Step 1
-
Download and install the ST Configurator™ and, for -Q models, the Q Programmer™ software. (Q Programmer™ is included in current instal-lations of ST Configurator™)
-
Launch the software by clicking:
Start / Programs / Applied Motion Products / ST Configurator -
Connect the drive to your network or PC using a standard CAT5 cable.
-
Select an appropriate IP address using the rotary switch on the STAC5. For more information about network configurations and IP addressing, please consult the STAC5 Hardware Manual.
Step 2
- Wire the drive to the AC power source. (do not apply power until all connections to the drive have been made)
Note, the STAC5-120 accepts AC voltages from 94-135 VAC, while the STAC5-220 accepts AC voltages from 94-265 VAC.
The STAC5-120 contains an internal 8A fast acting fuse. The STAC5-220 contains an internal 3.5A fast acting fuse. If an external
fuse is desired, we recommend a 6A fast acting fuse for the 120V STAC5 and a 3 amp fast acting fuse for the 220V version.
Step 3
- Connect the drive to the motor. If you are using one of the recommended Applied Motion motors, connect the motor in parallel to the STAC5-120 and in series to the STAC5-220,
- Be sure to connect the motor case ground to the STAC5 ground terminal.
- For a non-Applied Motion Products motor, please refer to your motor specs for wiring information.
- For Applied Motion Products motors with different wire colors, obtain wiring diagrams from www.applied-motion.com or contact technical support.
