The
STM23R-3NN integrated stepper is a drive+motor unit, fusing a NEMA 23
step motor and a sophisticated 5.0 A/phase (peak-of-sine) stepper drive
into a single device. Power to the drive, located at the rear of the
motor, must be supplied by an external DC supply. See Related and
Recommended Products below for compatible 24 and 48 volt DC
power supplies.
The STM23R-3NN is designed for step & direction control from an
external controller. The external controller can be a motion controller,
PLC, or other device that provides two digital outputs: one output for
digital pulses to control position and velocity of the motor, and a
second output to control the direction of the motor, CW and CCW. Some
controllers provide two pulse outputs – referred to as CW/CCW pulse or
pulse-pulse – instead of pulse & direction. The STM23R works with
these controllers as well simply by changing one of the setup dip
switches.
Note that STM23R integrated steppers are not available with any
communication options (such as Ethernet, RS-485, etc.) or additional
control modes (such as velocity, streaming commands or Q programming).
For these and other functions see other models in the
STM23 integrated stepper family .
The STM23R-3NN is a single-shaft version of the STM23R. A double-shaft version is also available, STM23R-3ND, as well as a version with a 1000-line, incremental encoder assembled to the rear shaft, STM23R-3NE.
Each STM23R integrated stepper comes with 3 digital inputs and 1
digital output. Two of the digital inputs (labeled STEP and DIR) accept
signals of 5-24 VDC and are used for controlling position and velocity
of the motor, either via pulse & direction or CW/CCW pulse outputs
from an external controller. The third digital input (EN) accepts
signals of 5-24 VDC and can be used to enable/disable power to the motor
shaft. The digital output (OUT) can be used to indicate drive and motor
faults by connecting it to an available digital input on the external
controller.
To facilitate connecting I/O signals and DC power to the STM23R, a
mating connector with 12-inch flying leads is included with each unit.
All STM23R integrated steppers are RoHS compliant.
