✦ Synopsis

When the applications involve the simultaneous control of multiple stepper motors conventional on-line control algorithms fail to produce a high speed step rate. An analysis of the problem is presented and an algorithm [Proc IMechE Part I: J Systems and Control Engineering 217 ( 2003) 359] is applied which does not have the speed restriction as the conventional ones and does not require hardware timers. The developed algorithm was tested on a hardware where several motors must be controlled simultaneously and comparative results were obtained.
