wlewis Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Is it possible to use a GeoBrick LV to drive a five phase stepper motor? If so, do you have any details on how to configure the controller for this type of motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest majidy Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Sina recently worked with a customer and I am copying the procedure you need to do: Here is how we can run a 5-phase stepper motor with Geo Brick LV: Setup the amplifier channels 1 and 2 for brushless motors. Set the phase offset for 360/5=72 degrees: Ix72=410 Setup the microstepping as described in the manual for Geo Brick LV. Point the Ix83 of motor 2 to the same register as Ix83 of motor 1. Set Ix75 of motor 1 to 0 and set the Ix75 of motor 2 to 288*Ix71/360 or 52428 for 65536 microstepping described in manual. Upon initialization, use SETPHASE1,2 command to force the motor 2 to have 288 degrees offset compared with motor 1. Define both motors as the same axis on PMAC Is it possible to use a GeoBrick LV to drive a five phase stepper motor? If so, do you have any details on how to configure the controller for this type of motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
