Getting Started
This manual describes the use of six 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:
• a 24-48 volt DC power supply. (24 - 80VDC for ST10 models). Please read the
section entitled Choosing a Power Supply for help in choosing the right power supply.
• a compatible step motor. See section on Recommended Motors.
• a small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
• a personal computer running Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, NT, Me, XP, Vista or 7.
• An Applied Motion programming cable (included with non-Ethernet drives).
• For Ethernet drives you will need a CAT5 cable (not included).
• Relevant software applications, as outlined below. All software is available as a free download from
http://www.applied-motion.com/products/software.
If you’ve never used an ST 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 drives, install the ST Configurator™ software application.
For -Q drives, install the ST Configurator™ and Q Programmer™ software applications.
For -Q-E and -IP-E drives, install ST Configurator Ethernet™ and Q Programmer™ software applications.
For -Si models, install and use the Si Programmer™ software for configuration and programming.
For -C drives, install the ST Configurator™ and the CANopen Example Program software applications.
Q Programmer™ software may also be installed, if needed.
2. Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion...
3. Connect the drive to your PC using the programming cable. For RS-232 drives, select the correct COM
port. For Ethernet drives, ensure that the IP address is correct.
4. Connect the drive to the power supply.
5. Connect the drive to the motor.
6. Apply power to the drive.
7. The software will recognize your drive, display the model and firmware version and be ready for action.
