Section 2. System Concept
The system application was designed to control stepper motor actuators
from a GUI running on a PC. The PC is connected to the LIN Master
board via RS232 serial ports and they form the master controller. The
LIN Master board is then connected to the LIN Stepper Controller slaves
via a serial single-wire LIN-bus. The master controller can handle
several stepper motor actuators, so it can demonstrate levelling of two
headlamps around vertical and horizontal axes. Each actuator consists
of one stepper motor and LIN Stepper Controller slave node. The
actuators control positioning around a dedicated axis.
The control system consists of the following modules:
•
Personal Computer
•
LIN Master – LIN master node
•
LIN Stepper Controller – LIN slave node
Each module is programmed with dedicated software.
