RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] stepper controller - help

Yes please! A short tutorial on this topic would be very helpful.

Dan: For quite a time, now, I have been slightly frustrated that 98% of the
members of our group are more "machinists" than "E.E.'s", so they clearly
have NO clue how a stepper with windings rated at, say, 4 amps, 3 volts,
need
a 24 to 80 VDC supply. The concepts of "current-limiting", voltage-dropping
either via the nasty huge "L-R resistors" of the old "six-wire unipolar
days"
or the more recently-espoused "chopper drive" technique float way above most
of our heads.

Now I readily admit I am too ignernt to explain all this adequately in few
words, but I am CERTAIN some E.E.'s in here like you, Mariss, etc., can do
so
admirably. Thus, it seems a short "tutorial" on what L-reactance does when
stepping-rate exceeds three or four steps per second, and how modern drives
"deal with that" (and why 24 VDC or more is needed in a supply for "four
volt
windings", etc.) would be very, very useful to us "in here"!!! Am I right,
guys?
