New motion control system options utilizing EtherCAT® technology
A New White Paper by Advanced Motion Controls Servo-based motion control systems have traditionally been categorized into two types: centralized or distributed. Centralized systems use dedicated motion control cards that account for all aspects of the system including servo commands, motor feedback and I/O to close all control loops while simultaneously running complex programs that … Continue reading New motion control system options utilizing EtherCAT® technology
Evolution of Ethernet in Control Systems. A New White Paper from Galil
Authors: Robin Riley, Ann Keffer, Wayne Baron Galil Motion Control Ethernet was developed in the 1970’s and was started being used commercially in the 1980’s. By the end of the 1980’s it was the dominant network technology. It was initially used to connect computer systems and peripherals in a Local Area Network (LAN) and quickly … Continue reading Evolution of Ethernet in Control Systems. A New White Paper from Galil
Asynchronous vs. Deterministic Communication and Types of Motion Controller Topologies
A motion control system is a system that controls the position, velocity, force or pressure of some machine. As an example, an electromechanical based motion control system consists of a motion controller (the brains of the system), a drive (which takes the low power command signal from the motion controller and converts it into high … Continue reading Asynchronous vs. Deterministic Communication and Types of Motion Controller Topologies
