13. 5V 5V Theory of Operation Traditional quadrature rotary encoders work by having two sets of lines inscribed radially around the circumference ofan optical disk A light is passed through each of these two sets of lines On the other side of the gratings photo sensors detect the presence or absence of these lines These two sets of lines are offset from each other such that one leads the other by one quarter of a complete cycle as shown in Figure A4 1 below These signals are commonly referred to as the Channels A and B The direction of rotation of the encoder can be inferred by which of the A and B signals leads the other Each rising or falling edge indicates one quadrature count Thus for a complete cycle of the square wave there are a total of four encoder counts Figure A4 1 Quadrature Encoder Signals A sinusoidal encoder is similar to a quadrature encoder in that it produces two signals that are read from two sets of lines inscribed on an optical disk The difference is that the two signals are output as analog sinusoidal waves as shown in Figure A4 2 Figure A4 2 Sinusoidal Encoder Signals When the DMC 40x0 is ordered with the ICM 42100 the position is tracked on two levels First the number of coarse cycles is counted much like is done with a quadrature encoder On the fine level the precise position inside A4 DMC 31000 e 213 DMC 30000 User Manual the cycle is determined from the two sinusoid

35. The first command lt n is equivalent to commanding VS n at the start of the given segment and will cause an acceleration toward the new commanded speeds subjects to the other constraints The second function gt m requires the vector speed to reach the value m at the end of the segment Note that the function gt m may start the deceleration within the given segment or during previous segments as needed to meet the final speed requirement under the given values of VA and VD Note however that the controller works with one gt m command at a time As a consequence one function may be masked by another For example if the function 72100000 is followed by 275000 and the distance for deceleration is not sufficient the second condition will not be met The controller will attempt to lower the speed to 5000 but will reach that at a different point Changing Feed Rate The command VR n allows the feed rate VS to be scaled between 0 and 10 with a resolution of 0001 This command takes effect immediately and causes VS scaled VR also applies when the vector speed is specified with the operator This is a useful feature for feed rate override VR does not ratio the accelerations For example VR 0 5 results in the specification VS 2000 to be divided by two Trippoints The AV n command is the After Vector trippoint which waits for the vector relative distance of n to occur before executing the next command in a program Command

Time of Parabolic Velocity Profile Contour Mode The DMC 30000 also provides a contouring mode This mode allows any arbitrary position curve to be prescribed This is ideal for following computer generated paths such as parabolic spherical or user defined profiles The path is not limited to straight line and arc segments and the path length may be infinite Specifying Contour Segments The Contour Mode is specified with the command CM A contour is described by position increments which are described with the command CD x over a time interval DT n The parameter n specifies the time interval The time interval is defined as 2 sample period 1 ms for TM1000 where n is a number between and 8 The controller performs linear interpolation between the specified increments where one point is generated for each sample If the time interval changes for each segment use CD x n where n is the new DT value Consider for example the trajectory shown in Figure 6 11 The position X may be described by the points Point 1 X 0 at T 0ms Point 2 X 48 at T 4ms Point 3 X 288 at T 12ms Point 4 X 336 at T 28ms The same trajectory may be represented by the increments Increment 1 DX 48 Time 4 DT 2 Increment 2 DX 240 Time 8 DT 3 Increment 3 DX 48 Time 16 DT 4 DMC 30000 User Manual Chapter 6 Programming e 86 When the controller receives the command to generate a trajectory along these points it interpolates linearly between the point

V4 20 Compute a proportional speed JG V5 Change the speed JP B Repeat the process EN End Backlash Compensation by Sampled Dual Loop The continuous dual loop enabled by the DV1 function is an effective way to compensate for backlash In some cases however when the backlash magnitude is large it may be difficult to stabilize the system In those cases it may be easier to use the sampled dual loop method described below This design example addresses the basic problems of backlash in motion control systems The objective is to control the position of a linear slide precisely The slide is to be controlled by a rotary motor which is coupled to the slide by a lead screw Such a lead screw has a backlash of 4 micron and the required position accuracy is for 0 5 micron The basic dilemma is where to mount the sensor If you use a rotary sensor you get a 4 micron backlash error On the other hand if you use a linear encoder the backlash in the feedback loop will cause oscillations due to instability An alternative approach is the dual loop where we use two sensors rotary and linear The rotary sensor assures stability because the position loop is closed before the backlash whereas the linear sensor provides accurate load position information The operation principle is to drive the motor to a given rotary position near the final point Once there the load position is read to find the position error and the controller commands the mot
