2 Getting Started
The following items are needed:
• a 24 - 70 Volt DC power supply, see the section below “Choosing a Power Supply” for help in choos-
ing the right one
• If the keep alive function is required, an external 12 - 48 volt DC power supply will be needed for
auxiliary power
• a small at blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included)
• a PC running Microsoft Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11
• A 3004-331-XX (right angle), 3004-332-XX (straight) power cable, 3004-333-XX (right angle), 3004-
334-XX (straight) I/O cable.
• 3004-280-5M Ethernet programming cable, and 3004-335-XX (straight) or 3004-345-XX (right angle)
for daisy chain network.
2.1 Installing Software
Before utilizing the TXM34XxB Integrated StepSERVO Motor and Step-Servo Quick Tuner Software in
an application, the following steps are necessary:
• Install the Step-Servo Quick Tuner Software from Applied Motion Products website, version
3.2.20.1203 or later
• Connect the drive to the PC using the programming cable, see Section 3.2.5 “Connecting to a PC
using Ethernet”.
• Connect the drive to the power supply. See instructions below.
• Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs... Applied Motion Products.
2.2 Mounting the Hardware
As with any step motor, the TXM34XxB must be mounted so as to provide maximum heat sinking and
airow. Keep enough space around the Integrated Motor to allow for the airow.
Never use the drive where there is no airow or where other devices cause the surrounding
air to be more than 40°C (104°F).
Never use the drive where metal or other electrically conductive particles can inltrate the
drive.
Always provide airow around the drive.
2.3 Choosing a Power Supply
The main considerations when choosing a power supply are the voltage and current requirements for the
application.

7
TXM34XxB Hardware Manual
920-0157 Rev B
10/9/2023
2.3.1 Supply Voltage
The TXM34XxB is designed to give optimum performance at 48 Volts DC. Choosing the voltage depends on the
performance needed and motor/drive heating that is acceptable and/or does not cause a drive over-temperature.
Higher voltages will give higher speed performance but will cause the TXM34XxB to produce higher tempera-
tures. Using power supplies with voltage outputs that are near the drive’s maximum may signicantly reduce the
operational duty-cycle.
The extended range of operation can be as low as 18VDC minimum to as high as 75VDC maximum. When oper-
ating below 24VDC, the power supply input may require larger capacitance to prevent under-voltage and internal-
supply alarms. Current spikes may make supply readings erratic. The supply input cannot go below 18VDC for
reliable operation. Absolute minimum power supply input is 18VDC. If the input supply drops below 18VDC the
low voltage alarm will be triggered. This will not fault the drive.
Absolute maximum power supply input is 75VDC at which point an over-voltage alarm and fault will occur. When
using a power supply that is regulated and is near the drive maximum voltage of 75VDC, a regen clamp such as
the RC880 may be required to prevent over-voltage when regeneration occurs. When using an unregulated power
supply, make sure the no-load voltage of the supply does not exceed the drive’s maximum input voltage of 75VDC.
2.3.2 Auxiliary Supply Voltage (Keep Alive Function)
Apart from the main power supply, TXM34XxB also has an auxiliary power input (AUX power) for keep alive func-
tion of the drive. When the main power supply is o󰀨, the AUX power will keep the logic power on, allowing the
drive to remember its state data (motor position, etc.). This allows the motor to resume operation from its previous
position without a homing routine when the main power is switched back on.
When the main power is removed while the auxiliary power is still on, the drive will show a fault. If the AUX power
supply range is 12-15VDC, the status LED will ash a 3 red, 2 green pattern indicating the internal voltage is
out of range. If the AUX power supply is 15-48VDC, the status LED will ash a 4 red, 2 green pattern indicating
a power supply undervoltage. When the main power supply is restored the drive will not automatically clear the
fault. It will need to be cleared by the I/O function or SCL commands.
2.3.2.1 Power Sequence
For best motor performance, the main power must always be applied before the auxiliary power. When main power
is applied to the motor rst, there is a brief self-test procedure that automatically measures internal motor param-
eters. This self-test procedure ensures optimal performance of the motor. However, if auxiliary power is already
applied when main power is applied, the self-test procedure does not execute. For this reason, when powering
the motor on from a completely powered o󰀨 state (both main and auxiliary power removed), the sequence must
always be main power rst, auxiliary power second.
Once the self-test procedure is successfully executed, the internal motor parameters are stored by the drive until
both main and auxiliary power supplies are removed. Therefore, the main power can be repeatedly removed
without the motor parameters being lost, as long as auxiliary power is maintained at all times. Only when both
the main and auxiliary power are removed does the sequence above apply.
2.3.2.2 Keep Alive Recovery with I/O Function
1. After the main power is removed and the logic remains powered, an undervoltage or internal voltage out of
range fault is generated. This alarm will display as a ashing LED pattern which can be checked by the codes
listed in Section 4.1 “Status (STAT) LED Error Codes”.
2. After the main power supply has been restored, the fault must be cleared. Use the alarm reset function through
input 3 (X3) which can be set in the Step-Servo Quick Tuner Software. If an internal voltage out of range alarm
occurred, the motor will remain disabled. Use the servo on function through input 3 (X3), also set by the software.
If an undervoltage occurred, the motor will re-enable after using the alarm reset function.
3. Resume motion and normal program operation.

2.3.2.3 Keep Alive Recovery with SCL
1. After the main power is removed and the logic remains powered, an undervoltage or internal voltage out
of range fault is generated. This alarm displays as a ashing LED pattern and a bit in the alarm code which
can be read by the host using the AL command.
2. Monitor the main power supply using the IU command. the IU command reads in units of 0.1V. For ex-
ample, at 24 volts the response to the IU command will be IU=240. See Section 5.3 “Technical Specica-
tions” for acceptable operational voltage limits.
3. After the main power supply has been restored, the fault must be cleared. To clear the fault, send the AR
command. The alarm word will become 0. If the fault that occurred was internal voltage out of range, the
motor will remain disabled. Send the ME command to enable the motor. If the fault was undervoltage, the
motor will be enabled after the AR command is sent.
4. As the motor may have moved while the main power was lost, the EP command may be used to verify
the motor’s current position.
5. Resume motion and normal program operation.
2.3.3 Regeneration Clamp
If a regulated power supply is being used, there may be a problem with regeneration. When a load decel-
erates rapidly from a high speed, some of the kinetic energy of the load is transferred back to the power
supply, possibly tripping the over-voltage protection of a regulated power supply, causing it to shut down.
This problem can be solved with the use of a Applied Motion Products RC880 Regeneration Clamp. It is
recommended that an RC880 initially be installed in an application. If the “regen” LED on the RC880 never
ashes, the clamp is not necessary.
RC880 Regen Clamp
2.3.4 Supply Current
The maximum supply currents required by the TXM34XxB are shown in the charts below at di󰀨erent power
supply voltage inputs. The TXM34XxB power supply current is lower than the winding currents because it
uses switching ampliers to convert a high voltage and low current into lower voltage and higher current.
The more the power supply voltage exceeds the motor voltage, the less current will be required from the
power supply.

920-0157 Rev B
10/9/2023
It is important to note that the current draw is signicantly di󰀨erent at higher speeds depending on the torque
load to the motor. Estimating how much current is necessary may require a good analysis of the load the
motor will encounter.

This process requires three steps:
Physically connect the motor to the network (or directly to the PC).
There are 2 Ethernet connectors on the motor labeled COM1 and
COM2. - For Ethernet Motor conguration and programming, Please
use port “COM1 “ on the motor only. - If the Ethernet network is con-
nected in a daisy-chain fashion, the connection should be from mo-
tor#1 COM2 to motor#2 COM1, motor#2 COM2 to motor#3 COM1
and so on. - If using a router or hub on the network, the connection
should be from the router or hub to the motor. Only COM1 port on
the drive can be used, but take care to not connect to both COM
ports as this may cause the communication to work incorrectly.
• Set the motor’s IP address
• Set the appropriate networking properties on the PC

Applied Motion Products website.
Setting the IP Address
Your TXM34X stores two IP addresses: the “normal”address” and the “recovery” address. Once you’ve con-
nected your TXM34X to a PC, you can set the “normal” address to a value that is best for your network. If
you don’t know the IP address of your TXM34X, you must connect using the “recovery” address. To do this,
power up the TXM34X with the network cable unplugged. Wait ten seconds, then plug in the network cable.
The TXM34X will then communicate using the “recovery” address, which is always 10.10.10.10. Once you
are connected to a PC that’ running the Step Servo Quick Tuner software, you can click “IP Table” on the
top menu bar and set the normal IP address.
If you later connect the TXM34X to your network and it doesn’t communicate, it might be do to a slow network
component that is fooling the TXM34X into using the recovery address. In that case, you should change
the recovery delay to a long time period. That is also done by clicking “IP Table” in Step Servo Quick Tuner.
Note that on power cycle, the IP address reverts back to the programmed IP address, not the 10.10.10.10
recovery address. PIN Signal Color

Addresses, Subnets, and Ports
Every device on an Ethernet network must have a unique IP address. In order for two devices to communicate
with each other, they must both be connected to the network and they must have IP addresses that are on
the same subnet. A subnet is a logical division of a larger network. Members of one subnet are generally not
able to communicate with members of another unless they are connected through special network equipment
(e.g. router). Subnets are dened by the choices of IP addresses and subnet masks.
If you want to know the IP address and subnet mask of your PC, select Start…All Programs… Accessories…
Command Prompt. Then type “ipcong” and press Enter. You should see something like this:
If your PC’s subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, a common setting known as a Class C subnet mask, then
your machine can only talk to another network device whose IP address matches yours in the rst three
octets. (The numbers between the dots in an IP address are called octets.) For example, if your PC is on a
Class C subnet and has an IP address of 192.168.0.20, it can talk to a device at 192.168.0.40, but not one
at 192.168.1.40. If you change your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 (Class B) you can talk to any device whose
rst two octets match yours. Be sure to ask your system administrator before doing this. Your network may
be segmented for a reason.
If someone were to change the other settings and not write it down or tell anyone then you will not be able to
communicate with your drive. The only way to “recover” it is to use the recovery address.
Setting the address to “0.0.0.0”, means using the “DHCP” function. It commands the drive to get an IP address
from a DHCP server on the network. The IP address automatically assigned by the DHCP server may be
“dynamic” or “static” depending on how the administrator has congured DHCP. The DHCP setting is reserved
for advanced users.
Your PC, or any other device that you use to communicate with the drive, will also have a unique address.
One of the great features of Ethernet is the ability for many applications to share the network at the same
time. Ports are used to direct tra󰀩c to the right application once it gets to the right IP address. The UDP eSCL
port in our drives is 7775. To send and receive commands using TCP, use port number 7776. You’ll need to
know this when you begin to write your own application. You will also need to choose an open (unused) port
number for your application. Our drive doesn’t care what that is; when the rst command is sent to the drive,
the drive will make note of the IP address and port number from which it originated and direct any responses
there. The drive will also refuse tra󰀩c from other IP addresses that is headed for the eSCL port. The rst ap-
plication to talk to a drive “owns” the drive. This lock is only reset when the drive powers down.
If you need help choosing a port number for your application, you can nd a list of commonly used port num-
bers at http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.
One nal note: Ethernet communication can use one or both of two “transport protocols”: UDP and TCP. eSCL
commands can be sent and received using either protocol. UDP is simpler and more e󰀩cient than TCP, but
TCP is more reliable on large or very busy networks where UDP packets might occasionally be dropped.

Option 1: Connect a Drive to Your Local Area Network
If you have a spare port on a switch or router and if you are able to set your drive to an IP address that is
compatible with your network, and not used by anything else, this is a simple way to get connected. This
technique also allows you to connect multiple drives to your PC. If you are on a corporate network, check
with the system administrator before connecting anything new to the network. They should be able assign
a suitable address and help you get going.
If you are not sure which addresses are already used on your network, you can nd out using “Angry IP
scanner”, which can be downloaded free from http://www.angryip.org/w/Download. But be careful: an address
might appear to be unused because a computer or other device is currently turned o󰀨. And many networks
use dynamic addressing where a DHCP server assigns addresses “on demand”. The address you choose
for your drive might get assigned to something else by the DHCP server at another time.
If the PC’s address is not in one of the congured drive subnets, you will have to change your subnet mask
to 255.255.0.0 in
Order to talk to your drive. To change your subnet mass
1. Click Computer. Scroll down the left pane until you see “Network”. Right click and select properties. Se-
lect “Change adapter settings”
2. You should see an icon for your network interface card (NIC). Right click and select properties
3. Scroll down until you see “Internet Properties (TCP/IP)”. Select this item and click the Properties button.
OK for “(TCP/IPv4)”
4. If the option “Obtain an IP address automatically” is selected, your PC is getting an IP address and
a subnet mask from the DHCP server. Please cancel this dialog and proceed to the next section of this
manual: “Using DHCP”.
5. If the option “Use the following IP address” is selected, life is good. Change the subnet mask to “255.255.0.0”
and click OK.
Using DHCP (not recommended)
If you want to use your drive on a network where all or most of the devices use dynamic IP addresses
supplied by a DHCP server, set the IP address to “0.0.0.0”. When the drive is connected to the network
and powered on, it will obtain an IP address and a subnet mask from the server that is compatible with
your PC. The only catch is that you won’t know what address the server assigns to your drive. As it may
be di󰀩cult to resolve addresses with DHCP, this method is not recommended.

Option 2: Connect a Drive Directly to Your PC
1. Connect one end of a CAT5e STP cable into the LAN card (NIC) on your PC and the other to the drive.
You don’t need a special “crossover cable”; the drive will automatically detect the direct connection and
make the necessary physical layer changes.
2. The default IP address is “10.10.10.10”.
3. To set the IP address of your PC: Click Computer. Scroll down the left pane until you see “Network”.
Right click and select properties. Select “Change adapter settings”
4. You should see an icon for your network interface card (NIC). Right click and select properties.
a. Scroll down until you see “Internet Properties (TCP/IP)”. Select this item and click the Properties
button.
b. Look for “(TCP/IPv4)”
5. Select the option “Use the following IP address”. Then enter the address “10.10.10.10”. This will give
your PC an IP address that is on the same subnet as the drive. Windows will know to direct any tra󰀩c in-
tended for the drive’s IP address to this interface card.
6. Next, enter the subnet mask as “255.255.255.0”.
7. Be sure to leave “Default gateway” blank. This will prevent your PC from looking for a router on this sub-
net.
8. Because you are connected directly to the drive, anytime the drive is not powered on, your PC will annoy
you with a small message bubble in the corner of your screen saying “The network cable is unplugged.”

Option 3: Use Two Network Interface Cards (NICs)
This technique allows you to keep your PC connected to your LAN, but keeps the drive o󰀨 the LAN, pre-
venting possible IP conicts or excessive tra󰀩c.
1. If you use a desktop PC and have a spare card slot, install a second NIC and connect it directly to the
drive using a CAT5e cable. You don’t need a special “crossover cable”; the drive will automatically detect
the direct connection and make the necessary physical layer changes.
2. If you use a laptop and only connect to your LAN using wireless networking, you can use the built-in RJ45
Ethernet connection as your second NIC.
3. The default IP address is “10.10.10.10”.
. To set the IP address of the second NIC:
Click Computer. Scroll down the left pane until you see “Network”. Right click and select properties.
Select “Change adapter settings”
5. You should see an icon for your newly instated NIC. Right click again and select properties, look for
“(TCP/IPv4)”
6. Select the option “Use the following IP address”. Then enter the address “10.10.10.10”. This will give your
PC an IP address that is on the same subnet as the drive. Windows will know to direct any tra󰀩c intended
for the drive’s IP address to this interface card.
7. Next, enter the subnet mask as “255.255.255.0”. Be sure to leave “Default gateway” blank. This will
prevent your PC from looking for a router on this subnet.
8. Because you are connected directly to the drive, anytime the drive is not powered on your PC will annoy
you with a small message bubble in the corner of your screen saying “The network cable is unplugged.”

3.3 Inputs and Outputs
The TXM34X has three types of inputs:
• High speed digital inputs for step & direction commands or encoder following, 5 to 24 volt logic
• Low speed digital input for other signals, 5 to 24 volt logic
• Analog input for analog speed and positioning modes
All drives include 5 digital inputs and 1 analog input:
• X1/STEP & X2/DIR are high-speed digital inputs for commanding position. Quadrature signals
from encoders can also be used. When not being used for the Step & Direction function these
inputs can be used for CW & CCW step, (start/stop)/direction (oscillator mode), or general pur-
pose input.
• X3, X7 and X8 are low speed software programmable inputs and can be used for Motor Enable/
Disable and Alarm/Fault Reset function, CW/CCW Limit, or general purpose input.
• AIN is an analog input for a velocity or position command signal. It can accept 0-5 volts and has
gain, ltering, o󰀨set and dead-band settings.
