SSDC-EC Hardware Manual 2.5 Setting the EtherCAT Node ID SSDC-EC support three methods to set and read the EtherCAT Node ID(Alias ID): ×10 MSD ×1 LSD EtherCAT ID 2.5.1 Set by rotary switches When the drive’s ID is configured to be set by rotary switches in Step-Servo Quick Tuner software, two decimal rotary switches on the drive are used to set a nonzero value (range 1~99) as the EtherCAT node Alias ID.
2.6 Connecting the Power Supply The SSDC series StepSERVO drive and motor are shipped with a power cable, 2 meters long. Connect the red wire to the positive of the power supply. Connect the black wire to the negative of the power supply. Plug the cable into the power connector of the drive.
SSDC-EC Hardware Manual 2.7 Choosing a Power Supply The main considerations when choosing a power supply are the voltage and current requirements for the application. 2.7.1 Voltage The SSDC drive is designed to give optimum performance between 24 and 48 Volts DC. Choosing the voltage depends on the performance needed and motor/drive heating that is acceptable and/or does not cause a drive over-temperature.

SSDC-EC Hardware Manual 2.7.2 Supply Current The maximum supply currents required by the SSDC are shown in the charts below at different power supply voltage inputs. The SSDC power supply current is lower than the winding currents because it uses switching amplifiers to convert a high voltage and low current into lower voltage and higher current.
