Advanced Motion Control

  • Motion Performance Trace  PDF  |  HTML

    The question facing the designer is: how do you go about making these improvements? How do you optimize the various motion controller variables such as profile parameters, servo gains, and commutation, to arrive at the best overall machine performance?


  • Motoring to Success  PDF  |  HTML

    In this article we will look at the issues concerning the selection of the right type of motor in positioning control applications.


  • Tuning Servomotors  PDF  |  HTML

    This article provides an overview of PID (proportional, integral, derivative) based servo loops, and introduces two standard manual tuning methods that work well for a large variety of systems.


  • Mathematics of Motion Control Profiles  PDF  |  HTML

    Reviews the mathematics of motion profiles, discusses which profiles work best for which applications, and provides insights into how to 'tune' your profile for maximum performance.


  • Motion Control Architectures  PDF  |  HTML

    This article will examine some of these trends, and detail the four major motion control architectures in use today, two of which can be traced back to earlier motion control approaches, and two of which are more recent additions.


  • Motion Control Has A Field Day  PDF  |  HTML

    This article will examine some of these trends, and detail the four major motion control architectures in use today, two of which can be traced back to earlier motion control approaches, and two of which are more recent additions.


  • Motion Control Networks  PDF  |  HTML

    The cost savings and flexibility offered by motion networks can be substantial, but the key is knowing what kind of solution will work best in your control application.


  • Motion ICs Make Their Move  PDF  |  HTML

    This article will discuss choices in motion control electronics with a focus on cost savings that can result in integrating functions that were previously separated. Emphasis will be placed on recent developments in motion ICs that have made these new architectures possible.


  • New Developments in Commutation and Motor Control Techniques  PDF  |  HTML

    A look at the latest trends in advanced current control techniques, including a comparison of various commutation techniques.


  • Mathematics of Electronic Motor Control  PDF  |  HTML

    An introduction to the major techniques used to control multi-phase motors, both brushless DC and AC induction.
