STF-ECX-H 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 STF EtherCAT drive can operate as a standard EtherCAT slave using CANopen over EtherCAT(CoE).

STF-ECX-H Hardware Manual 2.2 Choosing a Power Supply The main considerations when choosing a power supply are the voltage and current requirements of the application. 2.2.1 Voltage The STF drive and motor is designed to give optimum performance between 24~48 Volts DC. Choosing the voltage depends on the performance needed and diver/motor heating that acceptable and/or does not cause a drive over-temperature.

STF-ECX-H Hardware Manual 2.2.2 Current When STF drives work with different motors, the recommended power supply output current capacity under different supply voltage is shown in below table. The STF drive power supply current is lower than the winding currents because it uses switching amplifiers to convert a high voltage and low current into low voltage and high current.

STF-ECX-H Hardware Manual 2.4 Connecting the EtherCAT Dual RJ-45 connectors accept standard Ethernet cables and are categorized as 100BASE-TX (100 Mb/sec) ports. CAT5 or CAT5e (or higher) cables should be used. The IN port connects to a master, or to the OUT port of an upstream node. The OUT port connects to a downstream node. If the drive is the last node on a network, only the IN port is used.

STF-ECX-H Hardware Manual 6 Accessories (Sold Separately) 6.1 RC-880 Regeneration Clamp ■ Model: RC880 RC-880 is used to limit increase in power supply voltage when the motor is decelerating under load. This is commonly referred to as "regeneration". RC-880 can clamp the regeneration and prevent the power supply and/or drive being damaged or destroyed. Connect the RC-880 between the power supply and the drive.
