STEPPER MOTORS DEMYSTIFIED

MOTION CONTROL -

ADVANCED

CONTINUED

You are not just limited to linear moves like this. Another real-world

example would be setting up a turn table on an elektraDRIVE motor

where you just want the motor to turn on and stay on for a certain

period of time.

If you wanted your turn table to spin for 10 minutes, you

could define a motor ON time of 10 minutes at POWER 40

and 1 CYCLE. This would spin the table for 10 minutes and

then stop (1 cycle).

This may sound complicated all written out but once you get some

practical experience with the ORACLE, this will be easier to make sense

of. Adjusting the 4 variables in advanced mode of the ORACLE will

allow you to create just about any move you can imagine for an endless

number of configurations.
