摘要: A method and a circuit arrangement for damping stepper motor resonances during operation of a stepper motor, in particular in the medium and high speed range, is described, wherein the coils of the stepper motor are each connected into a bridge circuit comprising semiconductor switches, in order to impress into the coils a predetermined target coil current. The resonance damping is achieved by activating a passive FD-phase in the zero crossing of the target coil current, during which all semiconductor switches are opened or switched blocking, in order to thereby feed a coil current flowing in the related motor coil back into the supply voltage source either via inverse or body diodes and/or via diodes connected in parallel to the semiconductor switches in the reverse direction between the positive supply voltage and ground potential.

摘要: A method and a circuit assembly are described with which, in a stepper motor, a mechanical load applied to the motor shaft of which can be detected without a sensor in a voltage-based operating mode in which a nominal coil current is generated by applying a predetermined coil voltage (Us) to the coil. The coil is connected in a bridge branch of a bridge circuit formed from a first to fourth semiconductor switch (S1, . . . S4), wherein the predetermined coil voltage (Us) is applied to the coil with a variable duty cycle (T) by switching the semiconductor switch in the form of at least one PWM voltage (U(A1), U(A2)). The motor load is detected in the form of a load indicator signal (L) which represents a phase shift between a zero crossing of the predefined coil voltage (Us) and the next zero crossing of the coil current (Icoil) generated thereby, wherein a zero crossing of the coil current (Icoil) is defined when, in those time intervals (tm) in which the PWM voltage (U(A1), U(A2)) applied to the coil is zero, a polarity change occurs in a voltage dropping across the internal resistances of the semiconductor switches due to the coil current.

摘要: A method and a circuit arrangement for damping stepper motor resonances during operation of a stepper motor (M), in particular in the medium und high speed range, is described, wherein the coils (A; B) of the stepper motor (M) are each connected into a bridge circuit (Br1; Br2) comprising semiconductor switches (Sw1, . . . Sw4), in order to impress into the coils (A; B) a predetermined target coil current (ISollA; ISollB). The resonance damping is essentially achieved by activating a passive FD-phase in the zero crossing of the target coil current (ISollA; ISollB), during which all 10 semiconductor switches (Sw1, . . . Sw4) are opened or switched blocking, in order to thereby feed a coil current flowing in the related motor coil (A; B) back into the supply voltage source either via inverse or body diodes and/or via diodes (D1, . . . D4) connected in parallel to the semiconductor switches (Sw1, . . . Sw4) in the reverse direction between the positive supply voltage (+VM) and ground potential.

摘要: Described is a method and a circuit arrangement for controlling a stepper motor in a voltage-controlled or voltage-regulated operating mode, having a bridge circuit provided for a motor coil (A) with semiconductor switches (HS1, HS2, LS1, LS2) for applying a first and a second PWM voltage (U(LA1), U(LA2)) having opposite polarity to the motor coil (A) and having a charge pump for switching at least the high-side semiconductor switch (HS1, HS2) of the bridge circuit. Because the charge pump must wait for a blocking or dead time before a further semiconductor switch can be switched after switching a first semiconductor switch, the time interval between a rising edge of one of the two PWM voltages and a subsequent rising edge of the respective other PWM voltage is increased at least until the blocking or dead time of the charge pump has elapsed.
