One little thing to mention: The direction pin. This pin "cares" about the logic voltage on it. (The other pin just waits for a pulse, to move one step) As such, one must know which logic value corresponds with which direction - CW, or CCW.
Hi Tim could you help me? I am having the next error on the move absolute module MC_FB_ERR_ PROFILE The function block cannot execute because the motion profile defined in the function block cannot be achieved. Correct the profile in the function block. Could you explain me why is this keep happening and how to resolve it. Thank a lot
When you are wiring something up, you should show a ladder logic diagram or some sort of schematic. This helps things make more sense when there are so many wires and components
small overlooked nuance: Microstepping. Using clever tricks, the driver can offer you many more "stops", than you'd normally get from just the coils in the NEMA motor. It makes no difference to the pulsing. One pulse equals one Microstep. The number of microsteps (aka subdivisions) is configurable on the motor driver itself
Fun fact: when probed, the Pulse signal often looks like a 50% duty cycle. This is incidental, it's because every edge (up or down) counts, and the speed tends to remain consistent, hence giving the appearance of a 50%
