Design of Stepper Motor Control System Based on SOPC and LabVIEW

Abstract:

This thesis proposes a design of digital stepper motor control system, with FPGA as control core, communicates with LabVIEW host computer system via RS232 serial port. The host computer control system is programmed in LabVIEW, and can be used to choose working mode, rotation direction, run or stop, steps and angles for rotation. The slave computer system takes EP2C8Q208C8N chip of Altera Corporation’s Cyclone II series as the core, to construct the hardware environment of the system. And it could driver stepper motor correspondingly according to the received commands that sent by host computer. This design provides a new idea for development and application of embedded system, and has a certain reference value for the development of new product.
