Stellaris步进电机参考设计套件(RDK) 包含设计、开发所需要的所有硬件和软件, 并整合步进电机应用。The Stepper RDK combines the strength and flexibility of Stellaris microcontrollers with Fairchild Semiconductor's gate drivers and MOSFETs to create an advanced stepper motor control design that has been carefully engineered for performance, cost, and flexibility. Stepper motors are particularly suited for use in two- and three-axis CNC equipment, sorting and grading equipment, specialized printers and scanners, and factory automation.
特性
The Stepper RDK contains the new feature-rich Stellaris LM3S617 microcontroller designed for motion control applications, a Fairchild Semiconductor power stage consisting of Fairchild's FAN73832 HVIC Driver and FDMS3672 MOSFET, a NEMA23 stepper motor, a graphical control program for Windows?, and accompanying cables, source code, and documentation. The Stepper RDK takes advantage of the integrated features of the Stellaris microcontroller and the processing power of the Cortex?-M3 core to implement software-based chopper control without the need for an external step controller or comparator circuits. The graphical control program allows you to experiment with varying drive parameters and observe the effect on motor performance.The Stepper Reference Design Kit includes the following product features:
Software-based chopper control to operate high-torque steppers at high step rates
Fast and slow decay modes
Full step and half step modes
High step rates up to 10,000 steps/sec
Programmable holding current
Virtual COM port through integrated USB
Support for external debugger through standard 20-pin ARM header
Easy power and motor connection using pluggable terminal blocks
Bootloader for firmware upgrades over serial port
