  • Control signal and power bus connector arrangement for a multi-axis motor control
    Patent number: 5493194
    Abstract: A motor control system and the electrical bus for interconnecting the components of the control system are disclosed herein. The system includes a main motor control unit connected to four motor axis control modules. The control algorithms and commands for the system are stored and executed by the control unit which communicates control commands to the individual motor axis control modules. Each motor control module processes the control commands to control a motor connected to the module, and also communicates feedback signals produced at the associated axis to the control unit. The interconnection between the control unit and the modules is positioned at the face of the components to facilitate removal and insertion of the modules. The electrical bus includes both communications conductors and power conductors, and is included in the interconnection of the components.
