Abstract

According to the applications of stepping motor in industrial controlling fields, an intelligent control system is designed based on personal computer and single chip machine in this paper. The working principle and control mode of stepping motor are introduced firstly. Then, the hardware of single chip machine system is introduced; especially the crystal oscillator circuit, driving circuit, power circuit, LED display circuit, watchdog circuit and serial communication circuit are analyzed in details. Finally the software including motor controlling program, communication program and human-machine interface program are designed. The practice showed that the system has the characters of good performance and low cost, so it can be widely used in stepping motor controlling.

Highlights

Stepping motor is a kind of mechanical and electrical control device which convert electric pulse signal into a corresponding angular displacement or linear displacement
Stepper motors provide a means for precise positioning and speed control without the use of feedback sensors. It is widely used in many fields such as automatic control systems, electro-mechanics system, precision machinery and other fields (Benetta et al, 2012)
The difference between stepper motor and the ordinary motor is the form of pulse driving, just for this characteristic, the stepper motor can combine with modern digital control technology (Xiang, 2008)

Introduction

Stepping motor is a kind of mechanical and electrical control device which convert electric pulse signal into a corresponding angular displacement or linear displacement. Stepper motors provide a means for precise positioning and speed control without the use of feedback sensors. It is widely used in many fields such as automatic control systems, electro-mechanics system, precision machinery and other fields (Benetta et al, 2012). The difference between stepper motor and the ordinary motor is the form of pulse driving, just for this characteristic, the stepper motor can combine with modern digital control technology (Xiang, 2008). With the development of digital technology and improvement of control technology, the stepper motor will be more widely used in many fields (Thulasiraman et al, 2010)
