SERVO VERSUS STEPPER... WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Motor Types and Their Applications
The following section will give you some idea of the applications that are particularly appropriate for each motor type, together with certain applications that are best avoided. It should be stressed that there is a wide range of applications which can be equally well met by more than one motor type, and the choice will tend to be dictated by customer preference, previous experience or compatibility with existing equipment.
A helpful tool for selecting the proper motor for your application is Compumotor’s Motor Sizing and Selection software package. Using this software, users can easily identify the appropriate motor size and type.
High torque, low speed
continuous duty applications are appropriate to the step motor. At low speeds it is very efficient in terms of torque output relative to both size and input power. Microstepping can be used to improve smoothness in lowspeed applications such as a metering pump drive for very accurate flow control.
High torque, high speed
continuous duty applications suit the servo motor, and in fact a step motor should be avoided in such applications because the high-speed losses can cause excessive motor heating.
Short, rapid, repetitive moves
are the natural domain of the stepper due to its high torque at low speeds, good torque-to-inertia ratio and lack of commutation problems. The brushes of the DC motor can limit its potential for frequent starts, stops and direction changes.
Low speed, high smoothness applications
are appropriate for microstepping or direct drive servos.
Applications in hazardous environments
or in a vacuum may not be able to use a brushed motor. Either a stepper or a brushless motor is called for, depending on the demands of the load. Bear in mind that heat dissipation may be a problem in a vacuum when the loads are excessive.
SELECTING THE MOTOR THAT SUITS YOUR APPLICATION
Introduction
Motion control, in its widest sense, could relate to anything from a welding robot to the hydraulic system in a mobile crane. In the field of Electronic Motion Control, we are primarily concerned with systems falling within a limited power range, typically up to about 10HP (7KW), and requiring precision in one or more aspects. This may involve accurate control of distance or speed, very often both, and sometimes other parameters such as torque or acceleration rate. In the case of the two examples given, the welding robot requires precise control of both speed and distance; the crane hydraulic system uses the driver as the feedback system so its accuracy varies with the skill of the operator. This wouldn’t be considered a motion control system in the strict sense of the term.Our standard motion control system consists of three basic elements:
Fig. 1 Elements of motion control system
The motor. This may be a stepper motor (either rotary or linear), a DC brush motor or a brushless servo motor. The motor needs to be fitted with some kind of feedback device unless it is a stepper motor.
Fig. 2 shows a system complete with feedback to control motor speed. Such a system is known as a closed-loop velocity servo system.
Fig. 2 Typical closed loop (velocity) servo system
The drive. This is an electronic power amplifier thatdelivers the power to operate the motor in response to low-level control signals. In general, the drive will be specifically designed to operate with a particular motor type – you can’t use a stepper drive to operate a DC brush motor, for instance.
Application Areas of Motor Types
Stepper Motors
Stepper Motor Benefits
Stepper motors have the following benefits:
? Low cost
? Ruggedness
? Simplicity in construction
? High reliability
? No maintenance
? Wide acceptance
? No tweaking to stabilize
? No feedback components are needed
? They work in just about any environment
? Inherently more failsafe than servo motors.
There is virtually no conceivable failure within the stepper drive module that could cause the motor to run away. Stepper motors are simple to drive and control in an open-loop configuration. They only require four leads. They provide excellent torque at low speeds, up to 5 times the continuous torque of a brush motor of the same frame size or double the torque of the equivalent brushless motor. This often eliminates the need for a gearbox. A stepper-driven-system is inherently stiff, with known limits to the dynamic position error.
Stepper Motor Disadvantages
Stepper motors have the following disadvantages:
? Resonance effects and relatively long settling
times
? Rough performance at low speed unless a
microstep drive is used
? Liability to undetected position loss as a result of
operating open-loop
? They consume current regardless of load
conditions and therefore tend to run hot
? Losses at speed are relatively high and can cause
excessive heating, and they are frequently noisy
(especially at high speeds).
? They can exhibit lag-lead oscillation, which is
difficult to damp. There is a limit to their available
size, and positioning accuracy relies on the
mechanics (e.g., ballscrew accuracy). Many of
these drawbacks can be overcome by the use of
a closed-loop control scheme.
Note: The Compumotor Zeta Series minimizes or
reduces many of these different stepper motor disadvantages.
There are three main stepper motor types:
? Permanent Magnet (P.M.) Motors
? Variable Reluctance (V.R.) Motors
? Hybrid Motors
When the motor is driven in its full-step mode, energizing two windings or “phases” at a time (see Fig. 1.8), the torque available on each step will be the same (subject to very small variations in the motor and drive characteristics). In the half-step mode, we are alternately energizing two phases and then only one as shown in Fig. 1.9. Assuming the drive delivers the same winding current in each case, this will cause greater torque to be produced when there are two windings energized. In other words, alternate steps will be strong and weak. This does not represent a major deterrent to motor performance—the available torque is obviously limited by the weaker step, but there will be a significant improvement in low-speed smoothness over the full-step mode.
Clearly, we would like to produce approximately equal torque on every step, and this torque should be at the level of the stronger step. We can achieve this by using a higher current level when there is only one winding energized. This does not over dissipate the motor because the manufacturer’s current rating assumes two phases to be energized the current rating is based on the allowable case temperature). With only one phase energized, the same total power will be dissipated if the current is increased by 40%. Using this higher current in the one-phase-on state produces approximately equal torque on alternate steps (see Fig. 1.10).
Fig. 1.8 Full step current, 2-phase on
Fig. 1.9 Half step current
Fig. 1.10 Half step current, profiled
We have seen that energizing both phases with equal currents produces an intermediate step position half-way between the one-phase-on positions. If the two phase currents are unequal, the rotor position will be shifted towards the stronger pole. This effect is utilized in the microstepping drive, which subdivides the basic motor step by proportioning the current in the two windings. In this way, the step size is reduced and the low-speed smoothness is dramatically improved. High-resolution microstep drives divide the full motor step into as many as 500 microsteps, giving 100,000 steps per revolution. In this situation, the current pattern in the windings closely resembles two sine waves with a 90° phase shift between them (see Fig. 1.11). The motor is now being driven very much as though it is a conventional AC synchronous motor. In fact, the stepper motor can be driven in this way from a 60 Hz-US (50Hz-Europe) sine wave source by including a capacitor in series with one phase. It will rotate at 72 rpm.
Fig. 1.11 Phase currents in microstep mode
Standard 200-Step Hybrid Motor
The standard stepper motor operates in the same way as our simple model, but has a greater number of teeth on the rotor and stator, giving a smaller basic step size. The rotor is in two sections as before, but has 50 teeth on each section. The half-tooth displacement between the two sections is retained. The stator has 8 poles each with 5 teeth, making a total of 40 teeth (see Fig. 1.12).
Fig. 1.12 200-step hybrid motor
If we imagine that a tooth is placed in each of the gaps between the stator poles, there would be a total of 48 teeth, two less than the number of rotor teeth. So if rotor and stator teeth are aligned at 12 o’clock, they will also be aligned at 6 o’clock. At 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock the teeth will be misaligned. However, due to the displacement between the sets of rotor teeth, alignment will occur at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock at the other end of the rotor.
The windings are arranged in sets of four, and wound such that diametrically-opposite poles are the same. So referring to Fig. 1.12, the north poles at 12 and 6 o’clock attract the south-pole teeth at the front of the rotor; the south poles at 3 and 9 o’clock attract the north-pole teeth at the back. By switching current to the second set of coils, the stator field pattern rotates through 45°. However, to align with this new field, the rotor only has to turn through 1.8°. This is equivalent to one quarter of a tooth pitch on the rotor, giving 200 full steps per revolution.
Note that there are as many detent positions as there are full steps per rev, normally 200. The detent positions correspond with rotor teeth being fully aligned with stator teeth. When power is applied to a stepper drive, it is usual for it to energize in the “zero phase” state in which there is current in both sets of windings. The resulting rotor position does not correspond with a natural detent position, so an unloaded motor will always move by at least one half step at power-on. Of course, if the system was turned off other than in the zero phase state, or the motor is moved in the meantime, a greater movement may be seen at power-up.
Another point to remember is that for a given current pattern in the windings, there are as many stable positions as there are rotor teeth (50 for a 200-step motor). If a motor is de-synchronized, the resulting positional error will always be a whole number of rotor teeth or a multiple of 7.2°. A motor cannot “miss” individual steps – position errors of one or two steps must be due to noise, spurious step pulses or a controller fault.
Fig. 2.19 Digital servo drive
Digital Servo Drive Operation
Fig. 2.19 shows the components of a digital drive for a servo motor. All the main control functions are carried out by the microprocessor, which drives a D-to-A convertor to produce an analog torque demand signal. From this point on, the drive is very much like an analog servo amplifier.
Feedback information is derived from an encoder attached to the motor shaft. The encoder generates a pulse stream from which the processor can determine the distance travelled, and by calculating the pulse frequency it is possible to measure velocity.
The digital drive performs the same operations as its analog counterpart, but does so by solving a series of equations. The microprocessor is programmed with a mathematical model (or “algorithm”) of the equivalent analog system. This model predicts the behavior of the system. In response to a given input demand and output position. It also takes into account additional information like the output velocity, the rate of change of the input and the various tuning settings.
To solve all the equations takes a finite amount of time, even with a fast processor – this time is typically between 100ms and 2ms. During this time, the torque demand must remain constant at its previously-calculated value and there will be no response to a change at the input or output. This “update time” therefore becomes a critical factor in the performance of a digital servo and in a high-performance system it must be kept to a minimum.
The tuning of a digital servo is performed either by pushbuttons or by sending numerical data from a computer or terminal. No potentiometer adjustments are involved. The tuning data is used to set various coefficients in the servo algorithm and hence determines the behavior of the system. Even if the tuning is carried out using pushbuttons, the final values can be uploaded to a terminal to allow easy repetition.
In some applications, the load inertia varies between wide limits – think of an arm robot that starts off unloaded and later carries a heavy load at full extension. The change in inertia may well be a factor of 20 or more, and such a change requires that the drive is re-tuned to maintain stable performance. This is simply achieved by sending the new tuning values at the appropriate point in the operating cycle.
