OBJECTIVE

The aim of this project is to drive a stepper motor through port programming in C. The serial printer port is programmed to monitor the control of the stepper motor. The motor can be controlled to rotate clockwise or anticlockwise, to accelerate and decelerate and to oscillate.

INTRODUCTION

A stepper motor is brushless, synchronous electric motor that can divide a full rotation into a large number of steps. The motor's position can be controlled precisely, without any feedback mechanism (see open loop control). Stepper motors are similar to switched reluctance motors , which are very large stepping motors with a reduced pole count, and generally are closed-loop commutated.

Stepper motors operate much differently from normal DC motors, which rotate when voltage is applied to their terminals. Stepper motors, on the other hand, effectively have multiple "toothed" electromagnets (a.k.a. phases) arranged around a central gear-shaped piece of iron. The electromagnets are energized by an external control circuit, such as a microcontroller. To make the motor shaft turn, first one electromagnet is given power, which makes the gear's teeth magnetically attracted to the electromagnet's teeth. When the gear's teeth are thus aligned to the first electromagnet, they are slightly offset from the next electromagnet. So when the next electromagnet is turned on and the first is turned off, the gear rotates slightly to align with the next one, and from there the process is repeated. Each of those slight rotations is called a "step." In that way, the motor can be turned a precise angle.

The stepper motor for this project is a unipolar stepper motor that has two windings per phase, one for each direction of current. Since in this arrangement a magnetic pole can be reversed without switching the direction of current, the commutation circuit can be made very simple

(eg. a single transistor) for each winding. Typically, given a phase, one end of each winding is made common: giving three leads per phase and six leads for a typical two phase motor. Often, these two phase commons are internally joined, so the motor has only five leads.

The C program is written to power each electromagnet in turn. Thus each electromagnets are powered one after another to make a complete rotation. The ‘female D-25’ connector of the printer port is programmed for this purpose. For the motor to function properly a driver circuit has been built.

MOTOR DESCRIPTION

TYPE KP39HM2-S07A

1.8 DEG/STEP 0.16A/PHASE

In the above figure the stepper motor has five wires namely Yellow, Brown, Orange, Black and Red. To make the motor rotate in a particular direction (clockwise or anticlockwise), the wires are needed to be connected in a sequence.

For Clockwise rotation the sequence is as follows:Yellow, Brown, Orange, Black. For Anti-Clockwise rotation the sequence is as follows:Black, Orange, Brown, Yellow.

The Red wire in both the cases is kept at a positive voltage.

THEORY

A transistor's collector current is proportionally limited by its base current, it can be used as a sort of current-controlled

switch. A relatively small flow of electrons sent through the base of the transistor has the ability to exert control over a much larger flow of electrons through the collector.

Since the motor used for this project is a 4-Phase motor, therefore only 4 of the 8 Data ports of the Female D-Type Connector(D0-D8) is used.

The 4 ports are programmed to output data in the following manner :

D0

D1

D2

D3

Port 1

1 0 0 0

Port 2

0 1 0 0

Port 3

0 0 1 0

Port 4

0 0 0 1

One port gets activated at a time followed by another. This process continues and the motor rotates. The bases of the transistors are connected to the ports (refer to Connection Diagram) which are activated to control a larger flow of current through the collector which are connected to the motor windings (refer to Connection Diagram). This in turn rotates the motor.

The rectifying diodes protect the transistors from excess current. Integrating all the components the driver circuit has been created. The program controls the working of the motor. The speed of the motor can be controlled, it can be made to rotate clockwise or anticlockwise and made to oscillate.
