Stepper Motors or Step Motors

Stepping Modes
There are three stepping modes of a stepper motor. The stepping mode refers to the pattern of sequence in which stator coils are energized.
1.      Wave drive (One phase ON at a time)
2.      Full drive (Two phase ON at a time)
3.      Half drive (One and two phase ON at a time)
 
1.    Wave drive :
In wave drive stepping mode only one phase is energized at a time.
Stepper Motor Wave Drive
2.    Full Drive :
In full drive, two phases are energized at a time.
Stepper Motor Full Drive
 
3.    Half Drive :

In half drive, alternately one and two phases are energized. This increases the resolution of the motor.
