■ Step Size
This is the Degrees Per Step by which the platter will
rotate to either a Step command or pulse. The min step
size is 0.1 deg. Step size is always positive. Direction is
controlled by CCW/CW setting for Pulse Input, or the
Step commands. The units can also be changed.
■ Velocity
This is the rotational velocity by which the platter will rotate. The value is
set in RPM (revolutions per minute). The allowable range for the parameter
is 0.01 to 3.00 RPM. Larger load capability can be increased by reducing
the RPM velocity as needed. The units can also be changed.
■ Torque
This is the stepper motor torque for the platter rotation. The value is set in
percent of maximum torque. The allowable range for the parameter is 10.0
to 100.0 %. For most typical applications your will want the torque set to
100%. If you intend to have the platter in constant motion, than you may
wish to set the torque to a lower value such as 70%. This will reduce
heating in the motor and drive circuitry. The SmartTorque feature of the
LT360 automatically reduces the motor torque to 1/2 its normal rotational
power when it is not moving. This provides the advantages of maximum
torque when in motion and reduced power consumption when stationary.
Note: There are small arrow buttons to the right side of the editing fields. To
change a parameter, click ths button and an editing dialog will open.
Changes to the parameters will be sent to the LT360.
