• The popular stepper motor used for demonstration in laboratories has a step size of 1.8° (i.e.,
200 steps per revolution).
• This motor consist of four stator winding and require four switching sequence as shown.
• The basic step size of the motor is called fult-step.
• By altering the switching sequence, the motor can be made to run with incremental motion of half the full-step value. The switching sequence for half step rotation is shown.

• A two-phase or four winding stepper motor is shown. The system consist of 8085 microprocessor as CPU, EPROM and RAM memory for program & data storage and for stack.

• Using INTEL 8279, a keyboard and six number of 7-segment LED display have been interfaced in the system. Through the keyboard the operator can issue commands to control the system. The LED display has been provided to display messages to the operator.
• The windings of stepper motor are connected to the collector of Darlington pair transistors.
• The transistors are switched ON/OFF by the microprocessor through the ports of8255 and buffer (74LS245).
• A freewheeling diode is connected across each winding for fast switching.
• The flowchart for the operational flow of the stepper motor control system is shown.
• The processor has to output a switching sequence and wait for I to 5 mull-seconds before sending next switching sequence. (The delay is necessary to allow the motor transients to die- out).
