Advanced Microstepping Drive
The SureStep™ advanced microstepping drives (STP-DRV-4850 & -80100) are
capable of accepting several different forms of input signals for control: pulse,
analog, serial communication, or internal indexing. These drives are configured
by computer with software which is included with the drive. To use one of these
drives in a step motor control system, you will need the following:
• A DC power supply for the motor drive. 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 compatible step motor, such as an AutomationDirect SureStep STP-MTRx.
(Motor extension cables STP-EXTx are also available.)
• A small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors.
The SureStep advanced microstepping drives are enclosed with removable wiring
terminal blocks.
Refer to the “SureStep™ Advanced Microstepping Drives” chapter of this user
manual for complete details on the installation, configuration, and wiring of this
drive.
