Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the electric power by interruptedly connecting a high resistance detecting resistor with a closed loop including a coil so that the rotating conditions of a rotor may be detected from the voltage waveforms generated at the detecting resistor and so that normal drive pulses may be supplied while having their width stepwise shortened or enlarged. CONSTITUTION:The connecting point of a detecting resistor 30 for detecting the rotations of a rotor is connected with the input terminal of a voltage detector 40 having a preset threshold value. When coil 7 is nergized through a passage 41 by normal drive pulses, the rotor is driven. After that, interchanges are accomplished interruptedly between the condition, under which the both terminals of the coil 7 are grounded and short-circuited to the earth through a passage 42 during the mortions of the rotor, and the condition, under which a closed loop including the detecting resistor 30 is formed through a passage 43, so that the operations of the rotor are detected from the voltage waveforms which are induced in the coil. The width of the drive pulses to the step motor is stepwise shortened or enlarged in accordance with the rotations of the rotor detected so that the drive pulses of the minimum width according to the load applied can be fed to the step motor.
