Title
Open loop control of a stepping motor with step loss detection and stall detection using back-EMF based load angle estimation
Author
Abstract
Stepping motors are the most used electrical machines for low power positioning. The drive controls the machine so that the rotor performs a fixed angular displacement after each step command pulse. Counting the step command pulses enables open-loop positioning. The vast majority of the stepping motor systems is driven in open-loop. When the rotor hits an obstacle stall occurs. Step loss due to overload is another typical problem with stepping motor driven systems. Both phenomena are not detected in open-loop which causes loss of synchronism. In this paper, a sensorless load angle estimator is used to detect step loss and stall. This algorithm is based on the typical stepping motor drive algorithms and does not depend on mechanical load parameters. The method therefore has a broad industrial relevance.
