Rotating the HBS Motor in PC Software
Not everyone has a motion controller. Or you may not know what motion controller is and how to
buy one. But you should have a personal computer which has at least one serial port or USB port. You
can rotate the HBS motor in PC software! There is a simple emulating controller that is used for
self-test in the HBS drive. It is not a full functionality controller but it do eliminates the troubles to
setup a real motion controller when you want to test the HBS drives or verify the connection in case
of problem.
However, the performance you see in this emulating controller PC software CAN NOT
represents the actual motion controller
.
Click
Drive Setting
->
Current Loop / Motion Test
to open the test window. Then click the
Motion Test
tab to open the emulating controller. Edit the trapezoid velocity profile and click the
Start
button to
issue the motion.
Power Supply Selection
To achieve good driving performances, it is important to select supply voltage and output current
properly. Generally speaking, supply voltage determines the high speed performance of the motor,
while output current determines the output torque of the driven motor (particularly at lower speed).
Higher supply voltage will allow higher motor speed to be achieved, at the price of more noise and
heating. If the motion speed requirement is low, it
’
s better to use lower supply voltage to decrease
noise, heating and improve reliability.
Regulated or Unregulated Power Supply
Both regulated and unregulated power supplies can be used to supply the drive. If regulated power
supplies (such as most switching supplies.) are indeed used, it is important to have large current
