Wire the drive to the AC power source. (Do not apply power until Step 3)
Note: The STAC6-C uses 120VAC single-phase power. The STAC6-C-220 uses 220VAC single-phase power.
If using an external fuse, we recommend the following:
- STAC6-C: 6 amp fast acting
- STAC6-C-220: 3 amp fast acting
See the hardware manual for more information about connecting AC power.
Ensure a proper earth-ground connection.
Connect the drive to the motor.
Refer to the wiring diagrams below. For details and recommended motors, see the STAC6 Hardware Manual.
Connect the I/O
Connect the Encoder

Connect to CAN network. Applied Motion Products STAC6-C drives use a four-pin spring connector, that conforms to the DR303 specification. The connector should be wired in a daisy-chain configuration with a 120 Ohm resistor used to terminate each end.
Set BitRate, Node IDCANOpen Bitrate – AMP CANOpen drives have three sets- things, one for Bit Rate and two for Node ID. The Bit Rate is configured using an eight-position switch. See the Bit Rate table for the Bit Rate settings. The Node ID is configured using a sixteen-position switch to set up the lower four bits
of the Node ID. The upper three bits of the Node ID are set using the STAC Configurator™. Valid ranges for the Node
ID is 0x01 through 0x7F. Node ID 0x00 is reserved in accordance with the DS301 specification.
Note: The Node ID and Bit Rate are captured only after a power cycle, or after a network reset command has been sent. Changing the switches while the drive is powered on will NOT change the Node ID or Bit Rate until one of these conditions has been met.

Connect the drive to your PC using the RS-232 programming cable.
Download and install STAC Configuratorâ„¢ software, available at www.applied-motion.com.
Launch the software by clicking Start/Programs/Applied Motion Products/STAC Configurator
Apply power to the drive.
Use the STAC Configuratorâ„¢ to set up the motor current, load iner-
limit switches, encoder functionality (if applicable), and Node ID.
The STAC Configuratorâ„¢ includes a self-test option (under the Drive menu) o verify that the STAC6-C and motor are correctly wired and configured.
When the configuration is complete, exit STAC Configuratorâ„¢.
The drive will automatically switch to CANOpen Mode.
