rpalmier (Customer) asked a question.

The Suremotion Pro software does not list the STP-MTRACH-42202 stepper motor in the setup menu for the STP-DRV-80100 drive. Can someone tell me what the procedure is for this motor?

    The below image is the settings to use for the STP-MTRACH-42202. The gain and phase should be adjusted using the wizard which requires that the motor be online so you can move the shaft until it sounds the best.

    Huh, thats new. When did Automation start selling 42 frame motors?

    I would bet the software isnt updated yet for older model drives to have built-in profiles to the new motors. Looks like Automation really needs to add 2-3 more drive models to support their new stepper motors they sell. Kinda weird to sell the motors and not really have drives that can handle them.

     

    You can select custom motor and input the parameters yourself.

    Rotor Inertia is 16,200 g.cm2

    Rated Current is 8A for series wiring and 16A for parallel wiring (the drive cannot support parallel wiring because of amp load)

    Resistance is .58 ohm for series and .144 ohm for parallel

    Inductance is 12mH for series and 3.2mH for parallel.

     

    As for lead angle, IDK. That isnt in the specs sheet. I would just choose whatever it is for the largest motor in the drive's built-in database as a good starting point.

      I'm guessing Nema 42 stepper usage in almost non-existent these days.

    Great info!

     

    However.. any reason why we are setting it at 25 rev/sec? all other stepping motors have 20 rev/sec .
