Abstract:
A computer system including a computer for controlling operation of a cycle-based processing machine, comprising:a user interface configured for receiving user input commands comprising selected velocity data defining at least in part a desired velocity versus time profile of a moving point of interest of the processing machine to be controlled;a data storage device in which is stored the user input commands and a target displacement value for the moving point of interest, the target displacement value representing the actual physical displacement of the point of interest on the machine;an integrator configured to integrate the desired velocity versus time profile to quantify a derived displacement value for the moving point of interest; anda comparator implemented by the computer system to compare the target displacement value with the derived displacement value of the point of interest, the comparator configured to output a scaling factor calculated by the computer system and further configured to scale the velocity profile to realize the target displacement value when integrated over a time domain of interest.
