The STAC5-Q-N220 stepper drive employs sophisticated current control designed for optimal smoothness over a

wide speed range. Anti-resonance, torque ripple smoothing, and microstepping work together to bring step motor

performance to a new high. To complement the drive Applied Motion offers a specially matched set of low-loss

NEMA 23 and 34 frame motors (see Related and Recommended Products below), all specifically designed with

high voltage operation in mind. Power to the drive comes from single-phase 220 VAC, and the drive can output up

to 2.55 A/phase (peak-of-sine) to the step motor. Protection features like over-voltage, over-temperature, and over-

current prevent damage while running in adverse conditions.

The STAC5-Q-N220 can operate in all of the same control modes as a STAC5-S drive (pulse & direction, velocity,

streaming commands), 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. Initial setup of the drive, including selecting the control mode, setting up the motor, and

configuring other drive parameters is done using the ST Configurator™ software.

For connecting to external devices such as limit switches, proximity or photoelectric sensors, PLC I/O, lamps, and

other devices, the drive comes with 12 digital inputs, 6 digital outputs, and 1 analog input. The drive also features

an Ethernet port for configuration and communications. The Ethernet port is fast 10/100 Mbit, and the drive

supports both TCP and UDP communication protocols.

This step motor drive is UL Recognized (File No. E332730), CE approved, and RoHS compliant.
