Stepper Motor Template component

Enables the creation of a stepper motor component by specifying objects for its appearance. 'Attach to...' property should be exposed in any components buit from this - this sets a target object to be joined to the motor shaft. The target can then be rotated around the axis with a custom gear ration, or moved linearly according to the pitch of a given lead screw.

Downloadable macro reference

Fc9-comp-macro.png IncrementStep
Move the motor forward by one step. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png SetTarget
Assign a panel object to be moved by the motor. Once linked, the object will respond to the 'Motor Simulation' properties, and it will be moved whenever the motor is stepped. 
[[File:]] - target
An object to be moved by the motor. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png DecrementStep
Move the motor backwards by one step. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png EnableMotor
Turn on the motor. This must be done before it will respond to any other macros. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png DisableMotor
Turn off the motor. It will no longer respond to any other macros. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return



Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Winding Type
The polarity settings of the motor windings. Refer to the data-sheet for your chosen hardware to determine this value. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Step Type
Trade accuracy against torque by changing the type of stepping. Refer to the data-sheet for your chosen hardware to determine which modes your device supports. 
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Steps Per Revolution
The number of steps it takes for the motor shaft to turn a full circle (360 degrees). Refer to the data-sheet for your chosen hardware to determine this value. 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Angle Increment
Amount of change in the shaft angle when the IncrementStep / DecrementStep functions are called. 
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Rotating Part
Select a panel object here that will represent the moving part of the motor - for example, an output shaft or actuator. 
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Rotation Centre
Select a panel object to be the centre of rotation of the 'Rotating Part'. If non is chosen, the 'Rotating Part' will revove around its own axes. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Rotate Around
The axis of the 'Rotaion Centre' object around which the 'Rotating Part' will rotate. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Waveforms
Allows waveforms to be auto generated on the data recorder window. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Coil Simulation
Turn coil simulation on and off. 
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Coil 1
Choose a panel object to represent the first coil. The simulation will automatically change this object's color to visualise when it is energised. 
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Coil 2
Choose a panel object to represent the second coil. The simulation will automatically change this object's color to visualise when it is energised. 
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Coil 3
Choose a panel object to represent the third coil. The simulation will automatically change this object's color to visualise when it is energised. 
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Coil 4
Choose a panel object to represent the fourth coil. The simulation will automatically change this object's color to visualise when it is energised. 
Fc9-type-1-icon.png Colour Non Active Coil
Make coil object this colour when they are NOT energised. 
Fc9-type-1-icon.png Colour Active Coil
Make the coil objects this colour when they ARE energised,. 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Gear Ratio
Set a non-zero value here to make the target object rotate whenever the motor spins. The target will revolve around the same axis as the motor's own 'Moving Part' (e.g. drive shaft). A value of 1.00 make the target spin at the same speed as the motor. Choose other values to set the ratio of a 'virtual gearbox' to change the speed of the target's movement. 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png X Linear Pitch
Set this to a non-zero value to move the target object linearly along its X-Axis whenever the motor spins. The value is the distance to move (world units) per complete rotation of the motor shaft - i.e. it simulates a typical linear drive that uses a lead-screw, with the property value equal to the screw pitch. 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Y Linear Pitch
Set this to a non-zero value to move the target object linearly along its Y-Axis whenever the motor spins. The value is the distance to move (world units) per complete rotation of the motor shaft - i.e. it simulates a typical linear drive that uses a lead-screw, with the property value equal to the screw pitch. 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Z Linear Pitch
Set this to a non-zero value to move the target object linearly along its Z-Axis whenever the motor spins. The value is the distance to move (world units) per complete rotation of the motor shaft - i.e. it simulates a typical linear drive that uses a lead-screw, with the property value equal to the screw pitch.
