Application of PLC Pulse Command in the Step Motor Position Control

Abstract

Mitsubishi FX2n series PLC's CPU module comes with high-speed pulse output channels. Using these channels, you can achieve position control of stepper motor. This article describes the use of high-speed pulse output instruction on the stepper motor control to achieve the design points. Contents include: key issues of PLC equipment selection, use of pulse command, and the stepper motor selection and setting.
