In a stepping motor, the flux linkage with a phase winding is a function of rotor position and phase current. Employing inductance saliency to detect rotor position is suitable for hybrid stepping motor (HSM) for its saturation feature. This paper will introduce a position closed-loop control system for HSM with rotor position detection by monitoring chopping characteristics, and present simulation results based on Matlab/Simulink.

Owing to the benefits of programmable and parallel processing of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), they have been widely used for the realization of digital controllers and motor drive systems. Furthermore, they can be used to integrate several functions as an embedded system. In this paper, based on Matrix Laboratory (Matlab)/Simulink and the FPGA chip, we design and implement a stepper motor drive. Generally, motion control systems driven by a stepper motor can be in open-loop or closed-loop form, and pulse generators are used to generate a series of pulse commands, according to the desired acceleration/run/deceleration, in order to the drive system to rotate the motor. In this paper, the speed and position are designed in closed-loop control, and a vector control strategy is applied to the obtained rotor angle to regulate the phase current of the stepper motor to achieve the performance of operating it in low, medium, and high speed situations. The results of simulations and practical experiments based on the FPGA implemented control system are given to show the performances for wide range speed control.

The essential advantage of the conventional stepping motor drive technique bases on step command pulses is the ability of open-loop positioning. By ruling out the cost of a position sensor, stepping motors are preferred in low power positioning applications. However, machine developers also want to obtain high dynamics with these small and cheap stepping motors. For that reason, stepping motors are used at its limits as much as possible. A drawback of the open-loop control is the continuous risk of missing a step due to overload. Due to this uncertainty, robustness is a major issue in stepping motor applications. Until today, to reduce the possibility of step loss, the motor is typically driven at maximum current level or is over-dimensioned with results in low-efficiency. Therefore in this paper, a self-learning [Formula: see text]-controller optimizing the current is presented. Moreover, to allow broad industrial applicability, this technique is computationally simple, needs no mechanical or electrical parameter knowledge and take into account the unique character of stepping motors and their conventional drive technique based on step command pulses. The proposed algorithm is validated through measurements on a hybrid stepping motor.
