GeckoDrive 302V Pulse Per Revolution

[supman]

I notice Masso has Pulse per revolution parameter for axis. I have the Gecko G203V driver which has a " fixed 10 micro step resolution". 360 degrees divided by 1.8 Degrees = 200 steps per revolution. 1 step= 10 microsteps. Does this mean the PPR should be set to a value of 2000? is this the correct calculation or am I way off the mark?

Also can someone explain how this value works ! is it accuracy, speed, torque or what ever.

@supman,

Yes.

MASSO calculates the distance to move your tooling as the number of pulses needed to rotate the stepper the required number of turns / part of a turn, based on the distance travelled per revolution of the motor. So with the two values you enter into the axis calibration one becomes fixed because of the electronics which is PPR and the other, distance travelled per revolution, is used to adjust the accuracy.

Also the the speed of the pulses (frequency kHz) controls the speed of the motors. Torque is controlled by the driver, via the motor current.

Max speed sets the top frequency that MASSO will run at and Acceleration is the rate of change in that frequency to get to the top value.
