Mounting the Drive
You can mount your drive on the wide or the narrow side of the chassis using #6 screws. If
possible, the drive should be securely fastened to a smooth, at metal surface that will help
conduct heat away from the chassis. If this is not possible, then forced airow from a fan may be
required to prevent the drive from overheating. See “Drive Heating” for more details.
• Never use your drive in a space where there is no air ow or where other devices
cause the surrounding air to be more than 50°C.
• Never put the drive where it can get wet or where metal or other electrically conductive particles can get on the circuitry.
• Always provide air ow around the drive. When mounting multiple drives near
each other, maintain at least one half inch of space between drives.
Connecting the Power Supply
If you need information about choosing a power supply, please read the section
Power Supply
• Connect the power supply “+” terminal to the connector terminal labeled “V+”.
• Connect power supply “-” to the connector terminal labeled “V-”.
• e green ground screw on the corner of the chassis should be connected to earth ground.
• Use 18 or 20 gauge wire.
e STR drives contain an internal fuse that connects to the power supply + terminal. is fuse
is not user replaceable. If you want to install a user serviceable fuse in your system install a fast
acting 3 amp fuse in line with the + power supply lead.

If you plan to use a regulated power supply you may encounter a problem with regeneration.
If you rapidly decelerate a load from a high speed, much of the kinetic energy of that load is
transferred back to the power supply. is can trip the overvoltage protection of a switching
power supply, causing it to shut down. We oer the RC-050 “regeneration clamp” to solve this
problem. If in doubt, buy an RC-050 for your rst installation. If the “regen” LED on the RC-050
never ashes, you don’t need the clamp.

Choosing a Power Supply
When choosing a power supply, there are many things to consider. If you are manufacturing
equipment that will be sold to others, you probably want a supply with all the safety agency
approvals. If size and weight are an issue get a switching supply.
And you must decide what size of power supply (in terms of voltage and current) is needed for
your application.
Applied Motion oers three powers supplies that are excellent matches for the STR2 drive:
PS50A24 (24V, 2.1A), PS150A24 (24V, 6.3A) and PS320A48 (48V, 6.7A).
Voltage
Your motor can provide more torque at higher speeds if a higher power supply voltage is used.
Please consult the speed-torque curves later in this manual for guidance.
If you choose an unregulated power supply, make sure the no load voltage of the supply does
not exceed the drive’s maximum input voltage specication.
Current
e maximum supply current you could ever need is two times the motor current. However,
you will generally need a lot less than that, depending on the motor type, voltage, speed and
load conditions. at’s because the STR uses a switching amplier, converting a high voltage
and low current into lower voltage and higher current. e more the power supply voltage exceeds the motor voltage, the less current you’ll need from the power supply. A motor running
from a 48 volt supply can be expected to draw only half the supply current that it would with a
24 volt supply.
We recommend the following selection procedure:
1. If you plan to use only a few drives, get a power supply with at least twice “per
phase” current rating of the step motor. Example: for a motor that’s rated for 2 A/phase use a 4
A power supply..
2. If you are designing for mass production and must minimize cost, get one power
supply with more than twice the rated current of the motor. Install the motor in the application
and monitor the current coming out of the power supply and into the drive at various motor
loads. is will tell you how much current you really need so you can design in a lower cost

power supply.
e tables below and on the net page list the maximum current required for each motor at several common power supply voltages. Please consider this information when choosing a power
supply.
You can use one supply to power multiple drives. e worst case condition occurs when all the
drives are running simultaneously. In this case, just add up the power supply currents for each to
determine the total power supply current requirement.

Regeneration
If you plan to use a regulated power supply you may encounter a problem with regeneration.
If you rapidly decelerate a load from a high speed, much of the kinetic energy of that load is
transferred back to the power supply. is can trip the overvoltage protection of a switching
power supply, causing it to shut down. Unregulated power supplies are beer because they
generally do not have overvoltage protection and have large capacitors for storing energy
coming back from the drive. ey are also less expensive. See previous section on
the Power Supply
for details on the RC-050 regeneration clamp.

System Wiring Recommendations
1. Separate the DC power supply cable by at least 2” from the small signal input cable and the
encoder feedback cable.
2. A shielded cable for the DC power supply connections will result in a quieter system.
Ground the shield at the power supply.
3. A shielded cable is recommended for the small signal connections. Ground the shield at
the signal source.

Conguring the Drive
Step 1: Selecting a Motor and Seing the Current
e STR2 is optimized for use with carefully selected motors. To select a motor, simply move
switches B1, B2 and B3 to the seing that corresponds to the motor of your choice. You can do
this while power is on, but it is safer to select the motor before applying power to the drive so
that you do not risk applying too much current to your motor.

Step 2: Fine Tuning the Motor Current
e maximum current for the motor you have selected was set automatically when you selected
the motor in Step1. But you may want to reduce the current to save power or lower motor
temperature. is is important if the motor is not mounted to a surface that will help it dissipate
heat or if the ambient temperature is expected to be high.
Step motors produce torque in direct proportion to current, but the amount of heat generated
is roughly proportional to the square of the current. If you operate the motor at 90% of rated
current, you’ll get 90% of the rated torque. But the motor will produce approximately 81% as
much heat. At 70% current, the torque is reduced to 70% and the heating to about 50%.
Switches A4 and A5 on the front of the STR2 drive are used to set the percent of rated current
that will be applied to the motor. Please set them according to the illustration below.
STR2 Hardware Manual
Step 3: Seing Idle Current
Motor heating and power consumption can also be reduced by lowering the motor current
when it is not moving. e STR2 will automatically lower the motor current when it is idle to
either 50% or 90% of the running current. e 50% idle current seing will lower the holding
torque to 50%, which is enough to prevent the load from moving in most applications. is
reduces motor heating by 75%. In some applications, such as those supporting a vertical load, it
is necessary to provide a high holding torque. In such cases, the idle current can be set to 90%
as shown below. e idle current switch is located in switch bank A, on the front of the STR2.

STR2 Hardware Manual
Step 4: Load Inertia
e STR drives include anti-resonance and electronic damping features which greatly improve
motor performance. To perform optimally, the drive must understand the electromechanical
characteristics of the motor and load. Most of this is done automatically when you select the
motor using switches B1, B2 and B3. To further enhance performance, you must set switch B4
to indicate the approximate inertia ratio of the load and motor. e ranges are 0 to 4X and 5 to
10X. e motors table shown in Step 1 of this section include the rotor inertia of each motor.
Please divide the load inertia by the rotor inertia to determine the ratio, then set switch B4 as
shown. For assistance in calculating the load inertia of your application contact our Applications
department.
1/30/2014
4
5-10X
Step 5: Step Size
e STR2 requires a source of step pulses to command motion. is may be a PLC, an indexer,
a motion controller or another type of device. e only requirement is that the device be able
to produce step pulses whose frequency is in proportion to the desired motor speed, and be
able to smoothly ramp the step speed up and down to produce smooth motor acceleration
and deceleration.
Smaller step sizes result in smoother motion and more precise speed, but also require a
higher step pulse frequency to achieve maximum speed. e smallest step size of the STR2 is
1/20,000th of a motor turn. To command a motor speed of 50 revolutions per second (3000
rpm) the step pulses frequency must be 50 x 20,000 = 1 MHz. Many motion devices, especially
PLCs cannot provide step pulses at such a high speed. If so, the drive must be set for a lower
number of steps per revolution. Six dierent seings are provided in the STR2 drive, as shown
in the table on the next page.

0-4X

Page 20
920-0059B
1/30/2014
Please choose the one that best matches the capability of your system.
At lower step resolutions such as 200 steps/ rev (full step) and 400 steps/rev (half step), motors
run a lile rough and produce more audible noise than when they are microstepped (2000
steps/rev and beyond). e STR drives include a feature called “microstep emulation”, also
called “step smoothing”, that can provide smooth motion from coarse command signals. By
selecting “200 smooth” or “400 smooth”, this feature is automatically employed to provide the
smoothest possible motion from a less than ideal signal source.
Because a command lter is used as part of the step smoothing process, there will be a slight
delay, or “lag” in the motion. If this delay is objectionable for your application, please choose
the non-ltered seing “200” or “400”. e chart on the next page shows an example of the
delay that can occur from using the step smoothing lter.

Step 6: Step Pulse Type
Most indexers and motion controllers provide motion commands in the “Step and Direction”
format. e Step signal pulses once for each motor step and the direction signal commands
direction. However, a few PLCs use a dierent type of command signal: one signal pulses once
for each desired step in the clockwise direction (called STEP CW), while a second signal pulses
for counterclockwise motion (STEP CCW). e STR drives can accept this type of signal if you
remove the drive cover and move jumper S3 from the “1-2” position to the “1-3” position. In
STEP CW/STEP CCW mode, the CW signal should be connected to the STEP input and the
CCW signal to the DIR input.
Step & DirectionSTEP CW & STEP CCW

Step 7: Step Pulse Noise Filter
Just when you thought there couldn’t be any more to know about step signals, we present one
more seing for your consideration. Electrical noise can aect the STEP signal in a negative way,
causing the drive to think that one step pulse is two or more pulses. is results in extra motion
and inaccurate motor and load positioning. To combat this problem, the STR drives include
a digital noise lter on the STEP and DIR inputs. ere are two seings for this lter: 150 kHz
works well for most applications,. If you are operating the STR2 at a high number of steps/rev
and at high motor speeds, you will be commanding the drive at step rates above 150 kHz. In
such cases, you should use the 2 MHz seing as shown below. e step noise lter is controlled
by switch 4 of the small bank of switches.
Your maximum pulse rate will be the highest motor speed times the steps/rev. For example, 40
revs/second at 20,000 steps/rev is 40 x 20,000 = 800 kHz. Please consider this when deciding if
you must increase the lter frequency.

Motor Heating
Step motors convert electrical power from the driver into mechanical power to move a load.
Because step motors are not perfectly ecient, some of the electrical power turns into heat on
its way through the motor. is heating is not so much dependent on the load being driven but
rather the motor speed and power supply voltage. ere are certain combinations of speed
and voltage at which a motor cannot be continuously operated without damage.
We have characterized the recommended motors in our lab and provided a table and several curves showing the maximum duty cycle versus speed for each motor at commonly used
power supply voltages. Please refer to this information when planning your application.
Please also keep in mind that a step motor typically reaches maximum temperature aer 30 to
45 minutes of operation. If you run the motor for one minute then let it sit idle for one minute,
that is a 50% duty cycle. Five minutes on and ve minutes o is also 50% duty. However, one
hour on and one hour o has the eect of 100% duty because during the rst hour the motor
will reach full (and possibly excessive) temperature.

STR2 Hardware Manual
e actual temperature of the motor depends on how much heat is conducted, convected or
radiated out of it. Our measurements were made in a 40°C (104°F) environment with the motor
mounted to an aluminum plate sized to provide a surface area consistent with the motor power
dissipation. Your results may vary.

Drive Heating
While STR2 drivers eciently transmit power between the power supply and motor, they do
generate some heat in the process. is will cause the temperature of the drive to rise above
the surrounding air temperature and may also require that the drive be mounted to a heat
conducting metal surface.
For those who wish to calculate the power dissipation and temperature rise, the following information is provided:
1. drive power dissipation Pd versus motor current and power supply voltage (see chart)
2. drive thermal constant R
e nal drive case temperature is given by
Tc = Ta + RQ* P
d
where Ta is the ambient temperature of the surrounding air. e case of the drive should not
be allowed to exceed 70°C or the life of the product could be reduced.
Drive thermal constant:
Narrow side of drive mounted on a 13.5” x 13.5” steel plate, .070” thick: RQ =1.84°C/W
Narrow side of drive mounted on a non-heat conducting surface: RQ =3.99°C/W
