SureStep™ System Introduction
SureStep open-loop and inclusive position verification (semi-closed loop) stepping systems provide simple and accurate control of position and speed where lower power and cost are considerations. The SureStep family of stepping components includes power supplies, drives, motors, and cables. The AutomationDirect family of PLCs or other indexers and motion controllers can be used to provide the signals that are “translated” by the microstepping drives into precise movement of the stepping motor shaft.

power supply, ensure that the unloaded voltage does not oat above the drive’s maximum input
range.
2) For best performance, use the lowest voltage power supply that supplies the required speed and torque.
3) An unloaded STP-PWR-7005 can oat above the allowable input voltages of some drives if it is fed
with a high AC input voltage (greater than 120VAC).

Microstepping Drives Introduction
There are two different basic types of microstepping drives offered in the SureStep™ series. Two DIP-switch configurable models with pulse inputs are available, as well as two software configurable advanced models with multiple operating modes. Descriptions of integrated motor/drives (a drive integrally attached to the motor) follow the drive-only section.
Standard Microstepping Drives
STP-DRV-6575
The SureStep™ STP-DRV-6575 standard microstepping drive uses pulse input signals, and is configured with DIP switches on the drive. To use this drive in a step motor control system, you will need the following:
• A 24–65 VDC power supply for the motor drive. SureStep STP-PWR-3204 or STP­PWR-48xx linear power supplies from AutomationDirect are good choices. If you decide not to use one of these recommended power supplies, then please read the section entitled “Choosing a Power Supply” in Chapter 7, “SureStep System Power Supplies.”
• A source of step pulses. Signal may be sinking (NPN), sourcing (PNP), or differential.
• The step inputs can be CW/CCW or Step & Direction. CW and CCW are viewed from the end opposite the drive end of the motor (looking out of the shaft).
• A compatible step motor, such as an AutomationDirect SureStep STP-MTRx. (Motor extension cables STP-EXTx are also available.)
• A small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors.
The STP-DRV-6575 standard microstepping drive is an enclosed design.
Refer to the “SureStep STP-DRV-6575 Microstepping Drive” chapter of this user manual for complete details on the installation, configuration, and wiring of this drive.

Bipolar Step Motor Introduction
AutomationDirect offers many different models of bipolar step motors with mounting flanges in two different shaft configurations (single and dual-shaft), and in four different NEMA frame sizes (14, 17, 23, and 34). There are a variety of motor types available: low torque (STP-MTRL), high torque (STP-MTR), and higher torque (STP-MTRH). Models that have a “D”, “E”, or “W” variant represent a dual shaft option (D), an encoder pre-mounted to the motor (E), or IP65 washdown rated (W) respectively. The “D” variants except for the NEMA 34 motors are encoder ready with pre-drilled and tapped holes on the rear face for encoder mounting. All of the motors have a 12 inch connectorized pigtail cable, and optional matching 6, 10, or 20 foot connectorized extension cables (STP-EXTx) are also available. The IP65 motors (W models) have IP65 rated connectors.
Refer to Chapter 6: “SureStep™ Stepping Motors” in this user manual for complete details on the specifications, installation, mounting, dimensions, and wiring of the SureStep step motors.

Stepping System Power Supply Introduction
The SureStep stepping system power supplies are designed to work with SureStep microstepping drives and motors. The different power supply models can provide unregulated DC power at the applicable voltage and current levels for various SureStep drives and motors. The power supplies also provide a regulated 5VDC, 500 mA logic supply output for indexer and PLC logic outputs to control the SureStep drives. Automation Direct switching power supplies PSB12-xxxS, PSB24­xxxS, and PSB48-xxxS are good non-linear supplies. A regen clamp may be needed if using these supplies. For more information on using the power supplies please see Chapter 7: “SureStep System Power Supplies”.
The stepping system power supplies can supply power for multiple SureStep STP-DRV-xxxx microstepping motor drives, depending on step motor size and application requirements.
Refer to the Power Supply chapter of this user manual for complete details on the specifications, installation, mounting, dimensions, and wiring of the SureStep stepping system power supplies.
Further information about braking accessories and regeneration clamping can be found in Appendix A: “SureStep Accessories” and the STP-DRVA-RC-050 REGENERATION CLAMP datasheet.

Selecting the Stepping System
Refer to Appendix C: Selecting the SureStep™ Stepping System for detailed information on how to calculate requirements for various applications using stepping motors for motion control.
Use with AutomationDirect PLCs
Refer to Appendix B: Using SureStep™ with AutomationDirect PLCs for detailed information on wiring the SureStep Stepping System components to AutomationDirect PLCs and high-speed counter modules.
The following is a summary of the AutomationDirect PLCs and module part numbers that are suitable to work with the SureStep Stepping Systems:
High-Speed Pulse Output Control (Standard Drives)
Any AutomationDirect PLC with high speed pulse output can control the SureStep Standard and Advanced stepper drives and integrated motor/drives. Certain high­speed PLC outputs are 24VDC and may require dropping resistors to work with 5VDC stepper inputs. See Appendix B in this manual and the appropriate PLC User Manual for more detailed information.
AutomationDirect PLCs that can use pulse train outputs with SureStep drives:
BRX Series (all models with DC outputs on the CPU module) Productivity Series (all P2 and P3 CPUs - with the P2-HSO/P3-HSO modules) Do-More Series (all models that can use the H2-CTRIO2) DirectLogic Series
• All CPU models that can use the H2-CTRIO2 (and other CTRIO models)
• Models with built-in high speed outputs (DL05, DL06)
Serial Communication Control (Advanced Drives)
AutomationDirect PLCs with an RS-232 port can control an Advanced stepper drive (STP-DRV-4850, STP-DRV-80100) with serial communication (one drive per PLC communication port). A PLC with an RS-485 port can control multiple Advanced integrated stepper motor/drives.
The Click Series, BRX Series, Productivity Series, and Do-More Series of PLCs allow for simple ASCII control of the Advanced drives and motor/drives. Of the DirectLogic Series of PLCs, we recommend only using the DL06 and D2-260 CPUs due to their advanced ASCII instruction set which includes PRINTV and VPRINT commands.
See Appendix B and the appropriate PLC User Manual for more detailed information.
