motion controller and can also connect multiple servo drives together through various methods and protocols for coordinated control.
Motion controllers are classified based on the principle of position control:
Motion controllers can be divided into three basic types based on the principle of position control, namely the presence or absence of
detection feedback sensors and their detection devices: open-loop, semi closed loop, and closed-loop motion controllers.
1. Open-loop control motion controller
There is no position detection feedback device, and its execution motor generally uses a stepper motor. The biggest features of this type
of motion controller are convenient control, simple structure, and low price. The displacement command signal flow issued by the motion
controller is unidirectional, so there is no stability issue. However, due to the lack of feedback correction for mechanical transmission errors,
the position accuracy is generally not high.
2. Semi closed loop control motion controller
The position feedback adopts a corner detection element, which is directly installed at the end of the servo motor or screw. Due to its
position feedback control, high positioning accuracy can be achieved, and most mechanical transmission components are
not included in the closed-loop system, thus obtaining relatively stable control characteristics. Mechanical transmission errors such as lead screws cannot be
corrected through feedback, but software fixed value compensation can be used to appropriately improve their accuracy.
