A stepping motor control device is provided, which controls a stepping motor including a rotor position detector by micro-step driving. The control device has a plurality of operation modes including an adjustment mode and a use mode. In the adjustment mode, the control device generates control data for a closed loop control for controlling the winding current of the stepping motor based on the detection value of the rotor position detector, and performs a stepping motor acceleration operation and a stepping motor deceleration operation according to the control data. In the use mode, the control device performs the stepping motor acceleration operation and the stepping motor deceleration operation so that a winding current observed in the adjustment mode is reproduced by an open loop control for controlling the winding current of the stepping motor based on the control data generated in the adjustment mode.

Control device for stepping motor

The present invention provides an absolute encoder device, including: a permanent magnet including a first magnetic pattern (bipolar) and a second magnetic pattern (multipolar); a first magnetic sensor for detecting a magnetic field of the first magnetic pattern; a second magnetic sensor for detecting a magnetic field of the second magnetic pattern; and a signal processing circuit for calculating an absolute rotation angle of a rotation shaft based on output signals of the first and second magnetic sensors. The first and second magnetic sensors and the signal processing circuit are fixed to a single substrate. The first magnetic pattern is formed on a plane extending in a direction crossing an axial direction inside the permanent magnet, and the second magnetic pattern is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the permanent magnet.
