The
recommended
system
frictional
load
for a
step
motor
is
approximately 5% of
the
motor's
maximum
torque
capability.
For
motor
specifications
and
speed/torque
curves,
refer to
Chapter
6,
Hardware Reference.
The
step-to-step
accuracy
of
the
step
motor
should
not
be
confused
with
the
motors
absolute accuracy. Absolute
accuracy
is
based
on
the
quality of
the
mechanical
construction
of
the
motor.
This
means
that
tuning
of
an
open-loop
stepper
motor
and
drive
will
not
improve
this
spec.
On
the
other
hand,
the
drive electrOnics
are
responsible for
adjusting
current
in
the
two
phases
of
the
motor
which
create
the
m1crosteps found between
each
1.8
0
full
motor
step.
The
amount
of
distance
each
step
can
vary is referred to
as
the
step-to-step
accuracy
of
the
system
and
it
may
be possible to
improve
this
by
tuning.
The
motor
should
be
tuned
to
its
drive while
under
nonnal
loaded conditions.
Tuning
prior
to
this
is
useless
since
changes
in
the
load
or
the
system's
transmission
will
result
in
a new
natural
frequency for
the
motor.
Tuning
the
drive affects
the
profile of
current
being
sent
to
the
motor. You will
need
to
re-tune
the
drive
if
the
current
setting
switches
are
changed. Refer to
Chapter
6 for valid settings for
DIP switches 1
through
5.
When
using
the
AX
Drive,
the
built-in
indexer
will solve
this
problem. Using
an
RS-232C
communications
device, place
the
AX
in
Mode
Continuous
(MC)
and
use
the
Acceleration (A)
and
the
Velocity
(V)
commands
to
get
the
motor
moving,
then
vary
the
velocity
using
the
Immediate Velocity
(VC)
command.
