TSM17S/Q Hardware Manual
2 Getting Started
The following items are needed:
• a 12 - 48 Volt DC power supply, see the section below entitled “Choosing a Power Supply” for
help in choosing the right one
• a small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included)
• a PC running Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 or 8
• an Applied Motion Products programming cable (included with RS-232 Models; RS-485
converters are available from Applied Motion Products)
2.1 Installing Software
Before utilizing the TSM17S/Q Integrated Step-Servo Motor and Step-Servo Quick Tuner Software
in an application, the following steps are necessary:
• Install the Step-Servo Quick Tuner software from the Applied Motion Products website.
• Connect the drive to the PC using the programming cable. When using RS-485, it must be
setup in a 4-Wire configuration (see “Connecting to a host using RS-485” below.)
• Connect the drive to the power supply. See instructions below.
• Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion Products.
• Apply power to the drive.
• The software will recognize the drive and display the model and firmware version. At this point,
it is ready for use.
2.2 Mounting the Hardware
As with any step motor, the TSM17S/Q must be mounted so as to provide maximum heat sinking
and airflow. Keep enough space around the Integrated Motor to allow for airflow.
• Never use the drive where there is no airflow 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
infiltrate the drive.
• Always provide airflow around the drive.
