  • Simulation of tuning effects for a servo driven mechatronic system
    Patent number: 8255197
    Abstract: A servo driven mechatronic system simulator and analyzer utilizing preconfigured motion equipment profile databases to predict the behavior of a motion system based on a user selected configuration. The user can adjust the parameters and rerun the simulation and analysis many times in an efficient manner until the optimum operating conditions of the desired system are reached. The user can then archive the system design and implement the system with a greater level of confidence in the ability of the design to meet the requirements of the application.

  • Method and apparatus for sizing a drive unit for multiple applications with varying voltage requirements
    Publication number: 20060238147
    Abstract: A method for sizing components of a motor control system powered by a power supply includes receiving an upper nominal line voltage parameter for the power supply. A lower nominal line voltage parameter for the power supply is received. A first performance measure of the motor control system is determined based on the upper nominal line voltage parameter. A second performance measure of the motor control system is determined based on the lower nominal line voltage parameter. Components suitable for use in the motor control system are identified based on at least the first and second performance measures.
