STF-D/IP 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 drives can be controlled by eSCL, Modbus/RTU or EtherNet/IP in real time. Motion profiles can also be programmed and stored in drives (Q Program) and then be triggered by SCL, Modbus/RTU or EtherNet/IP commands.
STF-D/IP 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-D/IP Hardware Manual 2 Getting Started The following items are needed: • A 12-48VDC power supply (24-48VDC power supply for STF05, and 24-70VDC power supply for STF10). Please read the section below entitled “Choosing a Power Supply” for help in choosing the right one.
STF-D/IP Hardware Manual 2.1 Installing Software Before utilizing the STF-D/IP drive in an application, the following steps are necessary: • Download and install the STF Configurator software. • Connect the drive to PC directly, and configure the computer to use IP address 10.10.10.11 (For instructions on connecting your STF drive to a local area network (LAN), please read the section”...
STF-D/IP Hardware Manual 2.2 Connect the drive to PC using Ethernet Dual port RJ-45 connectors of the STF-D/IP Drive accept standard Ethernet cables and are categorized as 100BASE-TX(100 Mb/s) ports. CAT5 or CAT5e (or higher) cables should be used. Connecting the drive to PC requires three steps: •...

STF-D/IP Hardware Manual 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” or “static” depending on how the administrator has configured DHCP. The DHCP setting is reserved for advanced users.

STF-D/IP Hardware Manual Option 1: Connect a Drive to Your Local Area Network If you have a spare port on a switch or router and if you are able to set your drive to an IP address that is compatible with your network, and not used by anything else, this is a simple way to get connected.

STF-D/IP Hardware Manual Using DCHP If you want to use your drive on a network where all or most of the devices use dynamic IP addresses supplied by a DHCP server, set the rotary switch to “F”. When the drive is connected to the network and powered on, it will obtain an IP address and a subnet mask from the server that is compatible with your PC.

STF-D/IP Hardware Manual Option 2: Connect a Drive Directly to Your PC It doesn’t get much simpler than this: 1. Connect one end of a CAT5 Ethernet cable into the LAN card (NIC) on your PC and the other into the drive. You don’t need a special “crossover cable”;...

STF-D/IP Hardware Manual Option 3: Use Two Network Interface Cards (NICs) This technique allows you to keep your PC connected to your LAN, but keeps the drive off the LAN, prevent¬ing possible IP conflicts or excessive traffic. 1. 1. If you use a desktop PC and have a spare card slot, install a second NIC and connect it directly to the drive using a CAT5 cable.
