FREE TECHNOLOGY GUIDE TO MOTION CONTROL TECHNOLOGY IS ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR DESIGNERS AND USERS
06/05/2011 Control Techniques
A new technology guide from Control Techniques spans the theory and practice of motion control technology from fundamental industrial motion applications to sophisticated distributed control using intelligent variable speed drives.The FREE 68-page booklet, 'A Guide to Motion Control Technology Systems and Programming' is available on request from Control Techniques, or can be downloaded from the brochure section of their website - www.controltechniques.com.
In easy to understand language, the guide looks at common indexing applications including indexing, flying shear and pick and place and then goes on to discuss motion profiles, position loop, speed loop, torque loop control and 1.5 axis interpolation. It takes the reader through worked examples of constant velocity/acceleration and motion equation reference and demystifies the complex field of feedback devices for motors.
The guide includes useful conversion information, then goes into more detail on tuning the speed loop for motion control, motion control solutions and gives an overview on levels of motion programming, position loop and useful motion references such as jogging, homing, indexing, digital lock and CAM. The guide concludes with explanation of registration and looks at communication systems - centrally controlled, centrally co-ordinated and, lastly, full distributed control. An essential guide to all designers and users of motion control systems!
