The linear stepper motor is an electromagnetic actuator that provides precise linear motion in incremental steps. It converts input pulses into controlled linear displacement, velocity, and acceleration without the need for feedback systems. This makes it ideal for applications requiring high accuracy and reliability, such as CNC machines, robotics, and precision automation. One of the most critical performance metrics of a linear stepper motor is its positioning accuracy, which can be significantly enhanced through the use of subdivision circuits. A typical control system for a linear stepper motor includes several key components: a frequency modulation circuit, a subdivision circuit, a drive circuit, a keyboard display interface, and memory expansion modules. These elements work together to ensure smooth and accurate operation. The subdivision circuit plays a crucial role by improving the resolution of the motor's movement. Instead of relying solely on basic pulse signals, which offer limited precision, the subdivision circuit generates sine and cosine waveforms with adjustable frequencies and amplitudes. In this design, a single-chip microcontroller (MCU) is used to generate the required sine and cosine signals. These signals are then converted from digital to analog using a D/A converter. The MCU outputs different digital values at regular intervals, representing the sine and cosine function values at specific points in time. This approach allows for high-resolution control over the motor’s motion. For example, with a 10-bit D/A converter and a subdivision level of 100, the system can achieve a positioning accuracy of up to 0.04 mm. To adjust the speed of the motor, the frequency of the sine and cosine signals must be modulated. This is done using a timer within the MCU, where the timing constant is adjusted based on the output of an ADC0809. By changing the analog input to the ADC, the frequency of the signals can be controlled, allowing for dynamic speed adjustments. The software implementation of the subdivision circuit uses pre-calculated sine and cosine tables stored in the MCU’s memory. Rather than calculating these values in real-time, which would consume significant processing power, the system looks up the pre-stored values. This not only improves efficiency but also ensures smoother and more accurate signal generation. The hardware design involves using external ICs like the AD7520 D/A converter, which requires careful handling due to its lack of a built-in latch. The 8031 MCU sends data in two parts—first the higher 2 bits, then the lower 8 bits—using additional latches to ensure the correct 10-bit data is sent to the D/A converter. The amplitude of the sine and cosine signals is also adjustable by modifying the reference voltage (VREF). Overall, this system demonstrates how modern microcontroller-based designs can enhance the performance of linear stepper motors. With improved subdivision techniques and optimized hardware, the motor achieves both high precision and reliable operation, making it suitable for advanced industrial and scientific applications.
