TXM24C Hardware Manual
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 PC running Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 or 8
2.1 Installing Software
Before utilizing the TXM24C Integrated Motor and Step-Servo Quick Tuner Software in an
application, the following steps are necessary:
• Download and install the Step-Servo Quick Tuner software from Applied Motion Products
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...Applied Motion Products...Step-Servo
Quick Tuner.
• Apply power to the drive.
• The software will recognize the drive and display the model and firmware version. At this point,
it is ready for use.
2.2 Mounting the Hardware
As with any step motor, the TXM24C must be mounted so as to provide maximum heat sinking
and airflow. Keep enough space around the Integrated Motor to allow for airflow.
• Never use the drive where there is no airflow 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
infiltrate the drive.
• Always provide airflow around the drive.
