STF-EC Hardware Manual 1 Introduction Thank you for selecting the MOONS’ STF series stepper drive. The STF series are high performance fieldbus control stepper drive which also integrates with built-in motion controller. The STF EtherCAT drive can operate as a standard EtherCAT slave using CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE).
STF-EC Hardware Manual 1.3 Safety Instructions Only qualified personnel should transport, assemble, install, operate, or maintain this equipment. Properly qualified personnel are persons who are familiar with the transport, assembly, installation, operation, and maintenance of motors, and who meet the appropriate qualifications for their jobs. To minimize the risk of potential safety problems, all applicable local and national codes regulating the installation and operation of equipment should be followed.
STF-EC Hardware Manual 2 Getting Started The following items are needed: • An appropriate power supply, see the section below entitled“Choose a Power Supply”for help in choosing the right one. • A compatible stepper motor, please see the section below entitled “Recommended Motor” •...

STF-EC Hardware Manual 2.2 Connect the drive to the PC with the RS-232 communication Cable Connector J3 is an RS-232 interface for connecting the drive to PC. Use the STF Configurator software to configure drive parameters, monitor the status of the drive, and perform motor motion test.
STF-EC Hardware Manual 2.4 Connecting the Power Supply Connect power supply “+” terminal to the drive terminal labeled “V+”. Connect power supply “-” terminal to the drive terminal labeled “V-”. STF03 accepts DC voltage range from 12 – 48VDC STF05 accepts DC voltage range from 24 – 48VDC STF06 accepts DC voltage range from 12 –...
STF-EC Hardware Manual 2.5 Choosing A Power Supply The main considerations when choosing a power supply are the voltage and current requirements of the application. 2.5.1 Voltage The STF drive and motor is designed to give optimum performance between 24~48 Volts DC. Choosing the voltage depends on the performance needed and diver/motor heating that acceptable and/or does not cause a drive over-temperature.
STF-EC Hardware Manual 2.6 Connecting the motor For MOONS’ stepper motor, Connect the motor cable’s black, green, red and blue wires respectively to the drive’s A+, A-, B+ and B-connections. A- B+ B- Motor Connector If using a non-MOONS’ motor, please refer to your motor specs for wiring information. 2.7 Connecting the EtherCAT Dual RJ-45 connectors accept standard Ethernet cables and are categorized as 100BASE-TX (100 Mb/sec) ports.
STF-EC Hardware Manual 2.8 Setting the EtherCAT Node ID STF-EC support three methods to set and read the EtherCAT Node ID(Alias ID): 2.8.1 Set by rotary switches When the drive’s ID is configured to be set by rotary switches in STF Configrator software, two decimal rotary switches on the drive are used to set a nonzero value (range 1~99) as the EtherCAT node Alias ID.
