Introduction
This workbook is part of the learning system for automation and technology by Festo Didactic GmbH & Co.
KG. The system provides a solid basis for practice-oriented basic and further training. The training package
TP 1422 deals with the subject of Basic Principles of Stepper Motor Drive Technology.
Special emphasis is placed on the setup, function, connection, range of applications and control of a stepper
motor system on the basis of the requirements for the respective application.
A permanent workstation equipped with a Festo Didactic slotted profile plate and a short-circuit-proof power
supply unit with an output voltage of 24 V DC are prerequisites for setting up the components.
The circuits for exercises 1 to 5 are set up using the TP 1422 equipment set. For exercise 6, you also need an
I/O simulation box and an I/O SysLink cable. These two components are not included in the equipment set.
Technical data for the individual components are also available (sensors, drives, motor controllers, etc.).
