920-0026 Rev. B STAC5 Hardware manual 4/22/2011 Getting Started This manual describes the use of four different 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: •...
920-0026 Rev. B STAC5 Hardware manual 4/22/2011 Connecting the Drive to Your PC using Ethernet This process requires three steps • Physically connect the drive to your network (or directly to the PC) • Set the drive’s IP address • Set the appropriate networking properties on your PC.
920-0026 Rev. B STAC5 Hardware manual 4/22/2011 know who I’m talking about) then you will not be able to communicate with your drive. The only way to “recover” it is to use the universal recovery address. Setting F is “DHCP”, which commands the drive to get an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. The IP address automatically assigned by the DHCP server may be “dynamic”...

920-0026 Rev. B STAC5 Hardware manual 4/22/2011 Connecting the Motor Never connect or disconnect the motor while the power is on. Note: it is highly recommended that you use a motor with a shielded cable with the STAC5. Always connect the cable drain wire to the drive’s terminal (next to the A+ terminal) The recommended Applied Motion motors for the STAC5 include shielded cables.

920-0026 Rev. B STAC5 Hardware manual 4/22/2011 Six lead motors can be connected in series or center tap. In series mode, motors produce more torque at low speeds, but cannot run as fast as in the center tap configuration. In series operation, the motor should be operated at 30% less than the rated current to prevent overheating.
920-0026 Rev. B STAC5 Hardware manual 4/22/2011 Connecting an Encoder (Requires the Encoder Feedback option) The motors recommended for use with STAC5 drives are available with rear-shaft mounted encoders. Note: remember to always order a double-shaft motor if you need an encoder option. The mating cables available for these encoders come with an HD-15 connector on one end that connects directly to the optional encoder connector on the STAC5, and a mating connector on the other end that connects directly to the encoder.

920-0026 Rev. B STAC5 Hardware manual 4/22/2011 Motor Heating Step motors convert electrical power from the driver into mechanical power to move a load. Because step motors are not perfectly effi- cient, some of the electrical power turns into heat on its way through the motor. This heating is not so much dependent on the load being driven but rather the motor speed and power supply voltage.
920-0026 Rev. B STAC5 Hardware manual 4/22/2011 Mounting the Drive Use #6 screws to mount your drive. If possible, the drive should be securely fastened to a smooth, flat metal surface that will help conduct heat away from the chassis. If this is not possible, then forced airflow from a fan may be required to prevent the drive from overheating. • Never use your drive in a space where there is no air flow or where other devices cause the surrounding air to be more than 40°C.
