Chapter 11: Motion Control
This chapter presents an outline of motion control and details of the motion commands.
Outline of Motion Control
This section describes the motion control methods and provides application examples.
MP940 Motion Control
The MP940 is a machine controller wherein sequence control and motion
control are completely unified. This single-axis controller combined with a
common memory (bus) with the SGDH-ooAE servo amplifier achieves not
only simple positioning, but also high-speed and high-precision
synchronization. A schematic of the MP940 system is shown below.
Motion Control Techniques
Using the MP940 module, motion control is possible for a variety of
applications. There are two motion control techniques: the ladder program
format, and the motion program format. An outline of each program follows.
