Motion Control System
Motion Control Definition
Motion control is a sub-field of automation, encompassing the systems or sub-systems
involved in moving parts of machines in a controlled manner. The main components
involved typically include a motion controller, an energy amplifier, and one or more
prime movers or actuators. Motion control may be open loop or closed loop. In open
loop systems, the controller sends a command through the amplifier to the prime
mover or actuator, and does not know if the desired motion was actually achieved.
Typical systems include stepper motor or fan control. For tighter control with more
precision, a measuring device may be added to the system (usually near the end
motion). When the measurement is converted to a signal that is sent back to the
controller, and the controller compensates for any error, it becomes a Closed loop
System.
Simplified definition: Drive movement of systems that includes
position, velocity, and force

Motion Control Definition
There many “drive” devices such as electric, hydraulic,
pneumatic drives.

AC Motor
AC motors work by rotating the stator field. It makes use of the natural alternating
nature of the AC wave to turn the field coils on and off sequentially.
TS. Ngô Hà Quang Thịnh, nhqthinh@hcmut.edu.vn
AC Motor
The rotor is always going slower than the rotating field, and this difference is
referred to as slip. Slip is frequently given as a percentage (usually less than
10%) of the stator speed.
Synchronous equation:
Ss: synchronous (stator) speed (in rpm)
Sr: rotor speed (rpm)
f: frequency of the AC line
P: number of field poles per phase

Stepper Motor
A stepper motor is a unique type of DC motor that rotates in
fixed steps of a certain number of degrees. Step size can range
from 0.9 to 90°.

Servo System
Servo System
What is a servo motor? - A command signal which is issued from the user's interface
panel comes into the servo's "positioning controller". The positioning controller is the
device which stores information about various jobs or tasks. It has been programmed
to activate the motor/load, i.e. change speed/position.

Issues in Motion Control System
▪ Current control = torque control
- Maintaining current (torque) constant
- Mostly included in controller (but not always accessible)
- For fast motor reaction
- No special feedback device needed
▪ Speed control
- Maintaining speed constant
- "speed = 0" does not mean "position is held"
▪ Position control
- Moving from position to position, stop at and maintain a position

Analog Encoder Speed Control Loop
• Speed control loop with encoder feedback
- Amplification (gain) depends on parameters PID
- Applies also to Hall Sensor feedback with EC motors (6 IMP)
• Current control loop
- Subordinate control loop, enhances system dynamics
- Power amplifier (MOSFET)

set value E current
How the deviation signal E is it amplified to command
produce a purposeful reaction (current +
command)?
actual value
• P: Proportional (a multiplication = "amplification") system reaction
– Problem: very small deviation lead to small corrections
only. The set value cannot be reached. PI
– Remedy: Combination of P and I
• I: Integration P only
– A persisting deviation is summed up (integrated) and
eventually corrected.
• D: Differentiation PID
– a sudden increasing deviation (e.g. a set value jump),
produces a strong reaction
– for dynamic reaction set value
– overshoot, instability

How to Measure the Feedback Value
• Open loop
– no feedback system
• Current control
– no special feedback
• Speed control
– feedback devices for DC motors: Encoder, DCTacho, Hall-sensor
• Position control
– feedback devices: Encoder, Hall-Sensor
