2 Getting Started
The following items are needed:
• a 12 - 70 volt DC power supply, see the section below entitled “Choosing a Power Supply” for
help in choosing the right one
• a small at blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included)
• a PC running Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows 7
• the MOONS’ CD (included)
• a MOONS’ RS-232 programming cable (included)
2.1 Installing Software
Before utilizing the SSM24C Integrated Step-Servo Motor and SSM Quick Tuner Software in an
application, the following steps are necessary:
• Install the SSM Quick Tuner software from the CD, software is also available at MOONS’
website.
• Connect the drive to the PC using the RS-232 programming cable.
• Connect the drive to the power supply. See instructions below.
• Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs...MOONS’.
• Apply power to the drive.
• The software will recognize the drive and display the model and rmware version. At this point,
it is ready for use.
2.2 Mounting the Hardware
As with any step motor, the SSM24C must be mounted so as to provide maximum heat sinking
and airow. Keep enough space around the Integrated Motor to allow for 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 put the drive where it can get wet.
• 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.
2.3.1 Voltage
The SSM24C 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 SSM24C to produce higher temperatures. Using power supplies with voltage
outputs that are near the drive maximum may signi cantly reduce the operational duty-cycle.
The extended range of operation can be as low as 10 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 10 VDC for reliable operation. Absolute minimum power
supply input is 10 VDC. If the Input supply drops below 10 VDC the low voltage alarm will be
triggered. 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.
2.3.2 Regeneration Clamp
If a regulated power supply is being used, there may be a problem with regeneration. When a
load decelerates 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 MOONS’ 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.

2.3.3 Current
The maximum supply currents required by the SSM24C are shown in the charts below at different
power supply voltage inputs. The SSM24C 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.
It is important to note that the current draw is signicantly 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 the motor will encounter.

3 Installation/Connections
3.1 Connecting the Power Supply
Use 16 to 20-gauge wire to connect the SSM24 to a power supply. It contains an internal fuse
connected to the “+” terminal that is not user replaceable. If a user serviceable fuse is desired,
install a 4 amp fast acting fuse in line with the “+” power supply lead.
Be careful not to reverse the wires. Reversing the connection may open the
internal fuse on the drive and void the warranty.

MOONS' offers two matched power supplies for use with the SSM.
A 24VDC, 150W(P/N MF150A24AG-V) and a 48VDC 320W(P/N MF320A48AG-V).
These power supplies have current over load capability making them ideal for use.
(To use with a switch power supplier, a RC880 regen must be connected in system)
The RC880 regeneration clamp is for use where regeneration from the motor may cause damage to
the drive. In these cases the RC880 is connected between the drive and power supply and absorbs
regenerated energy.

3.2 Connecting the SSM24C Communications
The communications interface for the SSM24C is two standard 3-pin spring clamp connectors.
A special cable designed to work with the serial port for conguration is included. The SSM24C
is congured using a combination of rotary switches and an RS-232 serial link, and then may
be deployed on a distributed CANopen network. The RS-232 interface is used for conguration,
tuning, node ID setting and Q program downloading. The CANopen network should be connected
in a daisy-chain fashion, with a 120 ohm terminating resistor at each end of network.
Locate the SSM24C within 2.5 meters of the PC. Plug the DB9 connector of the communication
cable that came with the drive into the serial port of the PC. Plug the 3-pin spring clamp connector
into the appropriate connector on the SSM24C. Secure the cable to the PC with the screws on the
DB9 connector.
Note: If the PC does not have an RS-232 serial port, a USB Serial Converter will be needed.
You can contact MOONS’ to buy a USB to RS-232 converter.
The RS-232 circuitry does not have any extra electrical “hardening” and care should be taken
when connecting to the RS-232 port as hot plugging could result in circuit failure.
3.2.1 Node ID
Each node ID on a CANopen network must have a unique Node ID. The
Node ID is congured using a sixteen position switch to set the lower four
bits of the Node ID while the upper three bits are congured by using ST
Congurator. CANopen Node IDs are seven bits long, with a range of 1 -
127, or 0x01 - 0x7F in hexadecimal notation. Node ID 0x00 is reserved in
accordance with the DS301 specication.
3.2.2 Setting the Bitrate
The CANopen network bitrate is set by the ten position
switch on the front of the drive. The bit rate must be the
same for all nodes on the CANopen network. Any changes
to the bit rate require either a power cycle or a CANopen
reset command to take effect.

can be turned on and off by program instructions like Set Output (SO). The output can be used to
drive LEDs, relays and the inputs of other electronic devices like PLCs and counters. The OUT+
(collector) and OUT- (emitter) terminals of the transistor are available at the connector. This allows
the output to be congured for current sourcing or sinking.
Diagrams of various connection types follow.
Do not connect the output to more than 30 volts. The current through the output terminal
must not exceed 100mA.

4 Drive Conguration
SSM Quick Tuner is the PC based software application used to congure, and perform servo
tuning, drive testing and evaluation of the SSM. System servo control gains, drive functionality,
and I/O conguration are set with Quick Tuner. It also contains an oscilloscope function to help set
the servo control gains.
4.1 Quick Tuner Toolbar
4.1.1 Open, Save, and Print
In addition to exchanging settings with a drive, the SSM Quick Tuner software can also save &
load settings using the PC’s hard drive.
The Open button brings up a dialog box showing all the SSM Quick Tuner les on the hard drive.
When a large number of identical machines are being built it is useful to be able to exactly
duplicate each set-up. When development of one machine is completed and the motion control is
working correctly, it can be saved to a le. When the next machine is built, the set-up le may be
opened and downloaded to that drive. One of the advantages of programmable, digital control is
this easy duplication of system settings.
With the Save button a set-up can be saved to the hard drive. Long le names may be used just
as with other 32 bit Windows programs, such as Microsoft Word or Excel.
The Print button allows a hard copy of a program to be printed on any system printer. The
standard Windows printer dialog is used, allowing the choice of typical printer settings.
4.1.2 Restore
The Restore button will reset all parameters in the drive to the ones set by the factory (defaults).
Note - as this will erase all parameters that have been changed, it may be desired to save them to
a le rst.
4.1.3 Alarm History
The SSM stores a log of previous alarm conditions viewable in the Alarm History. When an alarm
occurs, the drive stores the information on which alarm conditions were triggered. As a fault may
trigger more than one alarm condition, the drive stores all of them for reference. This information
can then be viewed in the Alarm History dialog to help with drive and system problem solving. The

drive stores up to 8 sets of alarm conditions. The Alarm History dialog can also be used to clear
the Alarm History.
4.1.4 LED Flashing
Clicking on this button will bring up a screen where the LED ashing for certain warnings can be
masked. Alarm fault conditions are not allowed to be masked and will always be indicated by the
drive’s LEDs. Masking alarm warnings only prevents the indication of the alarm by the LEDs. The
alarm warning will still be set in the Alarm status code and in the Alarm History. See section 7 on
“Troubleshooting” below for an explanation of these codes.
4.1.5 Drive & Revision
When SSM Quick Tuner is connected to an SSM Integrated Motor the drive model, sub-model,
and rmware revision are automatically indicated. If working ofine (no drive is connected), the
Drive model and sub-model can be selected from the drop down lists. The model and sub-model
information is found on the label of the SSM integrated motor.
4.1.6 Communication

[phone]
When the SSM Quick Tuner is connected to an SSM Integrated Motor the drive model and
sub-model will cause the communications to be set to RS-232. If SSM Quick Tuner is unable
to connect to the SSM Integrated Motor, manually selecting the communications type may help
establish the connection.
Port
The correct COM port may need to be selected. When the software is loaded, it looks for the rst
available COM port, but may not always nd the one connected to the drive. After a specic COM
port has been selected this setting is saved when the SSM Quick Tuner is closed. If the saved
COM port is available next time Quick Tuner is started it will be automatically selected
Select the port from the drop-down list. If the port exists and is not already in use, the software will
use it to communicate with the SSM.

Uses Check Sum
The SSM Integrated Motor supports using a check
sum in the communication protocol. For more reliable
communications this option can be selected. Checksum
is used automatically when the SSM is being congured,
tuned or operated in the target environment. This can
prevent mis-information being sent to or received back
from the drive.
4.1.7 Servo Enable/Disable
The Enable button energizes the motor and tells it to be
ready to accept motion commands. The Disable button
cuts the current to the motor and it will not be able to
execute motion commands.
The Enable button must be used to re-enable motor
operation after a fault condition has occured. Before the
enable can be used the alarm fault condition must be
cleared. See Alarm Reset below.
4.1.8 Alarms
Indicator
When a fault occurs the Alarm indicator will ash red, a
warning will trigger a ashing orange signal. Green indicates
there is no alarm condition.
Alarm Reset
The Alarm Reset button will clear the alarm and return the signal to green if the alarm condition
can be cleared. In some cases an alarm condition can be persistent and other action may be
required to remedy the condition.
4.1.9 Upload & Download
The Upload button allows the complete set up and tuning parameters from an SSM to be copied
to Quick Tuner. Later these settings can be saved to a PC le (see “File Saving” above). It is very
important to perform an upload from a congured drive so that its conguration is not accidentally
over-written.
The Download button is used to copy settings from Quick Tuner to the drive. Each time the
download button is clicked, all conguration settings will be downloaded to the drive.
