Applied Motion Products ST5-10-Plus Stepper Motor Controller User Guide
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 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000 or XP, Vista or 7/8/10/11.
- ST Configurator™ software (available at www.applied-motion.com).
- An Applied Motion programming cable (included).
- For more detailed information, please download and read the ST5/10-S Hardware Manual, available at www.applied-motion.com/support/manuals.
Step 1
- Download and install the ST Configurator™ software.
- Launch the software by clicking: Start / Programs / Applied Motion Products / ST Configurator
- Connect the drive to your PC using the appropriate programming cable.
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-Plus accepts DC voltages from 24-48V, while the ST10-Plus accepts DC voltages from 24-80V.
-
Ensure a proper earth ground connection by using the screw on the left side of the chassis.
If using an external fuse, we recommend the following:
ST5: 3AG, 4 amp (Littlefuse 313004P)
ST10: 3AG, 6.25 amp (Littlefuse 3136.25P)
See the ST5/10-S Hardware Manual for more information about power supply and fuse selection.
Step 3
Connect the drive to the motor. Four lead motors can be connected in only one
way, as shown in Figure 1.
We recommend that eight lead motors be connected in parallel, as shown in
Figure 2.
If using a non-Applied Motion Products motor, please refer to your motor specs
for wiring information.
