2 Getting Started
The following items are needed:
• a 12 - 70 Volt DC power supply, see the section below entitled “Choosing a Power Supply” for
help in choosing the right one
• a small at blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included)
• a PC running Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 or 8
• an Applied Motion Products programming cable for RS-232 interface and another cable for
CANopen daisy-chain(both included with TSM23C, CANopen converters are available from
Applied Motion Products)
2.1 Installing Software
Before utilizing the TSM23C Integrated Step-Servo Motor and Step-Servo Quick Tuner Software in
an application, the following steps are necessary:
• Install the Step-Servo Quick Tuner software from the Applied Motion Products website.
• Connect the drive to the PC using the programming cable.
• Connect the drive to the power supply. See instructions below.
• Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion Products.
• Apply power to the drive.
• The software will recognize the drive and display the model and rmware version. At this point,
it is ready for use.
2.2 Mounting the Hardware
As with any step motor, the TSM23C must be mounted so as to provide maximum heat sinking
and airow. Keep enough space around the Integrated Motor to allow for airow.
• Never use the drive where there is no airow or where other devices cause the
surrounding air to be more than 40°C (104°F).
• Never put the drive where it can get wet.
• Never use the drive where metal or other electrically conductive particles can
inltrate the drive.
• Always provide airow around the drive.

2.3 Choosing a Power Supply
The main considerations when choosing a power supply are the voltage and current requirements
for the application.
2.3.1 Voltage
The TSM23C 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. Higher voltages will give higher speed performance
but will cause the TSM23C to produce higher temperatures. Using power supplies with voltage
outputs that are near the drive maximum may signi cantly reduce the operational duty-cycle.
The extended range of operation can be as low as 10 VDC minimum to as high as 75 VDC
maximum. When operating below 18 VDC, the power supply input may require larger capacitance
to prevent under-voltage and internal-supply alarms. Current spikes may make supply readings
erratic. The supply input cannot go below 10 VDC for reliable operation. Absolute minimum power
supply input is 10 VDC. If the Input supply drops below 10 VDC the low voltage alarm will be
triggered. This will not fault the drive.
Absolute maximum power supply input is 75 VDC at which point an over-voltage alarm and fault
will occur. When using a power supply that is regulated and is near the drive maximum voltage
of 75 VDC, a voltage clamp may be required to prevent over-voltage when regeneration occurs.
When using an unregulated power supply, make sure the no-load voltage of the supply does not
exceed the drive’s maximum input voltage of 75 VDC.
2.3.2 Regeneration Clamp
If a regulated power supply is being used, there may be a problem with regeneration. When a
load decelerates rapidly from a high speed, some of the kinetic energy of the load is transferred
back to the power supply, possibly tripping the over-voltage protection of a regulated power
supply, causing it to shut down. This problem can be solved with the use of an Applied Motion
Products RC880 Regeneration Clamp. It is recommended that an RC880 initially be installed in an
application. If the “regen” LED on the RC880 never ashes, the clamp is not necessary.

TSM23C Hardware Manual
2.3.3 Current
The maximum supply currents required by the TSM23C are shown in the charts below at different
power supply voltage inputs. The TSM23C power supply current is lower than the winding currents
because it uses switching ampliers to convert 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 will be required from the power supply.
It is important to note that the current draw is signicantly different at higher speeds depending
on the torque load to the motor. Estimating how much current is necessary may require a good
analysis of the load the motor will encounter.

3 Installation/Connections
3.1 Connecting the Power Supply
Use 16 to 20-gauge wire to connect the TSM23C to a power supply. It contains an internal fuse
connected to the “+” terminal that is not user replaceable. If a user serviceable fuse is desired,
install a 6.3 amp fast acting fuse in line with the “+” power supply lead.
Be careful not to reverse the wires. Reversing the connection may open the internal
fuse on the drive and void the warranty.

MOONS' offers two matched power supplies for use with the TSM23C.
A 24VDC, 150W(P/N PS150A24) and a 48VDC 320W(P/N PS320A48).
These power supplies have current over load capability making them ideal for use.
(To use with a switch power supplier, a RC880 regen must be connected in system)
The RC880 regeneration clamp is for use where regeneration from the motor may cause damage
to the drive. In these cases the RC880 is connected between the drive and power supply and
absorbs regenerated energy.

3.2 Connecting the TSM23C Communications
Two standard 5-pin disconnectable crimp style connectors are used for the communications
interface of TSM23C, and both of them can be used for RS232 serial interface and CANopen
daisy-chain by different cable included with TSM23C.

The TSM23C is congured using a combination of rotary switches and an RS-232 serial link,
and then may be deployed on a distributed CANopen network. The RS-232 interface is used for
conguration, tuning, node ID setting and Q program downloading. The CANopen network should
be connected in a daisy-chain fashion, with a 120 ohm terminating resistor at each end of network.

Locate the TSM23C within 1.5 meters of the PC. Plug the DB9 connector of the communication
cable that came with the drive into the serial port of the PC. Plug the 5-pin crimp style connector
into one of the two appropriate connector on the TSM23C. Secure the cable to the PC with the
screws on the DB9 connector.
Note: If the PC does not have an RS-232 serial port, a USB Serial Converter will be needed.
You can contact Applied Motion Products to buy a USB to RS-232 converter.
The RS-232 circuitry does not have any extra electrical “hardening” and care should be taken
when connecting to the RS-232 port as hot plugging could result in circuit failure.

3.2.1 Node ID
Each node ID on a CANopen network must have a unique Node ID. The Node ID is congured
using a sixteen position switch in the front of the drive to set the lower four bits of the Node ID
while the upper three bits are congured by using Step-Servo Quick Tuner software. CANopen
Node IDs are seven bits long, with a range of 1 - 127, or 0x01 - 0x7F in hexadecimal notation.
Node ID 0x00 is reserved in accordance with the CiA 301 specication.
3.2.2 Setting the Bitrate
The CANopen network bitrate is set by the ten position switch in the front of the drive. The bit rate
must be the same for all nodes on the CANopen network. Any changes to the bit rate require
either a power cycle or a CANopen reset command to take effect.

3.3.3 X3/X4/X5/X6 Digital Input
X3/X4/X5/X6 input are optically Isolated Single-ended input. They can be used with sourcing or
sinking signals, 5 to 24 volts. This allows connection to PLCs, sensors, relays and mechanical
switches. Because the input circuits are isolated, they require a source of power. If you are
connecting to a PLC, you should be able to get power from the PLC power supply. If you are using
relays or mechanical switches, you will need a 5-24 V power supply.
What is COM?
“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 TSM23 drives, if
you are using sourcing (PNP) input signals, then you will want to connect COM to ground (power
supply -). If you are using sinking (NPN) signals, then COM must connect to power supply +.
Note: If current is owing into or out of an input, the logic state of that input is low or closed. If no
current is owing, or the input is not connected, the logic state is high or open.

The TSM23C uses red and green LEDs to indicate status. When the motor is enabled, the green
LED ashes slowly. When the green LED is solid, the motor is disabled. Errors are indicated by
combinations of red and green ashes as shown below. This feature can be disabled for certain
warnings but not for alarms. See software manual for information on how to do this and which
warnings may be masked.
