0x8D00-03 – Stepper – Microsteps per full step

INFORMATION

Please note that simply switching to microstep mode with a high resolution does not mean that the motor can actually perform these fine steps. External influences and structural factors such as internal friction, tolerances and lubrication of the bearings can cause the rotor to be unable to follow the control signal.

This object specifies the number of microsteps for motor control. A motor is usually controlled in full-step or half-step mode. With each pulse, the current in the motor windings are switched on or off according to a certain pattern. This causes the motor to rotate abruptly by a small angle. This causes torque ripples which can disrupt operation. You can prevent abrupt movements of the motor shaft by switching to microstep mode. In this mode the winding currents are not switched on/off; instead they are output in the form of a continuous sine or cosine curve.
