STAC5 Hardware manual
Getting Started
This manual describes the use of four different drive models. What you need to know and what you must have depends on the drive
model. For all models, you’ll need the following:
• 120VAC or 220VAC power.
• a compatible step motor (see page 25)
• a small at blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
• a personal computer running Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, NT, Me, XP, Vista or 7 with an Ethernet port.
• A CAT5 Ethernet cable (not included).
If you’ve never used a STAC5 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. For -S and -IP drives, download and install the STAC Configurator™ software application from www.applied-motion.com/software. For -Q drives, download and install the STAC Configurator™ and Q Programmer™
2. Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion...
3. Connect the drive to your PC using Ethernet and set the IP address (see Connecting to the PC).
4. Connect the drive to the AC power (see Connecting AC Power).
5. Connect the drive to the motor (see Connecting the Motor).
6. Apply power to the drive.
7. Set the IP address of the software to match the drive.
The connectors and other points of interest are illustrated below. Depending on your drive model and application, you’ll need to make
connections to various parts of the drive. These are detailed later in the manual.

Connecting the Drive to Your PC using Ethernet
This process requires three steps
• Physically connect the drive to your network (or directly to the PC)
• Set the drive’s IP address
• Set the appropriate networking properties on your PC.
Note: the following pages are an excerpt from the “eSCL Communication Reference Guide”. For more information, please read the rest of
the guide.
Addresses, Subnets, and Ports
Every device on an Ethernet network must have a unique IP address. In order for two devices to communicate with each other, they must
both be connected to the network and they must have IP addresses that are on the same subnet. A subnet is a logical division of a larger
network. Members of one subnet are generally not able to communicate with members of another unless they are connected through
special network equipment (e.g. router). Subnets are defined by the choices of IP addresses and subnet masks.
If you want to know the IP address and subnet mask of your PC, select Start…All Programs…Accessories…Command Prompt. Then
type “ipconfig” and press Enter. You should see something like this:
If your PC’s subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, a common setting
known as a Class C subnet mask, then your machine can only talk to
another network device whose IP address matches yours in the first three
octets. (The numbers between the dots in an IP address are called octets.)
For example, if your PC is on a Class C subnet and has an IP address
of 192.168.0.20, it can talk to a device at 192.168.0.40, but not one at
192.168.1.40. If you change your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 (Class B)
you can talk to any device whose first two octets match yours. Be sure
to ask your system administrator before doing this. You network may be
segmented for a reason.
Your drive includes a 16 position rotary switch for setting its IP address.
The factory default address for each switch setting is shown in the table to
the right.
Settings 1 through E can be changed using the STAC 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 only way to “recover” it is to use the universal
recovery address.
Setting F is “DHCP”, which commands the drive to get an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. The IP address automatically
assigned by the DHCP server may be “dynamic” or “static” depending on how the administrator has configured DHCP. The DHCP setting
is reserved for advanced users.
Your PC, or any other device that you use to communicate with the drive, will also have a unique address.
On the drive, switch settings 1 through E use the standard class B subnet mask (i.e. “255.255.0.0”). The mask for the universal recovery
address is the standard class A (i.e. “255.0.0.0”).
One of the great features of Ethernet is the ability for many applications to share the network at the same time. Ports are used to direct
traffic to the right application once it gets to the right IP address. 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. You will also need to
choose an open (unused) port number for your application. Our drive doesn’t care what that is; when the first command is sent to the
drive, the drive will make note of the IP address and port number from which it originated and direct any responses there. The drive will
also refuse any traffic from other IP addresses that is headed for the eSCL port. The first application to talk to a drive “owns” the drive.
This lock is only reset when the drive powers down.
STAC5 Hardware manual
If you need help choosing a port number for your application, you can nd a list of commonly used port numbers at http://www.iana.org/
assignments/port-numbers.
One final note: Ethernet communication can use one or both of two “transport protocols”: UDP and TCP. eSCL commands can be sent
and received using either protocol. UDP is simpler and more efficient than TCP, but TCP is more reliable on large or very busy networks
where UDP packets might occasionally be dropped.
Option 1: Connect a Drive to Your Local Area Network
If you have a spare port on a switch or router and if you are able to set your drive to an IP address that is compatible with your network,
and not used by anything else, this is a simple way to get connected. This technique also allows you to connect multiple drives to your
PC. If you are on a corporate network, please check with your system administrator before connecting anything new to the network. He
or she should be able assign you a suitable address and help you get going.

or
ROUTER
If you are not sure which addresses are already used on your network, you can find out using “Angry IP scanner”, which can be down-
loaded free from http://www.angryip.org/w/Download. But be careful: an address might appear to be unused because a computer or
other device is currently turned off. And many networks use dynamic addressing where a DHCP server assigns addresses “on demand”.
The address you choose for your drive might get assigned to something else by the DHCP server at another time.
Once you’ve chosen an appropriate IP address for your drive, set the rotary switch according the address table above. If none of the
8

STAC5 Hardware manual
default addresses are acceptable for your network, you can enter a new table of IP addresses using Configurator. If your network uses addresses starting with 192.168.0, the most common subnet, you will want to choose an address from switch settings 4 through E. Another
common subnet is 192.168.1. If your network uses addresses in this range, the compatible default selections are 1, 2 and 3.
If your PC address is not in one of the above private subnets, you will have to change your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 in order to talk to
your drive. To change your subnet mask:
1. On Windows XP, right click on “My Network Places” and select properties. On Windows 7, click Computer. Scroll down the left
pane until you see “Network”. Right click and select properties. Select “Change adapter settings”
2. You should see an icon for your network interface card (NIC). Right click and select properties.
3. Scroll down until you see “Internet Properties (TCP/IP)”. Select this item and click the Properties button. On Windows 7 and Vista,
look for “(TCP/IPv4)”
4. If the option “Obtain an IP address automatically” is selected, your PC is getting an IP address and a subnet mask from the DHCP
server. Please cancel this dialog and proceed to the next section of this 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.
4/22/2011
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”. When the drive is connected to the network and powered on, it will obtain an IP address and a subnet mask from
the server that is compatible with your PC. The only catch is that you won’t know what address the server assigns to your drive. Ethernet
Configurator can find your drive using the
Drive Discovery feature, as long as your
network isn’t too large. With the drive connected to the network and powered on, select
Drive Discovery from the Drive menu.
You will see a dialog such as this:
Normally, Drive Discovery will only detect
one network interface card (NIC), and will
select it automatically. If you are using a
laptop and have both wireless and wired network connections, a second NIC may appear.
Please select the NIC that you use to connect
9
920-0026 Rev. B
4/22/2011
to the network to which you’ve connected your drive. Then click OK. Drive Discovery will notify you as soon as it has detected a drive.
If you think this is the correct drive, click Yes. If you’re not sure, click Not Sure and Drive Discovery will look for additional drives on you
network. Once you’ve told Drive Discovery which drive is yours, it will automatically enter that drive’s IP address in the IP address text
box so that you are ready to communicate.
STAC5 Hardware manual
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. You don’t need a special
“crossover cable”; the drive will automatically detect the direct connection and make the necessary physical layer changes.
2. Set the IP address on the drive to “10.10.10.10” by setting the rotary switch at “0”.
3. To set the IP address of your PC:
a. On Windows XP, right click on “My Network Places” and select properties.
b. On Windows 7, click Computer. Scroll down the left pane until you see “Network”. Right click and select properties. Select
“Change adapter settings”
4. You should see an icon for your network interface card (NIC). Right click and select properties.
a. Scroll down until you see “Internet Properties (TCP/IP)”. Select this item and click the Properties button.
b. On Windows 7 and Vista, look for “(TCP/IPv4)”
10
920-0026 Rev. B
STAC5 Hardware manual
5. Select the option “Use the following IP address”. Then enter the address “10.10.10.11”. This will give your PC an IP address that is
on the same subnet as the drive. Windows will know to direct any traffic intended for the drive’s IP address to this interface card.
6. Next, enter the subnet mask as “255.255.255.0”.
7. Be sure to leave “Default gateway” blank. This will prevent your PC from looking for a router on this subnet.
8. Because you are connected directly to the drive, anytime the drive is not powered on your PC will annoy you with a small message
bubble in the corner of your screen saying “The network cable is unplugged.”
4/22/2011
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, preventing possible IP conicts or
excessive traffic.
1. If you use a desktop PC and have a spare card slot, install a second NIC and connect it directly to the drive using a CAT5 cable. You
don’t need a special “crossover cable”; the drive will automatically detect the direct connection and make the necessary physical
layer changes.
2. If you use a laptop and only connect to your LAN using wireless networking, you can use the built-in RJ45 Ethernet connection as
your second NIC.
3. Set the IP address on the drive to “10.10.10.10” by setting the rotary switch at “0”.
4. To set the IP address of the second NIC:
a. On Windows XP, right click on “My Network Places” and select properties.
b. On Windows 7, click Computer. Scroll down the left pane until you see “Network”. Right click and select properties. Select
“Change adapter settings”
5. You should see an icon for your newly instated NIC. Right click again and select properties.
a. Scroll down until you see “Internet Properties (TCP/IP)”. Select this item and click the Properties button.
b. On Windows 7 and Vista, look for “(TCP/IPv4)”
6. Select the option “Use the following IP address”. Then enter the address “10.10.10.11”. This will give your PC an IP address that is
on the same subnet as the drive. Windows will know to direct any traffic intended for the drive’s IP address to this interface card.
7. Next, enter the subnet mask as “255.255.255.0”. Be sure to leave “Default gateway” blank. This will prevent your PC from looking
for a router on this subnet.
8. Because you are connected directly to the drive, anytime the drive is not powered on your PC will annoy you with a small message
bubble in the corner of your screen saying “The network cable is unplugged.”

Connecting the Motor
Never connect or disconnect the motor while the power is on.
Note: it is highly recommended that you use a motor with a shielded cable with the STAC5. Always connect the
cable drain wire to the drive’s
The recommended Applied Motion motors for the STAC5 include shielded cables. See the Recommended Motors section for a list of
part numbers. The recommended motors should be connected to 120V drives in parallel, and to 220V drives in series, according to the
diagram below.
Be sure to connect the cable shield for safety and to minimize electrical interference.

Connecting Other Motors
We can’t stress enough the wisdom in using one of the recommended motors. We’re not just trying to make money here, we want your
application to be successful and the odds of that are highest when you have a high quality motor whose torque, rotor inertia and harmonic waveform content are precisely known. Furthermore, our motors include shielded cables to reduce electrical emissions. If you do want
to connect other motors , here is some information that will help

Six lead motors can be connected in series or center tap. In series mode, motors produce more torque at low speeds, but cannot run as
fast as in the center tap configuration. In series operation, the motor should be operated at 30% less than the rated current to prevent
overheating. Winding diagrams for both connection methods are shown below. NC means not connected.

Connecting an Encoder (Requires the Encoder Feedback option)
The motors recommended for use with STAC5 drives are available with rear-shaft mounted encoders. Note: remember to always order
a double-shaft motor if you need an encoder option. The mating cables available for these encoders come with an HD-15 connector on
one end that connects directly to the optional encoder connector on the STAC5, and a mating connector on the other end that connects
directly to the encoder. Simply connect the cable between the encoder and the drive and you’re done. For applications where you might
use your own encoder, you’ll need to connect to the STAC5 drive’s encoder connector using the pin assignments below.
If you are using an encoder with single ended outputs, shame on you. Differential connections are far less sensitve to electrical interference and life is too short to waste time deciphering the bizarre problems that can occur with a poor quality encoder. That said, single
ended encoders should be connected to the A+ and B+ terminals. Leave A- and B- unconnected. They are internally biased to the proper
voltage for best results. You’ll also need to select the “single ended” box in the encoder button of STAC Configurator™ or the drive will
think you have a broken encoder wire. That’s another good reason to use a differential encoder, the STAC5 can detect a broken wire or bad
signal and alert you to the problem.
The encoder connections use a HD-15 connector, which you must connect to your encoder as shown below. Recommended mating connectors are listed at the back of the manual.

Connecting Input Signals
The STAC5 drives have four types of inputs.
• High speed digital inputs for step & direction commands or encoder following, 5-24 volt logic. These inputs, X1/STEP and X2/DIR are
available on all models. They can also be used to connect sensors and other types of devices. The connection can be sourcing, sinking
or differential.
• Lower speed digital inputs for other signals, 5 - 24 volt logic, accepting sourcing, sinking of differential signals. All drives contains
at least two of these inputs: X3/EN and X4. -Q and -IP models include four additional lower speed, differential inputs, IN1, IN2, IN7 and
IN8.
• 12-24V lower speed single ended inputs which accept sourcing or sinking inputs. These four inputs, IN3-IN6 are only present on -Q
models.
• Analog input for analog speed and positioning modes, included on all drives. Can be congured for 0-10V, 0-5V, ±10V or ±5V, with or
All STAC5 drives include two high speed inputs called STEP and DIR. They accept 5-24 volt
single-ended or differential signals, up to 2 MHz. Normally these inputs connect to an external
controller that provides step & direction command signals. You can also connect a master
encoder to the high speed inputs for following applications. Or you can use these inputs with
Wait Input, If Input, Feed to Sensor, Seek Home and other such commands.

Single Ended Digital Inputs
-Q and -IP drives include four single ended, optically isolated input circuits
The
that can be used with sourcing or sinking signals, 12 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 12-24 V power supply.
This also applies if you are connecting the inputs to the programmable outputs
of an Si product from Applied Motion.

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 STAC5 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 flowing into or out of an input, the logic state of that input is low or closed. If no current is flowing, 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.

Programmable Outputs
The STAC5-S drives feature two digital outputs. These outputs can be set to automatically control a motor brake, to signal a fault condition, to indicate when the motor is moving or to provide
an output frequency proportional to motor speed (tach signal). Or the outputs can be turned
on and off by program instructions like Set Output. -Q and -IP drives include four additional
programmable outputs.
The outputs can be used to drive LEDs, relays and the inputs of other electronic devices like

Recommended Motors (120V Models)
All motors should be connected in parallel when used with the STAC5-120.
Note: The “Drive Current Setting” shown here differs from the rated current of each motor because the rated current is RMS and the drive
current setting is peak sine. If you are using a motor not listed here, for best results set the drive current at the motor’s rated current x 1.2.

Torque-Speed Curves
Note: all torque curves were measured at 20,000 steps/rev.
Step motors convert electrical power from the driver into mechanical power to move a load. Because step motors are not perfectly efficient, some of the electrical power turns into heat on its way through the motor. This heating is not so much dependent on the load being
driven but rather the motor speed and power supply voltage. There 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 curves showing the maximum duty cycle versus speed for each
motor and drive. Please refer to these curves when planning your application.
Please also keep in mind that a step motor typically reaches maximum temperature after 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 five minutes off is also 50% duty.
However, one hour on and one hour off has the effect of 100% duty because during the first hour the motor will reach full (and possibly
excessive) temperature.
The 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 STAC5 drivers efficiently transmit power between the AC power and motor, they do generate some heat in the process. This 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 (see tables below)
drive thermal constant R
The final drive case temperature is given by
Tc = Ta + RQ* P
where Ta is the ambient temperature of the surrounding air. The case of the drive should not be allowed to exceed 70°C or the life of the
product could be reduced.
Drive thermal constant (with drive mounted on a 15.75” x 15.75” steel plate, .040” thick): RQ =0.87°C/W
Use #6 screws to mount your drive. 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 overhea
• Never use your drive in a space where there is no air flow or where other devices cause the surrounding air to be
more than 40°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 flow around the drive. When mounting multiple STAC5 drives near each other, maintain at
least one half inch of space between drives.
