Post22 Feb 2008 15:26   stepper motor driver circuit with optocouplers

i have a unipolar 2 phase step motor and i have a circuit diagram which designed
with uln 2003. but i need to redesign this circuit by using optocoupler. how can i
do this?

please help

Very Happy

Hi,I am also working with stepper motor(Bi polar) interfacing with dsPIC30f2010.

To use optocoupler, first connect the output of MCU/logic CKT to optocoupler (MCT2E)through inverter and then the collector of opto coupler to input of ULN2003.

you can see the PS2801's Datasheet, maybe it will have some help for you

Post05 Jun 2008 9:55   stepper motor driver circuit with optocouplers

Thank you all guys,
i achieved to drive my step motor by using darlinghton transistors and i also was able to use optocouplers, but now i have a new problem;

my motor cant run high speed although i give it to 1KHz signals.
if frequency is very high,it doesnt run,just vibrate.
but i know it can reach very high rpm.

how can i make it speedy?

If you know this from the data sheet, are your operating conditions according to the datasheet? High step frequencies are generally requiring high voltages at the motor. Mainly bipolar drive, constant current circuits are used in this connection. Simple constant voltage unipolar circuits are rarely usable for above 1 kHz step rate.

Additionally acceleration/deceleration ramps may be necessary with higher step rates (above the start-stop frequency).
