Figure 3-6: Torque and position reference in the open loop stepper mode

Note the following:

PN[4] sets the scale between the position command and the electrical angle rotation.
PN[4] may be viewed as the “micro-stepping ratio”: There are PN[4]/4 position counts
per step.

For open loop stepping of rotary motors, XM[2]-XM[1] must be an integer multiple

of PN[4], otherwise stepping angle jumps will appear on position modulo transitions.

HT[1] is the holding torque in Amp: the amount of current in the motor when its position
is steady.

HT[2] and HT[3] enable the insertion of extra torque to compensate for increased speed
and acceleration. The units of HT[2] are in Amp/(Count/Sec) and the units for HT[3] are
in Amp/(Count/Sec

2

).

HT[2] and HT[3] are defined differently for open loop and closed loop stepper

control (see PN[9]).
