Control
Home Return Modes
To ensure motion repeatability, the mechanism must reset to the
zero-position via the dedicated sensor point “ORG”, normally
completed by combining “ORG”, “EL” and “Index” signals.
Helical Interpolation
If the start point and destination of a circular interpolation
movement lie on different planes, a helical function is required
to directly regulate the movement.
T-Curve / S-Curve Velocity Profile
Acceleration and deceleration times are programmable, and
rates can be set individually, with S-curve motion compensating
for generated mechanical vibration.
Continuous Move (Contouring)
Continuous movements comprise a range of linear and circular
interpolated paths. Point-Table functions support hundreds of
paths to smooth the velocity of continuous movement supported
by included velocity planning software..
Path Blending
Anticipating sharp corners and small arc path execution, path
blending is required to decelerate automatically and ensure
smoothness of the velocity at junctions of two linear paths.
Program Download
To ensure real-time control performance, programs are
downloadable into onboard processors, with support for up to 8
tasks.
Virtual Axes
To implement multi-axis synch or following motion, virtual axes
act as a model to synchronize the motion of selected axes.
PID Plus Feedforward Gain Control
All servo applications require specified safe and stable PID loop
parameters in order to perform position control, ADLINK
Softmotion provides a proportional-integral-derivative (PID)
algorithm with adjustable acceleration and velocity and
feed-forward gain to simplify servo application development..
Frequency Response Analysis
A bode plot is a graph of the transfer function of a linear,
time-invariant system versus frequency, plotted with a
log-frequency axis, to show the system's frequency response and
find the cutoff frequency defining the 2nd notch filter to reduce
resonance.
Speed Override
Changes rotation speed on-the-fly while the axis is running.
Linear and Circular Interpolation
To complete multidimensional motion, any 2, 3, or even all 6
axes are required for linear interpolation and any 3 axes can
execute circular interpolation.
Synchronization
Simultaneous start/stop can be executed on multiple axes in
one card, or multiple axes across multiple cards, using software
or external input signals. This feature is especially beneficial for
complicated motion patterns requiring absolute synchronization
of multiple axes.
Velocity Planning
Velocity planning is required to smoothly implement continuous
movement and reduce vibration. The velocity of each path is
generated automatically according to corner angles of
complete paths.
IEC 61131-3
The third section of the open international standard IEC 61131
for programmable logic controllers, CODESYS (provided by 3S
enterprise) is integrated into specific ADLINK motion controllers.
G Code
Commonly used designation for the most widely used CNC-like
programming language, with many implementations. Used
mainly in automation, it is part of computer-aided engineering.
G-code directs CNC where to move, how fast to move, and
along what path.
Auto-tuning
In order to reduce tuning efforts and acquire accurate PID
parameters, auto-tuning applications are provided in ADLINK
dedicated software, allowing conditions to be configured
according to real application requirements.
Position Override
After movement begins, the position target can be changed
on-the-fly even if the motion reaches maximum velocity.
