Requirements

To begin, make sure you have the following equipment:

▪ A small at blade screwdriver for conguring the DIP switches (included).
▪ DC Power Source, 12-48VDC
▪ For more detailed information, please download and read the STM17R Hardware Manual, available at www.applied-motion.com/support/manuals.

Step 1

Connect the drive to the DC power source. The STM17R will accept DC
power from 12-48VDC.

Per the diagram at the right, connect the red wire to the positive output
terminal on the power supply, typically marked V+, and the black wire to
the negative terminal, typically marked V-.

(Do not apply power until all connections to the drive have been made)

Connect input signals to the drive. STEP and
DIR are required, EN and OUT are optional.

▪ See the STM17R Hardware Manual for circuit

connection details and examples.

Step 3

Set the motor’s running current using switches 1 and 2.

▪ This is the percentage of full current that the motor will use when the shaft

is rotating.

Step 4

Set the motor’s idle current using switch 3.

▪ This is the percentage of running current that the motor will use when

the shaft is not rotating. Choose 90% for maximum holding torque or 50%
to reduce motor heating.

Step 5

Select the load-to-motor inertia ratio category using switch 7.

▪ This is the ratio of the effective load inertia to the motor’s own rotor inertia.

For high inertia loads choose 5-10X, and for low inertia loads choose 0-4X.
Setting the proper range for the load will improve motor smoothness.

Step 6

Select the desired step resolution (steps/rev) using switches 1-4, located on a
second block of 4 switches.

Step 8

Optionally, you can test motor operation by activating switch 4 to initiate a
self test move.

▪ The self test move continually rotates the motor forward and backward

2-1/2 revolutions.
