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 ...

Stepper motors are brushless and very reliable, since there are no contact brushes inside the motor. Therefore, the life of the motor is simply dependent on the life of the mechanical bearing. A ...

Like the basic model, the version with Modbus TCP has two options for stepper motor maximum phase current – 0.1A to 4.2A for the model SMSD-4.2LAN and 1.0A to 8.0A for the model SMSD-8.0LAN. With such ...

[Neumi] over on Hackaday.IO wanted a simple-to-use way to drive stepper motors, which could be quickly deployed in a wide variety of applications yet to be determined. The solution is named Ethersweep ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...

Designed for medical devices, scientific and optical instruments, embedded automation applications, and other small-footprint devices needing dual-axis motion control, this system is designed to work ...

If you are building a project that needs to control stepper motors wirelessly you might be interested in a new piece of hardware created by the team at Good Robotics which takes the form of the aptly ...

Galil Motion Control announces its latest drive option for the DMC-30000 Pocket Motion Controller Series. Galil Motion Control announces its latest drive option for the DMC-30000 Pocket Motion ...

Never one to pass up the recycle pile at work, [Scott] usually doesn’t find much. A few old hard drives, maybe a ancient laptop every once in a while, but on very rare occasions he finds something ...
