The new I/O module controls stepper motors with Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP or PROFINET interface to host PC, PLC or PAC.

All control is via UDP over ethernet, and again the basic functionality is there, but some niceties such as motor synchronisation and state querying are again subject to further releases.

The CMMS-ST single-axis position controller combined with the EMMS-ST stepper motor is designed as a comprehensive, easy-to-use package for single and multiple-axis handling with loads of up to 20kg.

Even first-time users can get a stepper motor moving as commanded in 30 min or less. Commands can be issued from any serial terminal program or from the EZ Stepper Windows program, but the EZHR17EN ...

How to Control a Stepper Motor Using a Computer. Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers.

By improving stepper-motor controllers in two key areas—adjustment of the motor-driving current and the method of step-pulse generation—existing mechanisms can deliver that desired BLDC-like ...

Stepper motors are useful in many consumer, industrial, and military applications. Some, such as personal-transportation systems, require precise speed control. Stepper-motor controllers can be simple ...

This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

1. The 28-mm-square TMCM-1321 servo-controller/driver module from Trinamic Motion Control provides sophisticated control of stepper motors, including optimization of speed and synchronization in ...
