Getting Started
This manual describes the use of two different drive models, ST5-S & ST10-S. To get started, you’ll need the
following:

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).

• Relevant software applications, as outlined below. All software is available as a free download from http://
www.applied-motion.com/products/software.
• An Applied Motion programming cable (included)
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. Launch the ST Configurator™ software by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion...
2. Connect the drive to your PC using the programming cable.
3. Connect the drive to the power supply.
4. Connect the drive to the motor.
5. Apply power to the drive.
