The digital display driver adapted to the stepper motor is an important component of the motor control system. It is responsible for converting the control signal into an electrical signal that the stepper motor can recognize, thereby driving the motor to rotate at a predetermined step size and speed. When choosing a digital display driver that is compatible with a stepper motor, multiple factors need to be considered, including the type, specifications, performance requirements, and budget of the motor.
Here is some information about adapting stepper motors to digital drivers:
Drive type
The digital display drivers adapted for stepper motors are mainly divided into two types: open-loop drivers and closed-loop drivers:
Open loop driver: The open loop driver directly controls the phase current and phase sequence of the stepper motor by receiving control signals, thereby driving the motor to rotate. This type of driver has a simple structure and low cost, but its control accuracy and stability are relatively low, making it suitable for situations where control accuracy is not required.
Closed loop driver: The closed-loop driver adds a position feedback mechanism on the basis of the open-loop driver, which monitors the position information of the motor in real time through an encoder or sensor, compares it with the control signal, and adjusts the control parameters to improve control accuracy and stability. Closed loop drivers are suitable for applications that require high control accuracy and stability.
