speed control
Point to point control. There are many methods to calculate a motion trajectory, usually based on a velocity curve such as a triangular velocity curve,
trapezoidal velocity curve, or S-shaped velocity curve.
Electronic gear (or electronic cam). That is to say, the position of the driven shaft mechanically follows the position change of an active shaft. A
simple example is that a system consists of two turntables that rotate according to a given relative angular relationship. Electronic cam is more
complex than electronic gear, as it makes the following relationship curve between the driving shaft and the driven shaft a function. This curve can
be non-linear, but it must be a functional relationship.
Selection of motion controller
1. Determine the type of servo motor based on the working characteristics of the equipment to be developed.
2. Determine the number of motor shafts to be controlled and the operating mode of the motor.
3. Determine the position detection and feedback mode, and choose whether to use a photoelectric encoder, grating ruler, or magnetic grating ruler.
4. Determine the number of input and output switch quantities.
5. Based on the above content, choose a suitable motion controller
