Advanced Integrated Motors/Drives
The SureStep™ STP-MTRD advanced series integrated motors/drives (STP-MTRD-
17R, -23R, and -24R) are capable of accepting several different forms of input
signals for control: pulse, analog, serial communication, or internal indexing (via
serial communications). These motors/drives are configured with software which
is included with the drive. To use one of these motors/drives in a step motor
control system, you will need the following:
• A DC power supply for the motor drive (12-48 volt for 17 series, 12-70 volt for 23
and 24 series). A compatible SureStep STP-PWR-xxxx linear power supply from
AutomationDirect is the best choice.
• A source of input control signals, such as a PLC from AutomationDirect.
• A small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors.
The SureStep advanced integrated motors/drives are enclosed with removable
wiring terminal blocks. Models with internal encoders (for position verification
and stall prevention inside the motor/drive) are available.
Refer to Chapter 5: “SureStep Integrated Motors/Drives” for complete details on
the installation, configuration, and wiring of this motor/drive.
