CAMAC - 3362 Stepping Motor Controller View Datasheet Request Ordering Information     ABOUT 3362 The Model 3362 is a CAMAC module containing the controls and driving circuits for a typical stepping motor. Writing a 16-bit sign and magnitude word into a countdown register initiates a process that counts the register down to zero while generating a new output phase at each count. The countdown is halted at a count of zero or upon setting one of two external limit switch inputs. The sign bit determines which input is able to inhibit the counting process. If the related limit switch input is set and an attempt is made to restart the count with an F(16)•A(0) command, the countdown register will not be written and Q = 0 will be returned. Typically, the two external switch inputs are a clockwise limit switch and a counterclockwise limit switch. The polarities of these limit switch inputs are strap-selectable. The countdown register is clocked at a minimum and maximum rate determined by the control register. The acceleration rate is set by the front-panel potentiometer and is linear between the minimum and maximum rates. Rate of acceleration will remain constant even when the minimum and/or maximumfrequencies are changed. Once the acceleration is set for a specific motor, the minimum and maximum frequency can be changed without any new acceleration rate adjustments.
