2.1 Installing Software
Step-Servo Quick Tuner is the PC based software application used to configure, and perform
servo tuning, drive testing and evaluation of the step-servo products. System servo control gains,
drive functionality and I/O configuration are set with Step-Servo Quick Tuner. It also contains an
oscilloscope function to help set the servo control gains.
• Download the Step-Servo Quick Tuner from the MOONS’website and install it.
• Launch the software by clicking Start-----Programs ----MOONS’
• Connect the drive to PC by RS-232 cable. Please see the section below entitled “Choosing
the Right COM Port”.
• Connect the drive to the Power Supply.
• Connect the motor to the drive.
• Power up the drive.
• The software will recognize your drive, display the model and firmware version and be ready
for action.
The connectors and other points of interest are illustrated below:

2.4 Connecting the Power Supply
The SSDC series step-servo drive and motor are shipped with a power cable, 2 meters long.
Connect the red wire to the positive of the power supply. Connect the black wire to the negative of
the power supply. Plug the cable into the power connector of the drive.
(NOTE：Be careful not to reverse the wires. Reversing the connection may open the
internal fuse on the drive and void the warranty.)

2.5 Choosing a Power Supply
The main considerations when choosing a power supply are the voltage and current requirements
for the application.
2.5.1 Voltage
The SSDC drive is designed to give optimum performance between 24 and 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 RS driver to produce higher temperatures. Using power supplies with voltage outputs
that are near the drive maximum may significantly reduce the operational duty-cycle.
SSDC03
For the SSDC03 drive, the extended range of operation can be as low as 11 VDC minimum to as
high as 53 VDC maximum. When operating below 11 VDC, 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 11 VDC for reliable operation. This
will not fault the drive. Absolute maximum power supply input is 53 VDC 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 53 VDC, a voltage clamp 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 53 VDC.
SSDC06/10
For the SSDC06/10 drive, the extended range of operation can be as low as 18 VDC minimum to
as high as 75 VDC maximum. When operating below 18 VDC, 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 18 VDC for reliable operation. This
will not fault the drive. Absolute maximum power supply input is 75 VDC 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 75 VDC, a voltage clamp 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 75 VDC.

2.5.2 Current
The maximum supply currents required by the SSDC series step servo drive and motor are shown
below in chats at different power supply voltage input. The SSDC drive power supply current is
lower than the winding currents because it uses switching amplifiers to convert a high voltage and
low current into low voltage and high current. The more power supply voltage exceeds the motor
voltage, the less current will be required from the power supply.
It is important to note that the current draw is significantly different 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 to the motor.
