• Relevant software applications, as outlined below. All software is available as a free download from http://www.applied-motion.com/products/software. If you’ve never used an ST 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.

192.168.0.140 DHCP Settings 1 through E can be changed using the ST Configurator software (use Quick Tuner for servo drives). Setting 0 is always “10.10.10.10”, the universal recovery address. If someone were to change the other settings and not write it down or tell anyone (I’m not naming names here, but you know who I’m talking about) then you will not be able to communicate with your drive.

The UDP eSCL port in our drives is 7775. To send and receive commands using TCP, use port number 7776. You’ll need to know this when you begin to write your own application.

920-0004 Rev. D ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, -IP Hardware manual 12/20/12 Once you’ve chosen an appropriate IP address for your drive, set the rotary switch according the address table above. If none of the default addresses are acceptable for your network, you can enter a new table of IP addresses using Configurator.
920-0004 Rev. D ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, IP Hardware manual 12/20/12 manual: “Using DHCP”. 5. If the option “Use the following IP address” is selected, life is good. Change the subnet mask to “255.255.0.0” and click OK. Using DCHP 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”.
920-0004 Rev. D ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, -IP Hardware manual 12/20/12 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.

920-0004 Rev. D ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, -IP Hardware manual 12/20/12 NIC1 NIC2 DRIVE 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, prevent- ing possible IP conflicts or excessive traffic. 1.
The ST drives can be used with either two wire or four wire RS-485 implementations. The connection can be point to point (i.e. one drive and one host) or a multi-drop network (one host and up to 32 drives).
This adjustment can be made over the network using the TD command, or it can be set using the ST Configurator software. It is not necessary to set the transmit delay in a four wire system.

You can use the numer- als 0..9 or the special characters ! “ # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ . Just make sure that each drive on your network has a unique address.
Connect the motor power supply “+” terminal to the driver terminal labeled “V+”. Connect power supply “-” to the drive terminal labeled “V-”. Use 18 or 20 gauge wire. The ST drives contain an internal fuse that connects to the power supply + terminal. This fuse is not user replaceable. If you want to install a user servicable fuse in your system install a fast acting fuse in line with the + power supply lead.

If you are using a non-Applied Motion Products motor, do not connect it until you have configured the drive for that motor. lead Four lead motors can only be connected one way.

920-0004 Rev. D ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, IP Hardware manual 12/20/12 Interfacing to a Motion Controller In some applications, servo control is provided by a motion controller and the drive simply obeys a velocity or torque command. The industry standard for this command signal is ±10V. In most cases, the encoder signals from the motor must feed back to the controller.
ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, -IP Hardware manual 12/20/12 Connecting Input Signals The ST drives have three types of inputs: • high speed digital inputs for step & direction commands or encoder following, 5 volt logic • digital inputs for other signals, 12 - 24 volt logic •...

“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 ST drives, if you are using sourcing (PNP) input signals, then you will want to connect COM to ground (power sup- ply -).

Connecting Limit Switches The CWLIMIT and CCWLIMIT inputs are used for connecting end of travel sensors. These inputs are differential, which allows you to use signals that are sinking (NPN), sourcing (PNP) or differen- tial (line driver).

You can use normally open or normally closed limit switches. Either way, wire them as shown here. Be sure to set the polarity using the Si Programmer™ for Si™ drives or the ST Configurator™ software for the ST5-Q, ST10-Q, ST5-C and ST10-C.
ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, -IP Hardware manual 12/20/12 Analog Inputs inside drive The ST drives feature two analog inputs. Each input can accept a signal range of 0 to 5 VDC, ±5 VDC, 0 to 10 VDC or ±10 VDC. Signal AIN1 Conditioning The drive can be configured to operate at a speed or position that is proportional to the analog signal.
ST5/10-Si,-Q,-C, IP Hardware manual 12/20/12 Programmable Outputs IN/OUT1 The ST drives feature four digital outputs. These outputs can be set to automically control a motor brake, to signal a fault YCOM condition, to indicate when the motor is moving or to provide an output frequency proportional to motor speed (tach signal).
That’s because the ST drives use switching amplifiers, converting a high voltage and low current into lower voltage and higher current. The more the power supply voltage exceeds the motor voltage, the less current you’ll need from the power supply.
