Title: Stepper Motor Demo Code
Post by: garysdickinson on May 02, 2018, 03:10:38 PM

I have attached the PLC program StepperTest V2_01.PC6 to this post.

This is a test program that I wrote about 3 years ago to test a stepper motor-controlled valve.  This is a simplified version of that test code.  

If you are thinking about use the PLC for stepper control, this is an excellent starting point as all of the code can be used and extended for your purposes.

Best regards,

Gary D*ckinson

The stepper motor demo code does not need a user interface.

But, I added one to make this into a stand-alone test system.

I used a Weintek 7" HMI for the user interface.  The attached code will work on any of the Weintek HMIs. You can re-edit it to work on the smaller 4.3" displays.

This post adds the documentation.  I had to do some ugly compression to get this under the forum 200K file size limit.
