Description
Summary:Motion control means different things to different industry segments. In many cases, motion-control techniques are closely linked with the controller as well as the positioning hardware and actuator. Industrial motion control can be divided into 4 categories: 1. sequencing, which refers to the control of several operations so that they all occur in a required order, 2. speed control, which refers to applications involving machines run at varying speeds or torques, 3. point-to-point motion control, which generally refers to applications where something must move from one point to another at a constant speed, and 4. incremental motion control, which overcomes some of the disadvantages of point to point. The basic types of motion controllers are: 1. chip-level, 2. board-level, 3. box-level, and 4. dedicated controllers. Motion controllers that are built from integrated circuits often use single-chip microcontrollers as the primary source of computing power.
