Getting Started
The basic procedures for integrating a Bimba drive into your application are the same for every drive offered. The
rst step is to congure and/or tune the drive using either Bimba IQ
®
Stepper or Bimba IQ
®
Servo. Depending on
the specic drive, the user may now use SCL Utility or Bimba IQ
®
Programmer software for testing and advanced
programming.
Servo Drives
• This series includes all SRV-DC7, SRV-AC3, and SRV-AC5 drives.
• For Ethernet-enabled drives, see Appendix G of this document and your drive’s Hardware Manual for
information regarding Ethernet communications.
• Use Bimba IQ
®
Servo software to tune and congure your drive. See the Bimba IQ
®
Servo Software Manual
for details on tuning servo drives.
• For SCL applications choose the SCL Operating Mode; for Q applications choose either the SCL or Q
Program Operating Mode.
• For SCL applications, the SCLB Setup Utility is a useful tool to gain familiarity with the SCL command syntax
and to test commands that will be used in the nal product.
• For Q applications use Bimba IQ
®
Servo both for creating stored programs and for sending commands to
your drive.
Stepper Drives
• This series includes all STP-10, ITM-23Q, and STP-AC5 drives.
• For Ethernet-enabled drives, see Appendix G of this document and your drive’s Hardware Manual for
information regarding Ethernet communications.

Stepper software to dene your motor, congure the operating mode and encoder (if
applicable), as well as any application-specic I/O requirements.
• For SCL applications choose the SCL Operating Mode; for Q applications choose either the SCL or Q
