Claim:
1. A motion control system for implementing a physical motion for a load in an industrial environment comprising: a motion planner storing an electronic motion profile characterizing a physical motion for a load over a period of time and a plurality of performance parameters characterizing an acceptable level of error with respect to the electronic motion profile that are non-overlapping with respect to time; a drive having closed loop feedback adapted to power an electromagnetic actuator for carrying out the physical motion for the load; and a power meter adapted to monitor an amount of power delivered to the drive for powering the electromagnetic actuator, wherein the power meter communicates to the motion planner the amount of power delivered to the drive; wherein the motion planner provides the drive with the electronic motion profile and a plurality of tuning parameters for carrying out the electronic motion profile, and the drive implements the electronic motion profile while substantially meeting the plurality of performance parameters, wherein the motion planner is operable to adjust the motion profile and the plurality of tuning parameters according to the amount of power delivered to the drive, and wherein the plurality of tuning parameters comprise a plurality of gain values for the drive.
