Hello
I am programming conveyor using stepper motor.
It's more complicated than ordinary motor, I don't have much experience with stepper.
I use SMD23E2 stepper (3in1: MOTOR + DRIVE + CONTROLLERS)
Some output tags names:
Absolute_move (Bool)
Relative_move (Bool)
Hold_Move (Bool)
Resume_Move (Bool)
Immesiate_Stop (Bool)
Position_or_Distance : dependence on use Absolute or Relative mode (unit is 'step')
Encoder_Enable (Bool)
Encoder_Value
...
this is manual for Tags

Can you add a conveyor that use stepper
I'm really grateful for that
Thank
After programming a project, I found that the required tags outputs for the conveyor using stepper are:
Position_or_Distance: motor destination
Absolute_move (Bool)
Relative_move (Bool)
Hold_Move (Bool)
Resume_Move (Bool)
jog_CW: motor forward
jog_CCW: motor backward
Motor_position: is a feedback of the position of the motor as it moves (like encoder but it count step of moteur more precis)
HI!
There are a large number of types of stepper motors on the market with different types of management.
Each user can design this operation using a UDC and using the script language functions to program its operation.
However, it will be taken into consideration for future updates, thank you very much for the suggestion.
