Geing Started
is manual describes the use of four 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:

ing 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 (32 or 64 bit).
•
ST Congurator
™ and

ucts/soware.

If you’ve never used an SWM24 drive you’ll need to get familiar with the drive and the set up soware before you try to
deploy the system in your application. We strongly recommend the following:
1. For -Q drives, download and install the
ST Congurator
™ soware applications, available at www.applied-
motion.com/products/soware.
2. Launch the soware by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion...
3. Connect the drive to your PC using the programming cable.
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 SWM24
As with any stepper motor the SWM24 must be mounted so as to provide maximum heat-sinking and air-ow. Keep
space around the Drive+Motor to allow convected air-ow.
• Never use your Drive+Motor in a space where there is no air ow or where other devices cause the sur-
rounding air to be more than 40°C.
• Always provide airow around the Drive+Motor .
