Requirements
To begin, make sure you have the following equipment
- A small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
- A personal computer running Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, ME, NT, XP, Vista or 7/8/10/11
- ST Configurator™ software (available at www.applied-motion.com/products/software).
- For RS-232 models: an Applied Motion programming cable (included)
- For RS-485 models: an RS-422 or RS-485 port or adapter for your PC (see reverse for recommended RS-485 adapter)
- For more detailed information, please download and read the STM23 Hardware Manual (or STM24 Hardware Manual), available at www.applied-motion.com/support/manuals.
Step 1
Wire the drive to the DC power source. (do not apply power until all connections to the drive have been made.)
Note: STM23 and STM24 accept DC voltages from 12-70V. If using an external fuse, we recommend the following:
- STM23: 3AG, 4 amp (Littlefuse 313004P)
- STM24: 3AG, 5 amp (Littlefuse 313005P)
See the product hardware manual for more information about power supply and fuse selection.
Step 2
- Download and install the ST Configurator™ software.
- Launch the software by clicking: Start / Programs / Applied Motion Products / ST Configurator
- Select the correct COM port using the drop-down list
- Connect the drive to your PC using the RS-232 programming cable or RS-422/485 adaptor
Step 3
- Apply power to the drive. The drive model and firmware revision should be automatically displayed. If they are not, check the com port setting.
- Follow the configuration instructions in the ST Configurator™ help screens. The ST Configurator™ software can be used to set up your drive to operate in several different modes including Pulse & Direction, Analog Velocity, and SCL.
- ST Configurator™ includes a self test option (under the Drive menu) to verify that the STM and power supply are correctly wired and configured.
