ABSTRACT:
A control system using a duty cycle converter to convert an analog input into both a second order or velocity squared feedback as well as a set of clockwise and counterclockwise pulse trains the frequency of which is dependent upon the amplitude of the input signal. The velocity squared feedback is augmented by a position feedback from a stepper motor to provide optimum operation. To obtain optimum performance from a stepper motor, the rate of change of input pulses must not exceed a predetermined value for starting or stopping or the motor will react improperly to some of the pulses. The present system provides a linear increase in the step rate to a maximum and then a linear decrease in the step rate such that there is no overshoot beyond the requested analog input signal.
