Stepper Ramp EDP

COMPONENT SUMMARY

EDP = (E)nable (D)irection (P)ulse controller setup commonly uses Pull Down settings.

Component Items

Fully customizable for use on automation projects.

INPUTS

STEPS = The total number of steps to be taken.

START = Reset to zero count and begin sequence.

STOP = Reset to zero count and stop all movement.

OUTPUTS

STEP COUNT = The current step in the sequence.

ENA = Enable the stepper driver.

DIR= Set the direction of travel for the stepper.

PUL = Send the step pulse to the stepper driver.

PROPERTIES

Ramp Up/Down, High/Low timing delays, and Direction reversable.

STEPS

ACCEL = Total number of steps used to reach the maximum step timing. This example - 50 / 8 = 6.25, OR 8 steps 6 Millis apart.

DECEL = Total number of steps used to SLOW to a halt from maximum timing. Same math as ACCEL.

DELAY

HIGH = The longest timing delay amount. ALSO used to get timing millis math for ACCEL and DECEL.

LOW = The smallest amount of time between steps. This is a COMMON cause of issues, raising it slows down the stepper.

REVERSE

Warning - BUGGY still.

This setting controls if the stepper makes a RETURN trip after initial sequence.
