This emerging technology is seeking to replace proprietary PC-bus motion control boards. The concept of open-architecture machine control will also be reviewed and an actual machine control application with soft motion will be presented. The summary will include some future needs and directions for PC-based machine control including soft motion. This presentation will discuss how modern Electronic Motion Controls can help the machine and process designers to improve applications and remain competitive. Today, designers have challenges to improve machine performance.
Old designs are continuously under pressure from competition to improve performance.
Designers are looking to new technologies to find ways to meet these increasing demands. The validity of fuzzy logic as an advanced motion control technique is evaluated. In this presentation, the design of the platform is discussed with an emphasis on detail to aid in future research. The purpose of this platform is to facilitate the investigation of fuzzy logic control beyond the usual realm of research via simulation. The process implemented efficiently takes a controller design from concept to prototype.
