This product has been replaced by the ST10-C-CE. Read this notice for details.
The ST5-C-CN stepper drive is a DC-powered microstepping drive for controlling two-phase, bipolar step motors. It offers 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 drive also employs electronic torque ripple smoothing and microstep emulation to greatly reduce motor noise and vibration. The drive must be powered from 24-48 VDC and can output up to 5.0 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. The drive is complemented by a specifically matched set of NEMA 11 through NEMA 23 frame stepper motors (see Related and Recommended products below).
The ST5-C-CN is designed to operate on a CANopen communication network and conforms to Can in Automation (CiA) DS301 and DSP402 specifications. It supports Profile Position, Profile Velocity, and Homing modes, as well as the ability to run stored Q programs via Applied Motion-specific CANopen objects. The 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 control signals, incremental encoders, limit switches, proximity or photoelectric sensors, PLC I/O, lamps, and other devices, the drive comes with 8 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs, and 2 single-ended analog inputs (analog inputs can be wired together as 1 differential 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 and programming. It also comes with a CANopen port for connecting to the CANopen data network.
All ST drives are CE approved and RoHS compliant.
