Technical support / Stepper Motor Help
« on: June 06, 2003, 01:21:55 AM »
We are hoping to use an m series PLC to control a stepper motor for positioning and incorporate an analogue proximity switch to detect any failed steps or moves.
Ideally we need a 1.8degree stepper to move 50steps (90degrees) in 60 to 100milliseconds.  Does this sound likely taking PLC scan times into account.
We are considering DPM or Sanyo steppers and Drives, any other cheap suggestions welcome.

Technical support / 'S' Curve accelleration of Stepper Motors

Thanks for previous help on Steppers.
We are now trying to run stepper fast, 70 full steps in 50 milliseconds then -70 steps in the next 50 milliseconds repeating cycle continuously.    Is it possible to have an 's' shaped accel/deccel profile using Tbasic, as we think this may help our application.

thanks

Tim
