4.2 Mechanical data The case of the stepper motor control TSP10 consists of two parts which are joined and screwed together. A part of the case is designed as a heatsink bracket including cut-outs to mount the TSP10 in the switchboard.
The stepper motor control TSP10 is usually fastened with M4 screws on a mounting surface of the switchboard. The cut-outs for the screws are arranged in such a way that the TSP10 may be mounted at the back of the device or at its side.
Page 15
Page 15 of 77 TSP10 This illustration shows how to mount the TSP10 at the back of the device. The measures given indicate how much space should be left. The shaded area may be occupied by other devices or the switchboard wall.
Page 16
Page 16 of 77 TSP10 This illustration shows how to mount the TSP10 at the side of the device. The measures given indicate how much space should be left. The shaded area may be occupied by more devices or the switchboard wall.
The motor will also shut down, for example, if the motor current exceeds the permissible peak value. The thermal loss from the stepper motor control TSP10 is mainly a function of the motor current and the chosen current reduction. This means that the highest permissible motor current is a function of the cooling of the TSP10.

The ground wire (terminal 4) may not be longer than 1 m. · The wire between the charging capacitor of the supply voltage unit and the TSP10 may not be longer than 1 m, for longer wires, install an external storage capacitor.
Page 24
For applications with several axes, it is better to provide each cable with a fuse between supply voltage unit and each TSP10 than to loop the supply voltage through from device to device. The ground wire (terminal 4) may be in the cable shielding, too.
Without any shielding, the motor circuits assume the function of aerials, emitting signals into their environment which may cause malfunctions of other electronic devices. Strictly observe, hence, the notes on the shielding of motor cables and the grounding of the TSP10 case.

17. Save the parameters in the device. 18. Switch off the supply voltage. 19. Connect the load again to the motor. 20. Power on again, the TSP10 is ready for use. If any faults occurred during startup, follow the notes in chapter 12 Fault recovery. www.ahs-antriebstechnik.de...
TSP10 Fault recovery The stepper motor control TSP10 switches off to protect itself if internal measured values reveal a fault state. The output signal enabled (chapter 6.5 Signal inputs and outputs, signal connection, output signals) is deleted and the fault number is indicated by a blinking code of the two-colour LED on the front side of the device (chapter 8 Operation lights).
The LED display is green The motor has a holding moment but does not rotate. The control signals are not recognised. Check whether the version of the TSP10 signal inputs (5 V or 24 V) fits to the output signals of your control or clock generator.
Page 72
The motor does not reach the expected position. Check whether the step size set in the TSP10 agrees with the step size set in your control. Check whether the motor stops or loses steps because it is burdened too much by too high acceleration or load torques.
High electric voltage may cause hazardous electric shock to people. · Measure the voltage at the supply voltage connection (X3) of the TSP10 and wait until the voltage has dropped below 40 V before you touch the electric connections of the stepper motor control.
