1 Foreword
The compact stand-alone SC6 drive controller allows for sensorless control of STOBER LM series Lean motors. These motors
provide energy efficiency at the performance level of a synchronous servo motor. They also guarantee high investment
protection, thanks to energy efficiency class IE5 and the corresponding higher efficiency compared to IE4 asynchronous
motors. However, the SC6 can also be used in combination with asynchronous motors or synchronous servo motors with
encoders (e.g. the STOBER EZ series). The SC6 is available in three sizes with a nominal output current of up to 19A: sizes 0
and 1 as a double-axis controller, size 2 as a single-axis controller.
Features
§Sensorless position control by STOBER Lean motors
§Control of rotary synchronous servo motors, asynchronous motors and torque motors
§HIPERFACE DSL One Cable Solution
§Electronic motor nameplate via HIPERFACE DSL or EnDat 2.2 digital encoder interface
§Integrated EtherCAT or PROFINET communication
§STO safety technology using terminals or STO and SS1 using FSoE (Safety over EtherCAT): SIL3, PLe (cat.4)
§Integrated brake control
§Single-ended nominal power consumption on double-axis controllers for operation of motors with different power
§Energy supply over DC link connection

2 User information
This documentation covers the SC6 drive controller. You will receive support for the assembly of the individual modules
along with the associated components that you will need to operate the drive controllers in the control cabinet.
You will also find information on wiring the modules correctly and checking their functionality in the group with an initial
test.
Information
To ensure proper functionality, we recommend using cables from STOBER that are matched to the complete system. If
unsuitable connection cables are used, we reserve the right to reject claims under the warranty.

3.3 Intended use
As defined by DIN EN 50178, SC6 drive controllers are electrical devices operating as power electronics to control the flow
of energy in high-voltage systems. They are intended solely for the operation of STOBER LM series Lean motors,
synchronous servo motors (e.g. from the STOBER EZ series), asynchronous motors or torque motors.
The connection of other electronic loads or operation outside applicable technical specifications constitutes improper use.
When installing drive controllers in machines, commissioning (i.e. commencing intended operation) may not be performed
until it has been determined that the machine is in compliance with provisions from the following EC and EU directives:
§Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
§Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
§EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
EMC-compliant installation
The SC6 drive controller and accessories must be installed and wired compliant for EMC
Modification
As the user, you may not make any physical, technical or electrical modifications to the SC6 drive controller and the
accessories.
Maintenance
The SC6 drive controller and accessories are maintenance-free. For the safety module, take appropriate measures to detect
or prevent possible errors in the connection wiring.
Product life span
A drive controller with integrated safety module must be taken out of operation 20 years after the production date. The
production date of the drive controller is found on the accompanying nameplate.
3.4 Transport and storage
Inspect the delivery for any transport damage immediately after you receive it. Notify the transport company of any
damage immediately. Do not put a damaged product into operation.
To ensure the faultless and safe operation of the products, they must be professionally configured, installed, operated and
maintained. If you have to transport or store the products, you must protect them from mechanical impacts and vibrations
as well as observe the recommended transport and storage conditions in the technical data.
Store the products in a dry and dust-free room if you do not install them immediately.

3.5 Operational environment and operation
The products are subject to sales restrictions in accordance with IEC 61800-3.
The products are not designed for use in a public low-voltage network that supplies residential areas. Radio-frequency
interference can be expected if the products are used in this type of network.
The products are designed exclusively for operation in TN networks.
The products are intended exclusively for installation in control cabinets with at least protection class IP54.
Always operate the products within the limits specified by the technical data.
The following applications are prohibited:
§Use in potentially explosive atmospheres
§Use in environments with harmful substances as specified by EN 60721, such as oils, acids, gases, vapors, dust and
radiation
Implementation of the following applications is permitted only after approval from STOBER:
§Use in non-stationary applications
§The use of active components (drive controllers, supply modules, energy recovery units or discharge units) from third-
party manufacturers
The drive controller is exclusively intended for operation in TN networks and only suitable for use in supply grids. At
480VAC, the drive controllers are permitted to supply a maximum symmetrical nominal short-circuit current in accordance
with the following table:
Size Max. symm. nominal short-circuit current
Size 0 – Size 2 5000A
Tab. 1: Maximum symmetrical nominal short-circuit current of the drive controller

3.6 Working on the machine
Before all work on machines and systems, apply the 5 safety rules in accordance with DIN VDE 0105-100 (Operation of
electrical installations – Part 100: General requirements) in the order listed:
§Disconnect (also ensure that the auxiliary circuits are disconnected).
§Ensure power cannot be switched on again.
§Ensure that everything is de-energized.
§Ground and short circuit.
§Cover adjacent live parts.
Information
Note that the you can only determine that voltage is no longer present once the discharge time has elapsed. The discharge
time depends on the self-discharge of the drive controller. You can find the discharge time in the general technical data of
the drive controller.
3.7 Decommissioning
In safety-oriented applications, note the length of use TM = 20 years in the safety-relevant key performance indicators.
Detailed information about using the safety technology can be found in the corresponding manual, see the chapter Detailed
information [}202].
3.8 Disposal
Observe the current national and regional regulations when disposing of the product! Dispose of the individual product
parts depending on their properties, e.g. as:
§Electronic waste (circuit boards)
§Plastic
§Sheet metal
§Copper
§Aluminum
§Battery
3.9 Firefighting
DANGER!
Electrical voltage! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
There is a risk of fatal injury due to electric shock when using conductive firefighting equipment.
▪ Use ABC powder or carbon dioxide (CO2) for firefighting.

4 System configuration
For connecting to a controller, we recommend the PROFINET fieldbus in combination with the STOBER Drive Based
application. As an alternative, you can use the EtherCAT fieldbus and an application with a CiA 402 interface. You
commission the drive controller using the DriveControlSuite software.
The drive controllers offer the STO safety function in accordance with EN 61800-5-2 as an option. For connection to a
higher-level safety circuit, different interfaces are available.
