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 PC running Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 or 8
2.1 Installing Software
Before utilizing the TXM24C Integrated Motor and Step-Servo Quick Tuner Software in an
application, the following steps are necessary:
• Download and install the Step-Servo Quick Tuner software from Applied Motion Products
website.
• Connect the drive to the PC using the RS-232 programming cable.
• Connect the drive to the power supply. See instructions below.
• Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion Products...Step-Servo
Quick Tuner.
• 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 TXM24C 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 TXM24C 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 TXM24C to produce higher temperatures. Using power supplies with voltage
outputs that are near the drive maximum may signicantly 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.

TXM24C Hardware Manual
2.3.3 Current
The maximum supply currents required by the TXM24C are shown in the charts below at different
power supply voltage inputs. The TXM24C 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
To meeting the IP65 protection, a suitable mating connector should be chosen. We recommend
vendor Phoenix Contact that offers mating cable with perfect match to our motor.
You can also check information of recommended mating cable from Phoenix in Accessories
section.
3.1 Connecting the Power Supply
Use 16 to 20-gauge wire if you want to build cable by yourself. TXM24C 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.

3.2 Connecting the TXM24C Communications
The communications interface for the TXM24C is two standard 5-pin M12 connectors. The
TXM24C is congured by Step-Servo Quick Tuner with 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.

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.
The CANopen network should be connected in a daisy-chain fashion, with a 120 ohm terminating
resistor at each end of network.

3.2.1 Node ID
Each node ID on a CANopen network must have a unique Node
ID. The Node ID is 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 CiA301 specication.
3.2.2 Setting the Bitrate
The CANopen network bitrate is set by the Step-Servo Quick Tuner software. 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.

diagrams below show how to connect them to various commonly used devices like sensors, switches, relays, PLCs, etc.
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.
3.3.4 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 TXM24C 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 diagrams on the following pages show how to connect the inputs to various commonly used
devices.

3.3.5 Programmable Output
The TXM24C drives feature three optically isolated digital output
(Y1,Y2,Y3). This output can be set to automatically control a motor
brake, to signal a fault condition, to indicate when the motor is in
position or to provide an output frequency proportional to motor speed
(tach signal). Or the output can be turned on and off by program
instructions like Set Output (SO). The output can be used to drive
LEDs, relays and the inputs of other electronic devices like PLCs and
counters. Y1, Y2 and Y3 can only sink current. The YCOM terminal
must be tied to power supply (-)
