Under normal circumstances the operation of the motor is monitored and control is applied using open loop like a standard stepper motor.
Closed loop current control stepper motor.
The most advanced closed loop stepper control method is to operate the motor as a two phase brushless bldc motor.
Closed loop stepper drive systems often require.
Note that many stepper motors have two phases offset by 90 whereas brushless dc motors have three phases offset by 120 this method is referred to as servo stepper or closed loop stepper control.
Common names for this architecture include closed loop stepper control or servo stepper.
Closed loop step motor the encoder is used as a feedback source in a position loop which adjusts the torque requirements in real time.
The rotor position detection sensor monitors the rotation speed and amount.
Small form factor efficient and protected power stag with fault feedback advanced digital processing for smooth and accurate closed loop control accurate angle and current feedback sense for high resolution micro stepping.
The encoder is also being used in a current loop to determine the proper electrical angle to apply to the motor.
Closed loop stepper systems supply the motor with just enough current to control the load and this results in much less audible noise than open loop setups.
