8.3.2.2 Stepper Motor Speed

Next, the driving waveform needs to be planned. In order to command the correct speed, determine the frequency of the input waveform.

If the target motor speed is too high, the motor will not spin. Make sure that the motor can support the target speed.

For a desired motor speed (v), microstepping level (nm), and motor full step angle (θstep),

Equation 2. GUID-FF5F0738-FBD3-4167-A8F6-484E813A45E4-low.gif

θstep can be found in the stepper motor data sheet or written on the motor itself.

The frequency ƒstep gives the frequency of input change on the device. For the design parameters mentioned in Table 8-1, ƒstep can be calculated as 600 Hz.
