Standard Integrated Motors/Drives
The SureStep™ STP-MTRD standard series integrated motors/drives
(STP-MTRD-17 and -23) use pulse input signals, and are configured with DIP
switches on the drive. To use this motor/drive in a step motor control system, you
will need the following:
• 12-48 volt (for 17 series) or 12-70 volt (for 23 series) DC power supply for the
motor/drive. The SureStep linear power supplies from AutomationDirect are the
best choice. If you decide not to use a STP-PWR-xxxx, 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, step and direction, or quadrature.
• A small flat blade screwdriver (3/32”) for tightening the connectors.
The SureStep standard integrated motors/drives are enclosed with removable
wiring terminal blocks. Models with external encoders (for position feedback to a
PLC, motion controller, etc.) are available.
Refer to Chapter 5: “SureStep Integrated Motors/Drives” for complete details on
the installation, configuration, and wiring of this motor/drive.
