Abstract

There has been a great interest in the design and development of modular computer numerical control (CNC) units which control and monitor several motion devices such as stepper motors. Power integrated circuit controller/driver-based multi-axes are extensively used in industry and other market sectors with modular CNC systems. Existing commercially available full circuit controller boards employ a complete set of commercially available driver/controller chips for each stepper motor. This paper describes how it is possible, by using a single driver and multi-task efficient algorithms, to design a low-cost controller for simultaneous and independent control of multi-axes stepper motors. This will lead to less power consumption, low cost, compact circuit, and a highly reliable controller for CNC systems. The software developed and the hardware testing were done using a 68000 Development System Board with the Orental stepper motor PH264-0213.
