New microstepping drive range with multiple
communication options: Applied Motion Products’
new STF series open loop stepper drives feature
industrial Ethernet, CANopen and Modbus
protocols.
New from Applied Motion Products Inc. (AMP) and
available with full support from the UK motion
control specialists Mclennan, STF series open loop
microstepping drives are designed for optimal
use where machine builders and OEMs prefer to
integrate industrial Ethernet or other industry
standard fieldbus protocols into automation
control systems.
These intelligent drives offer a choice of interfaces
that include EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, CANopen,
Modbus, Ethernet (UDP & TCP), and RS-485.
Various operational modes, dependent on the
communication interface, include the ability to
stream motion commands from the host controller
or store complete programs which can be host
controlled for multiple axis synchronisation.
Furthermore, a compliment of 8 digital inputs
and 4 digital outputs provide local control of
machine functions. All STF drives include dual-
port communications to enable daisy-chain
connections for multiple drives, HMIs or other
connected devices back to the host controller.
STF series microstepping drives are available in
three power versions covering up to 3.0, 6.0 and
10.0 A/phase. AMP’s well proven drive architecture
includes advanced current control with anti-
resonance and torque ripple smoothing that will
ensure maximum performance and optimal power
over a wide speed range.

NEMA microstepping
motors (two-phase, bipolar)
from size 8 to size 34 – available from Mclennan.
The panel mounted STF series includes protection
for short circuit, over & under voltage, and over
temperature. For installation convenience, all
are DC powered – 12...48 VDC for the 3 A and 6 A
versions and 24...70 VDC for the 10 A version.
Mclennan supplies and fully supports the
comprehensive range of AMP stepper and
servo based motion control products. Complete
specifications for the STF series are available on
