ST5-Q-RN Datasheet, PDF (2/11 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – DC Advanced Microstep Drive w/ Q Programming

Description
The ST5-Q-RN 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-Q-RN can operate in all of the same control modes as the S model (pulse & direction, velocity, streaming
commands, SiNet Hub operation), plus it has the ability to run stand-alone Q programs stored in non-volatile
memory. Q programs are created using the Q Programmer™ software, which provides multi-tasking, math
functions, conditional processing, data register manipulation, and more features in a robust yet simple text-based
programming language. 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, serial communications and programming. It also comes
with an RS-485 port for streaming serial commands over serial networks with up to 32 axes.
All ST drives are CE approved and RoHS compliant.
