Abstract

A PC based motion control system employing permanent magnet direct current (PMDC) servomotors is described. The system provides two axes of coordinated motion in a plane with programmable velocity and acceleration (trapezoidal or s-curve). Each axis control is implemented through a dual closed loop, one for position and another for velocity with a cycle update time of 220 microseconds. The system provides absolute accuracy of 0.36 degree and position repeatability of ± 0.18 degree at maximum motor speed of 3000 rpm. The electronics developed is robust, compact and immune to electromagnetic interference with a sufficient scope for future expansion of the system.
