Motion Control Video Series Rundown
There are eight (8) videos in this series on Motion Control
using the AutomationDirect’s SureStep Stepping System
components controlled by pulses and a directional signal
obtained from a High-Speed Counter Interface Module, p/n
H0-CTRIO, installed in a DirectLOGIC DL05 Micro PLC.
A C-more Micro-Graphic panel is used as a simple HMI
operator interface to allow the operator the ability to control
the position of a linear leadscrew slide, and execute various
programmed move profiles. The list to the right is a
breakdown of the topics that the videos in this series will
cover.
a. What is Motion Control?
This handout can be used to follow along with the videos,
and can also be useful as a refresher to the steps required to
create a working Motion Control System.
