2.4.5.2 Carriage Motor Control

The carriage motor control system is an open-loop system. There are two basic phase switching speeds:

450

(l-1 phase drive) and 900

(2-2 phase drive), as shown below. The phase switching is

performed according to the time data (time required to switch a phase) which is determined by the

firmware, for the number of counts determined by the firmware. Figure 2-19 shows the basic phase

switching patterns.
