  • Publication number: 20240132330
    Abstract: Motor control architecture including a travel, a hoist, and a controller is disclosed. The travel disposed on a main rail having an auxiliary-encoder includes a master-driver and a slave-driver for driving two motors. Each motor has a main-encoder. The hoist drives a rope and calculates a rope length continuously. The controller calculates an anti-sway position command based on the rope-length and a position command. The two drivers perform a full closed-loop computation based on a feedback of one main-encoder, a feedback of the auxiliary-encoder, and the anti-sway position command. Wherein, the master-driver controls one motor based on a speed command generated by the full closed-loop computation and the slave-driver follows the speed command and a torque command of the master-driver to drive another motor; or the two drivers compensate the torque command based on an error value between the feedback of one main-encoder and the feedback of the auxiliary-encoder.

  • Patent number: 9348963
    Abstract: A system and method for optimizing a design layout by identifying features for abutment where shapes of the features that trigger the abutment are overlapping or within a predefined proximity of each other. The abutment process is implemented for features that have overlapping pins or that will have overlapping pins when abutted. Connectivity of abutted features is analyzed for the overlapped pins; pins of one of the abutted features are swapped so that at least one overlapping set of horizontal pins is connected to a same net; and a pin of the abutted features can be shortened as necessary to prevent short-circuit between pins connected to different nets. The overlapping pins are then merged. Pins can be shortened by cutting the pin or by adjusting pin style or pin size.
