STAC5 Ethernet Hardware Manual

Getting Started

This manual describes the use of all 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:
• 94-265VAC power.
• a compatible step motor
• a small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
• a personal computer running Microsoft Windows XP, or Windows 7
• 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. For -S drives, download and install the ST Configurator software

Rotary Switch
2. Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs...MOONS'...ST Configurator.
• RS232 Baud Rate
Status LED
3. Connect the drive to your PC using Ethernet and set the IP address
4. Connect the drive to the motor (see Connecting the Motor).
DB-15 Connector
• 4 digital inputs
• 2 digital outputs
5. Connect the drive to the AC power (see Connecting AC Power).
