ST5/10-S & Plus Hardware Manual 920-0027 Rev. F 2/22/2023 Getting Started This manual describes the use of four different drive models, ST5-S, ST10-S, ST5-Plus and ST10-Plus. To get started, you’ll need the following: • A 24-48 volt DC power supply. (24 - 80VDC for ST10 model). Please read the section entitled Choosing a Power Supply for help in choosing the right power supply.
ST5/10-S & Plus Hardware Manual 920-0027 Rev. F 2/22/2023 Connecting to the PC using RS-232 • Locate your computer within 8 feet of the drive. • Your drive was shipped with a communication cable. Plug the large end into the serial port of your PC and the small end into the jack on your drive.
ST5/10-S & Plus Hardware Manual 920-0027 Rev. F 2/22/2023 Connecting the Power Supply If you need information about choosing a power supply, please read Choosing a Power Supply located elsewhere in this manual. Connect the motor power supply “+” terminal to the drive terminal labeled “VDC”. Connect power supply “-” to the drive terminal labeled “GND”.
ST5/10-S & Plus Hardware manual 920-0027 Rev. F 2/22/2023 Connecting the Motor Never connect or disconnect the motor while the power is on. If you are using a non-Applied Motion Products motor, do not con- nect it until you have configured the drive for that motor. Four lead motors can only be connected one way. Please follow the lead sketch at the right.

ST5/10-S & Plus Hardware Manual 920-0027 Rev. F 2/22/2023 Connecting Input Signals The ST drives have three types of inputs: • High speed digital inputs -STEP & DIR- for step & direction commands, encoder following, run/stop & direction, or general purpose, 5 volt logic. • Quadrature signals from encoders can also be used. • Digital input for other signals, 5 -12 volt logic, including an enable (EN) . Digital signal for enabling the drive. • Analog input for analog speed adjustment - analog velocity 0-5V All drives include three digital inputs and one analog input.
ST5/10-S & Plus Hardware Manual 920-0027 Rev. F 2/22/2023 High Speed Digital Inputs (STEP, DIR) The -S drives include two high speed inputs labeled STEP and DIR. They accept 5 volt single-ended or differential signals, up to 2 MHz. STEP and DIR Inputs are configured using the ST Configurator software. The inputs can connect to an indexer, a master encoder or CNC handwheel for following applications, or they can be used for connecting sensors, switches and other electronic devices.

ST5/10-S & Plus Hardware Manual 920-0027 Rev. F 2/22/2023 Connecting Limit Switches For point to point SCL and HUB applications, the STEP input can be used as a clockwise end of travel limit and the DIR input can be used as the counterclockwise end of travel limit. If using SCL, you activate the limits using the SCL “DL” command, as described in the Host Command Reference manual. These inputs are differential, which allows you to use signals that are sinking (NPN), sourcing (PNP) or differential (line driver).
ST5/10-S & Plus Hardware Manual 920-0027 Rev. F 2/22/2023 Wiring a Limit Sensor Some systems use active limit sensors that produce a voltage output rather than a switch or relay closure. These devices must be wired differently than switches. If your sensor has an open collector output or a sinking output, wire it like this: for 24V logic R=2200 ohms for 12V logic, R=820 ohms STEP+...

ST5/10-S & Plus Hardware Manual 920-0027 Rev. F 2/22/2023 Choosing a Power Supply When choosing a power supply, there are many things to consider. If you are manufacturing equipment that will be sold to others, you probably want a supply with all the safety agency approvals. If size and weight are an issue use a switching supply.

Because step motors are not perfectly efficient, 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.

ST5/10-S & Plus Hardware Manual 920-0027 Rev. F 2/22/2023 Mounting the Drive You can mount your drive on the wide or the narrow side of the chassis using #6 screws. 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.
