Geing Started
is manual describes the use of dierent drive models. What you need to know and what you must have depends
on the drive model. For all models, you’ll need the following:
• a 12 - 70 volt DC power supply. Please read the section entitled Choosing a Power Supply for help in
choosing the right power supply.
• a small at blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
• a personal computer running Microso Windows 98, 2000, NT, Me , XP, Vista or 7.
•
ST Congurator
™ and
Q Programmer
™ soware applications, available at hp://www.applied-motion.com/
products/soware.
• An Applied Motion programming cable (included in RS-232 Models, RS-485 converters are available from
AMP) or a CAT5 patch cable for Ethernet models.
If you’ve never used an STM23 drive before you’ll need to get familiar with the drive and the set up soware be-
fore you try to deploy the system in your application. We strongly recommend the following:
1. For Q/IP/C models, download and install the
ST Congurator
™ and
Q Programmer
™ soware applications,
available at www.applied-motion.com/products/soware. For S models, install the
ST Congurator
™.
2. Launch the soware by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion...
3. Connect the drive to your PC using the programming cable. When using RS-485, it must be set up in the
4-Wire conguration (See “Connecting to a host using RS-485” below). For Ethernet models, connect directly to
your PC’s Ethernet port or connect the STM23 to a router or switch. See page 20 for more information.
4. Connect the drive to the power supply.
5. Apply power to the drive.
6. e soware will recognize your drive, display the model and rmware version and be ready for action.
Mounting the Motor+Drive
As with any stepper motor the STM23 motors must be mounted so as to provide maximum heat-sinking and air-
ow. Keep space around the STM23 Motor+Drive to allow convected air-ow.
• Never use your drive in a space where there is no air ow or where other devices cause the sur-
rounding air to be more than 40°C.
• Never put the drive where it can get wet or where metal or other electrically conductive particles
can get on the circuitry.
• Always provide air-ow around the drive.
