Abstract
This paper presents a method for Stepper Motor (SM) speed control by means of a minor loop. The compatibility of the SM with the digital electronics allowed a PC to be used for implementing the control algorithm, the SM control being achieved by two hardware interface levels. The SM command is realized with two specialized circuits: L297 (SM controller) and L298N (driver). The control signals for this level are generated through a parallel port 18255 and a programmable timer 18253. Some other circuits complete the microprocessor interface. The software has the following tasks: speed measurement and control algorithm achievement of a PI type. To tune this controller the system characteristics are measured, when the system is unstable, having a relay instead of the PI part. There are treated aspects on choosing the sample period, the position transducer, and the type of speed measurement.
