Abstract

Stepper motors have long been successfully used in a variety of industrial and special equipment. The advantage of stepper motors is that a high degree of motion control can be achieved. Stepper motors are controlled using microprocessor systems. However, in this case, the stepper motor is controlled by the program loaded into the microcontroller. There is often a need to dynamically change the operation parameters of the stepper motor - speed of rotation, direction and magnitude of the angle of rotation, etc. The work is devoted to the development of the stepper motor control system of the educational transport line, implemented at the Department of Automation of Production Processes of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technology. The system allows you to dynamically change system parameters using either a personal computer (PC) by sending the appropriate commands to the system via the COM port, or by using a tablet by sending the appropriate commands to the system via Bluetooth. Such a system can be used both in the educational process to practice standard stepper motor control techniques and microcontroller programming skills, and in industrial systems that require high-precision mechanism position control.
