An industrial motor drive and associated human interface module (HIM) for interfacing with the industrial motor drive to control operation of a motor in an industrial operation. The human interface module receives inputs from a human related to control parameters associated with the industrial motor drive and presents progressively narrowing lists and suggestions to assist the user in accessing and modifying control parameters associated with the industrial motor drive. Based on a modification to a control parameter, the industrial motor drive controls the operation of the motor in the industrial operation accordingly.

A method for controlling a stepping motor includes the following steps: receiving a movement function, representing a position of the stepping motor over time; processing the movement function and generating a first reference signal, identifying a finished rotation of the stepping motor, and a second reference signal, identifying the direction of the finished rotation controlled by the first reference signal; sending a first and a second control signal to an integrated control circuit of the stepping motor; compensation of the first reference signal and the second reference signal in such a way as to reduce the extent of the vibrations due to a movement of the stepping motor, for generating the first and the second control signals, respectively.
