  • Patent number: 10386794
    Abstract: A control device includes an interface for exchanging data with a servo driver. The servo driver is configured to execute a control arithmetic operation in which a manipulation amount for driving the servo motor is determined on the basis of a control parameter determined in accordance with a control target. The control device includes a creation unit that acquires the control parameter of the servo driver and creates an internal model representing a motion characteristic of the control target, and a target value calculation unit that calculates a corrected target value to be supplied to the servo driver on the basis of a target value corresponding to a target track and a feedback value from the control target.

  • Publication number: 20190250572
    Abstract: Compensation for an external disturbance can be applied without requiring a model of the external disturbance, and, particularly, the amount of control can be accurately predicted even when the amplitude of a waveform representing changes in a predicted error with respect to time is not constant with respect to time in a case in which the predicted error that is an error between an actually-measured value of the amount of control of a control target and a predicted value periodically changes. A controller compensates a predicted value of the current amount of control using a predicted error of a previous period by taking changes in the amplitude of a waveform representing a predicted error that is an error between an actually-measured value of the amount of control and a predicted value into account.

  • Publication number: 20180374001
    Abstract: A control device generates a second command value by compensating a first command value output at every control cycle according to a predetermined pattern with a correction amount output at every control cycle according to correction data, updates the correction data based on a deviation between the first command value and a feedback value from the control object, and determines an initial value of the correction data. The control device acquires a response characteristic indicating a relationship between an assigned command value and a feedback value shown in the control object in response to the command value, estimates a feedback value to be shown in the control object based on a value obtained by compensating the first command value with temporary correction data and the response characteristic, and updates the temporary correction data based on a deviation between the first command value and the estimated feedback value.

  • Publication number: 20180365791
    Abstract: A control device, a position control system, a position control method, and a recording medium are provided. The controller includes a feedback control unit and a position determination unit. The position determination unit acquires an encoder values from a driver at a cycle. The position determination unit acquires a measurement position obtained by measuring a positional relationship between a control object position and a target position by image processing, at a time interval that is longer than the cycle. The position determination unit determines an estimation interpolation position corresponding to the control object position by using the encoder value and the measurement position. The feedback control unit outputs control data for aligning the control object position at the target position by using the estimation interpolation position determined by the position determination unit to the driver.
