Too little current and too high an acceleration means that the motor won\u2019t have enough power to accelerate both itself and the load it is driving. It may stall if this condition persists. On the other hand, every system has an upper limit of maximum allowable current supply.<\/p>\n<p>Both mean that engineers must consider how realistic a system\u2019s positioning times are. If it requires a too high acceleration in too short a time, it wont be possible to run a stepper motor to a motion profile satisfying system\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Algorithms for determining the proper ramping method and subsequent acceleration are complicated, but simplified algorithms exist to aid in design and implementation. Whatever algorithm the engineer uses, it should work well enough to ensure that there\u2019s no lost steps or stalls. Tip: Always perform test runs at whatever conditions and loads your system has before finalizing any design.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/steppersmith1986.wordpress.com\/2018\/12\/08\/how-to-convert-open-loop-to-closed-loop-stepper-control\/\">How to Convert open loop to closed loop stepper control<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned in FAQ: How do I prevent stepper motor stalls? and FAQ: How do stepper motors handle inertia mismatch? inertia ratio is critical to stepper motor acceleration.
