• Operates in velocity or position mode • Accepts analog signals, digital signals, and Ethernet commands • Accept incremental encoder feedback signal. Single-ended or Differential. (Optional) • MSSTAC5-2V provides motor current up to 2.55 amps/phase (peak of sine) • Communications: Ethernet •...
• A CAT5 Ethernet cable (not included). Installing Software If you’ve never used a MSSTAC5 drive before you’ll need to get familiar with the drive and the set up software before you try to deploy the system in your application. We strongly recommend the following: 1.
STAC5 Ethernet Hardware Manual 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. Addresses, Subnets, and Ports Every device on an Ethernet network must have a unique IP address.
STAC5 Ethernet Hardware Manual depending on how the administrator has configured DHCP. The DHCP setting is reserved for ad- vanced users. Your PC, or any other device that you use to communicate with the drive, will also have a unique address.

STAC5 Ethernet Hardware Manual 192.168.0, the most common subnet, you will want to choose an address from switch settings 4 through E. Another common subnet is 192.168.1. If your network uses addresses in this range, the compatible default selections are 1, 2 and 3. If your PC address is not in one of the above private subnets, you will have to change your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 in order to talk to your drive.

STAC5 Ethernet Hardware Manual Using DHCP If you want to use your drive on a network that 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.
STAC5 Ethernet 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.
STAC5 Ethernet 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, preventing possible IP conflicts or excessive traffic. 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.
In regions where the single-phase supply is higher, an auto transformer can be used to drop the voltage to the correct level. Fusing The MSSTAC5-2V contains an internal 6.3A fast acting fuse. If an external fuse is desired, we recommend a 3A fast acting fuse for the MSSTAC5. Line Filter For applications requiring CE EMC compliance, a line filter is required in series with the AC input.
(next to the A+terminal ) The recommended MOONS’ motors for the MSSTAC5 include shielded cables. See the Recommended Motors section for a list of part numbers. We can’t stress enough the wisdom in using one of the recommended motors. We’re not just...
ST Configurator or the drive will think you have a broken encoder wire. That’s another good reason to use a differential encoder, the MSSTAC5 can detect a broken wire or bad signal and alert you to the problem.
Notes: I/O functions are configured using ST Configurator software and/or SCL commands. Connecting Input Signals The MSSTAC5 drives have four types of inputs. • High speed digital inputs for step & direction commands or encoder following, 5-24 volt logic. These inputs, X1/STEP and X2/DIR are available on all models. They can also be used to connect sensors and other types of devices.
This connector is standard on -Q models. High Speed Digital Inputs inside drive All MSSTAC5 drives include two high speed inputs called X1/ X1/STEP+ STEP and X2/DIR. They accept 5-24 volt single-ended or X1/STEP differential signals, up to 2 MHz. Normally these inputs connect to an external controller that provides step &...

STAC5 Ethernet Hardware Manual Lower Speed, Differential Digital Inputs -Q models include four additional differential inputs on the IN/OUT2 (OPT2) connector called IN1, IN2, IN7 and IN8. IN1 and IN2 can be used for connection to sensors and other devices. IN7 and IN8 are normally used for end of travel limit switches, but can be used for registration sensors, etc.
“Common” is an electronics term for an electrical connection to a common voltage. Sometimes “common” means the same thing as “ground”, but not always. In the case of the MSSTAC5 drives, if you are using sourcing (PNP) input signals, then you will want to connect COM to ground (power supply -).
Connecting an NPN Proximilty Sensor to Low Speed Differential Inputs Analog Input The MSSTAC5 drives feature one analog input. It can accept a signal range of 0 to 5 VDC, ±5 VDC, 0 to 10 VDC or ±10 inside drive +5V OUT VDC.
Y1/FAULT- provide an output frequency proportional to motor speed (tach out). Or the outputs can be turned on and off by program instructions like Set Output. MSSTAC5-Q drives include four additional programmable outputs. IN/OUT 2 The outputs can be used to drive LEDs, relays and the inputs of OUT1 other electronic devices like PLCs and counters.

• Never put the drive where it can get wet or where metal or other electrically conductive par- ticles can get on the circuitry. • Always provide air flow around the drive. When mounting multiple MSSTAC5 drives near each other, maintain at least one half inch of space between drives.
