The ST10-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 24-80 VDC and can output up to 10.0 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 23 and NEMA 34

frame stepper motors (see Related and Recommended products below).

The ST10-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.
