Hi all,

I am sudheervemana working on position control of a stepper motor in the devicenet network. I have implemented the motion profile considering the position mode alone using the trapezoidal profile. Do i need to go for the velocity mode, where my final application is to control the position of an stepper motor?

Can anyone explain me the main difference between the positon and velocity mode, and which profile should i implement if i choose the velocity mode?

Regards,
Sudheervemana.

 

Hello Sudheervemana,
This is first time i join this web!!
I am working in Motion Control Field more than one year, may be i can share with you what i have seen from this experieance.....

Friend, your application is single axis stand-alone? Position Mode with trapezoidal profile is the normally suite for positioning control for stepper application. Machine design pick and place, point to point, drug and drop.....etc

Velocity Mode normally apply in Servo Control application, where motor speed control is the main concern of machine application.
