24-48V, while the ST10-IP accepts DC voltages from 24-80V.
If using an external fuse, we recommend the following:
ST5-IP: 3AG, 7 amp (Littlefuse 313007P)
ST10-IP: 3AG, 7 amp (Littlefuse 313007P)
See the ST-QSiC Hardware Manual for more information about power supply and fuse selection.
-
Ensure a proper earth ground connection by using the screw on the left side of the chassis.
Step 3
Warning – If you are using a non-Applied Motion motor, do not connect the
motor until you have configured the drive for your motor. Refer to Step 5.
- Connect the drive to the motor. Four lead motors can be connected in only one way.
- We recommend that eight lead motors be connected in parallel.
- If using a non-Applied Motion Products motor, please refer to your motor specs for wiring information.
Step 4
- Connect the I/O
- Connect the Encoder (optional)
- Connect to Ethernet network
Step 5
- Apply power to the drive.
- Follow the configuration instructions in the ST Configurator™ Ethernet help screens. The ST Configurator™ Ethernet software can be used to set up your drive for operation in several different modes including: pulse & direction, analog velocity, SCL, and Q programming. ST Configurator™ Ethernet software includes a self test option (under the Drive menu) to verify that the motor and power supply are correctly wired and configured.
