Applied Motion Products STM17R Integrated Steppers

Requirements

To begin, make sure you have the following equipment:

• A small flat blade screwdriver for configuring the DIP switches (included).
• DC Power Source, 12-48VDC
• For more detailed information, please download and read the STM17R Hardware Manual, available at www.applied-motion.com/support/manuals.

Step 1

Connect the drive to the DC power source. The STM17R will accept DC power from 12-48VDC.
Per the diagram at the right, connect the red wire to the positive output terminal on the power supply, typically marked V+, and the black wire to the negative terminal, typically marked V-.
(Do not apply power until all connections to the drive have been made)

Step 2

Connect input signals to the drive. STEP and DIR are required, EN and OUT are optional.

• See the STM17R Hardware Manual for circuit connection details and examples.
  

Step 3

Set the motor’s running current using switches 1 and 2.

• This is the percentage of full current that the motor will use when the shaft is rotating.
  

Step 4

Set the motor’s idle current using switch 3.

• This is the percentage of running current that the motor will use when the shaft is not rotating. Choose 90% for maximum holding torque or 50% to reduce motor heating.

Step 5

Select the load-to-motor inertia ratio category using switch 7.

• This is the ratio of the effective load inertia to the motor’s own rotor inertia. For high inertia loads choose 5-10X, and for low inertia loads choose 0-4X. Setting the proper range for the load will improve motor smoothness.

Step 6

Select the desired step resolution (steps/rev) using switches 1-4, located on a second block of 4 switches.

Step 7

Optional settings. The default settings for these switches are typically sufficient. See the STM17R Hardware Manual for details on these functions.

1. [Switch 5] Step Pulse Noise Filter
2. [Switch 6] Step Smoothing Filter
3. [Switch 8] Step Pulse Type (Step/Direction is default)
   

Step 8

Optionally, you can test motor operation by activating switch 4 to initiate a self test move.

• The self test move continually rotates the motor forward and backward  2-1/2 revolutions.
