Hello,
I’m looking to control a bipolar stepper motor using a stepper motor drive and a compact Logix PLC. Can anyone point me to how to program this ? Is there any instructions or AOI or sample logic I can refer to ?
I understand that most stepper motor drives take in as input a Pos+, Pos- for position ; a Dir+, Dir- for direction and an En+, En- for the power enable.
I see references drawings having both the pos+ and Dir+ inputs connected to 24V but how’s the handling of and what to do with and how to control the Pos- and Dir- from my ladder logic.
Any help or sample is appreciated. Also how can I get position feedback from a stepper motor?
