Standard Microstepping Drives (continued)
STP-DRV-4035
The SureStep™ STP-DRV-4035 standard microstepping drive uses pulse input
signals, and is configured with DIP switches on the drive. To use this drive in a
step motor control system, you will need the following:
• 12-42 volt DC power supply for the motor drive. The SureStep STP-PWR-3204
linear power supply from AutomationDirect is the best choice. If you decide not
to use the STP-PWR-3204, 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 compatible step motor, such as an AutomationDirect SureStep STP-MTRx.
(Motor extension cables STP-EXTx are also available.)
• A small flat blade or phillips screwdriver for tightening the connectors.
The STP-DRV-4035 standard microstepping drive is an open frame design.
Refer to the “SureStep STP-DRV-4035 Microstepping Drive” chapter of this user
manual for complete details on the installation, configuration, and wiring of this
drive.
