The NEMA 23 Closed Loop Stepper System (Leadshine CS-M22323) is a high-performance stepper motor system designed for precision motion control applications. This system integrates a NEMA 23 stepper motor with a closed-loop control mechanism, which ensures improved accuracy, reduced vibration, and enhanced torque performance compared to traditional open-loop stepper systems. The closed-loop feedback eliminates issues such as missed steps and provides smoother operation, making it ideal for demanding applications.

Below is an example Arduino sketch to control the NEMA 23 Closed Loop Stepper System using pulse and direction signals:
// Define pin connections for the stepper driver
const int pulsePin = 2; // Pulse signal connected to digital pin 2
const int dirPin = 3; // Direction signal connected to digital pin 3
void setup() {
// Set pin modes
pinMode(pulsePin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(dirPin, OUTPUT);
// Set initial direction
digitalWrite(dirPin, HIGH); // HIGH for clockwise, LOW for counterclockwise
}
void loop() {
// Generate pulses to move the motor
digitalWrite(pulsePin, HIGH); // Set pulse pin HIGH
delayMicroseconds(500); // Pulse width (500 µs)
digitalWrite(pulsePin, LOW); // Set pulse pin LOW
delayMicroseconds(500); // Pulse interval (500 µs)
}
Note: Adjust the
delayMicroseconds
values to control the motor speed. A shorter delay results in higher speed, while a longer delay reduces speed.

Can I use this system with an Arduino? Yes, the system can be controlled using an Arduino or any microcontroller capable of generating pulse and direction signals.
What is the advantage of closed-loop control? Closed-loop control provides higher accuracy, eliminates missed steps, and improves torque performance compared to open-loop systems.
What is the maximum speed of the motor? The maximum speed depends on the pulse frequency and load conditions. Refer to the manufacturer's datasheet for detailed performance curves.
Can I use a higher voltage power supply? No, the power supply voltage must not exceed 50 VDC to avoid damaging the driver.
