Keyword: motion control system, motion controller, servo motor motion control, multi-axis motion control system.
motion control: realize the combination of 1-4 axis motion control, and the servo motor driver in the straight line, plane, 3D and 3D rotating the precise of sports and track operation.
1. Application for motion control system: The technology of motion control has a wide application in the automatic mechanical industry, such as XY worktable, robot, robotic arm, glue dispenser, glue dropping machine, positioning for material feeding, wheel cutting, flying shear, flying saw etc.
In order to integrate a motion control system, all the below parts are included:
1). Main controller: Finish the human-machine interaction, calculation, data storage, some systems also need interpolation calculation. Platform: PC.
2). Motion controller: Finish the interpolation calculation, pulse output and connection with motor driver, position detection, logical processing (position limit and operational signals) etc. Platform: PC card or the self-running independent motion controller.
3). Motor and its driver: Actuator for actual running. Platform: stepper or AC servo motor.
2. Our motion control system kits: Based on rich experience in the motion control field, we developed the hardware & software integrated motion controller, Touch screen teach pendant, and PCB terminal board. All these can help users to build a complete motion control system in a fast and simple way.

4. Configuration for the 1-4 axis motion control system:
No. | Item | Brand | Qty. | Model | Description |
1 | Motion controller | Panasonic | 1set | FP-X | 1. Built-in the software of motion control system, program the motion trail by the touch screen through the way of imaging lead-through teaching, that is very easy and fast, without code programming. 2. Interchange data with any PLC through the way of I/O link using the open protocol, ports of 5I/1O are necessary for the user’s PLC. |
2 | PCB terminal block | Csumtech | 1pcs | CTPB-1 | Five groups of connection terminals for servo (stepper) drivers. . |
3 | Touch screen teach pendant | Csumtech | 1set | CTTS-17 | 7” TFT,built-in HMI software, support graphical demonstration programming operation. |
4 | Control cabinet | Csumtech | 1set | CTEC-615 | P aint cabinet,L524*W420*H615; install the servo driver, controller, FCB terminal board, power, air switch, terminals, etc; all lines connected. |
5. Functional description for the software of teach pendant:
1)motion control: realize the combination of 1-4 axis motion control, and the servo motor driver in the straight line, plane, 3D and 3D rotating the precise of sports and track operation.
Man-machine interaction: Input, edit and save the motion trails. Support the image elements such as point, line, 3 points circular arc, fold line, multipoint curve, special function (user-defined). The input way is lead-through teaching. Programming the motion trail according to the input picture, finish the interpolation calculation and save data.
Expanding control: can realize track operation and motor motion control (variable speed motor running), I/O control organic integration and logic design.
2)Graphical programming: user can graphic operation through using coordinate or programming and teaching.
Automatic / manual mode: provide two kinds of modes with the manual and automatic operation which the users can debug the motor for each axis in manual mode line.
User’s interface: User can interchange the data with any PLC through the way of I/O link, and finish the control functions that is user-defined . Ports of 5I/1O are necessary for the user’s PLC and using the open protocol.?
Multi-workstations link by I/O: Linked by I/O communication for multi- workstations, such as the unified tatk time, emergency stop by alarm etc.
3)Permissions managements: provides secondary user permissions settings and safety management, that is, the system administrator can set operating password, while user manager can set the operators and for its distribution permissions.
Multi language operation: provides Chinese/English optional operation language
4). Interfaces show for touch screen software:
IV. Advantages of the system:
1).Modular and flexible structure: all the workstations are the independent control system, each can run independently or combine and link to run in a line, good properties for extending and maintenance .
2).Graphical program without code:
Programming with the teaching, and make it playback to run the system, which can plan for the freewill motion track, so this is simple, easy and flexible, with the suffering for code programming.
3). Whole system transportability:
Since all the hardware and software are designed by modular idea, which makes the system having the good transportability. Specific to different customer and their different applications,, users’ engineers can use the setup the good practical customized system based on the same hardware and software platform in a very short time.
7. The actual application cases:
1) All kind of single arm robot, beam type robotic arms.
2) All kind of glue dispenser, plastic dropping machine , decoration machine etc.
3) Depositor machine, flying shears etc.
