ST Plus Series DC Stepper Drives (Part Numbers)

・Materials
The ST5-Plus and ST10-Plus stepper drives are DC-powered microstepping drives for controlling two-phase, bipolar step motors. They offer advanced current control and a sophisticated 3rd generation anti-resonance algorithm that electronically dampens motor and system resonances to improve motor smoothness and usable torque over a wide speed range. The drives also employs electronic torque ripple smoothing and microstep emulation to greatly reduce motor noise and vibration. The ST5 drives maybe powered from 24 to 48 VDC and can output up to 5.0 from A/phase (peak-of-sine) to the step motor. The ST10 drives may be powered from 24-80 VDC and can output up to 10.0 A/phase (peak-of-sine) to the step motor. Over-voltage, over-temperature and over-current protection features prevent damage while running in adverse conditions. Each drive is complemented by a specifically matched set of NEMA 11, NEMA 17, NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 frame stepper motors (see Related and Recommended products below).
The ST5-Plus and ST10-Plus drives can operate in all of the same control modes as the S models (pulse & direction, velocity, streaming commands, SiNet Hub operation), plus they have the ability to run stand-alone Q programs stored in non-volatile memory. Q programs are created using the Q Programmer™ software, which provides multi-tasking, math functions, conditional processing, data register manipulation, and more features in a robust yet simple text-based programming language. Each drive is setup and configured using Applied Motion’s ST Configurator™ software. Preconfigured motor setup files included with ST Configurator™ make it easy to set up the drive for optimum results.
For connecting to external devices such as step & direction control signals, incremental encoders, limit switches, proximity or photoelectric sensors, PLC I/O, lamps, and other devices, the drive comes with 3 digital inputs, 1 digital output, and 1 single-ended analog input. Adjustable digital filters are present on the digital inputs for enhanced reliability in noisy environments.
The drive comes with an RS-232 port for configuration, serial communications and programming.
All ST drives are CE approved and RoHS compliant.
