Stepping Motor Control System (opens in new tab)

Stepping Motor Control System Larson, Noble G. This paper describes a hardware system designed to facilitate position and velocity control of a group of eight stepping motors using a PDP-11. The system includes motor driver cards and other interface cards in addition to a special digital control module. The motors can be driven at speeds up to 3000 rpm. Position feedback is provided by shaft encoders, but tachometers are not used. This report describes research done at the Artificial Intellig...
