The Applied Motion Products STAC6-S is an AC advanced microstep drive with encoder feedback for closed-loop stepper motor control. It delivers up to 6.0 A/phase (peak-of-sine) output and operates from single-phase 94–135 VAC, 50/60 Hz input. The drive supports multiple control modes including Step & Direction, velocity control with joystick operation, and streaming serial commands via RS-232 or RS-485, plus multi-axis stored program capability through SiNet Hub connectivity.
## Technical Specifications
**Motor Control & Performance**

## Key Features
• 7 optically isolated digital inputs (5–12 V, 200 ns minimum pulse width)
• 3 optically isolated digital outputs
• 2 single-ended analog inputs, configurable as 1 differential input
• Analog input range: software selectable (0–5V, ±5V, 0–10V, ±10V) with 10–12 bit resolution
• RS-232 for configuration and programming
• RS-485 for serial networking up to 32 axes
• Compatible with NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 frame step motors
## Control Modes
• Step & Direction (A/B quadrature, CW/CCW pulse)
• Velocity with joystick operation
• Streaming Serial Command (SCL) via RS-232 or RS-485
