`
`9. INTRODUCTION TO MOTION PROGRAMMING
`
`The previous chapters dealt with the fundamental questions of how to select
`
`the right components for the system and how to use them correctly. Special
`
`emphasis was placed on the subject of system stability, quick response, and
`
`accuracy.
`
`The second part of the book focuses on programming the motion. Here we
`
`assume that the control system is indeed stable and that the motor position
`
`follows the commanded trajectory. The emphasis now is on commanding the
`
`appropriate trajectory that results in the required motion.

`.
`
`It was indicated previously that the generation of motion consists of two
`
`major parts: generating the required profile and following it. The first part of
`
`the book deals with forcing the motor to follow the required trajectory. The
`
`second part deals with generating the profile.
`
`Chapter 10 starts with a description of general programming tools. Chapters
`
`11 and I2 discuss two special modes of motion: coordinated motion and
`
`contouring. Chapters 13, 14, and 15 deal with special motion types known as
`
`electronic gearing, tension control, and dual—loop control.
`
`The discussion presented here is general in nature and the design methods
`
`apply to most motion controllers. However, in order to provide specific
`
`illustrations and examples, we describe the implementation of the motion
`
`programming with the language used by Galil controllers.

`The host computer sends the characters indicated by the program

`
`Another type of simple motion is the jog move. Here the motor is
`
`motion parameters
`commanded to run indefinitely at a specified speed.
`in this case are limited to the speed, acceleration, and deceleration. These
`
`parameters can be expressed in units of resolution as illustrated below.

`
`The generation of more complex moves is described in the following
`chapters.
`
`Stored Programs
`
`The instructions for performing the motion can be issued directly from the
`
`host computer, resulting in an immediate move. This mode, the immediate
`
`mode, requires the continuous involvement of the host computer. An
`
`1099
`
`Page 4 of 23
`
`

`
`alternative approach is the use of stored programs that reduce the involvement
`
`of the host computer.
`
`In this method the host computer downloads the motion program to the
`
`controller memory. To start the motion, the host sends a short command,
`
`such as "Execute Program A." The controller will then receive the
`
`instructions from its memory without the intervention of the host computer.
`
`To illustrate the concept, consider the move described in Example 10.1. To
`perform the same move from a stored program, the host modifies the program
`by adding a label. #A, for example, and an end statement. EN. The resulting
`program is as follows:

`
`

`
`which causes the controller to execute the program.
`
`Control Variables
`
`Variables allow the motion controller to perform certain mathematical
`
`functions and to make decisions accordingly. This capability increases the
`
`intelligence of the motion controller and allows it to perform some
`
`supervisory functions in addition to the simple motion control.
`
`A variable can be defined as a constant or can be equated to a controller
`
`parameter. For example, the instruction
`
`sets the value of the variable V to 3. The instruction
`
`P = _TPX
`
`reads the position of the X motor and equates the variable P to that value.
`
`Variables can be defined in a variety of ways. For example, the instructions
`
`YERROR = _TEY
`
`equates the variable YERROR to the position error of the Y motor.
`
`10-101
`
`Page 6 of 23
`
`Page 6 of 23
`
`

`
`Once the variable is defined, it can be used in mathematical operations.
`Motion controllers can perform mathematical functions that typically include
`algebraic, trigonometric, and logic operations.
`
`completed. the controller can use the
`
`s. For example. the results
`can be used to change the speed, set the distance. or change the filter gain.
`The use of variables is best illustrated by the
`following example.

`Input/Output Interface
`
`Motion controllers can read some input signals, both digital and analog, and
`can generate some digital output signals. This enables motion controllers to
`control a complete process rather than be limited to the motion control
`function.
`_
`Inputsignals, both digital and analog, can be read by.the controller and their
`values can be stored in control variables. These variables can be used later in
`motion programs. The reading ofdigital inputs can be performed with the
`instruction
`DIGITAL = @ M21
`whichreads thedigital input#2and storesits content, 0or 1, inthevariable
`
`DIGITAL. Analog signals are similarly read with the instmction

`
`The generation of digital output signals is performed by setting or clearing a

`
`which sets and clears output bit #3.
`
`The interface with the inputs and the generation of the output signals allow
`the controller to perform complete process control without a host computer
`intervention. This is illustrated by the following example.
`
`Example 10.5
`
`Design a control system that controls the velocity of an XY table
`
`acording to the analog voltages generated by an XY joystick. The
`
`polarity and the magnitude of the motor velocities are determined by
`the corresponding potentiometer voltage.
`
`Suppose, for example, that the requiredspeed is l0,000 counts/s for
`
`every volt of input signal. The resulting program reduces to reading
`the voltage of the two analog input signals, multiplying both results by
`10,000, and adjusting the speeds of the X and Y motors accordingly:
`The program flowchart is given in Figure 10.4 and the instructions are
`
`shown below.

`
`Reading the analog input signals is beneficial in force control systems
`
`because the force feedback is analog. To illustrate this process, consider the
`
`following example.
`
`Example 10.6
`
`Drive the X motor against a slowly moving target and maintain a
`
`constant force between the two elements. The Contact force is
`
`10-107
`
`Page 12 of 23
`
`Page 12 of 23
`
`

`
`measured by a load cell whose output is applied to analog input #1.
`Assume that the
`foroelevel corresponds to a signal level of SV
`and that forward motion increases the tension between the two
`elements.
`
`The simpiest control procedure is to run the motor in the jog mode
`where the motor nmstcontinuously at a specified speed. The controller
`leads the analog signal to detezmine the force level and sets the speed
`of the motor in proportions wifla the error in the force level. The
`flowchart is shown in Figure 10.5. The program is shown below.

`Trippoints
`
`Motion control programs often include several functions. These fimctions are
`scheduled by delaying the execution of each fimction until a ceitain condition
`
`occurs. These conditions are called tiippoints.
`

`
`it
`
`‘é
`
`'3
`
`For example, the "after distance" (AD) trippoint delays the execution of a
`
`function until after the motor moves a certain distance. Similarly, the
`execution of a function may be delayed until a move has been completed
`
`(AM), an input signal changes states (Al), or by a pure time delay (WT).
`
`The following example illustrates the use of tiippoints in executing a motion
`
`cycle.
`
`Consider the motion cycle illustrated by Figure 10.6. A forward
`
`Example 19.7
`
`motion of 10,000 counts must start upon a start pulse on input #1. The

`
`After the motor has moved a distance of 6000 counts, the controller
`
`starts a deceleration toward a speed of 10,000 counts/s. That speed is
`
`maintained for the rest of the move. Upon completion of the motion,
`
`the controller waits 100 ms before returning the motor to the starting
`
`position, at a speed of 20,000 counts/s. Once there, the controller is
`
`ready to repeat the cycle.
`
`Notice that the scheduling of the various functions requires the use of
`
`trippoints. The start of the motion is delayed by the trippoint All.
`
`When the motion starts, the velocity change is scheduled with the

`
`trippoint AD 6000. The controller must then wait until the completion
`
`of the move (AMX) and adds a pure delay of 100 ms (WT 100) before
`
`returning the motor to the starting position. The resulting flowchart is
`
`shown in Figure 10.7, and the Instruction Program follows.

`
`Arrays
`
`Arrays are structured memories where data can be stored and retrieved in a
`
`certain order. They are useful for storing sequences of position points or
`
`output signals.
`
`An array is characterized by a name and a size. Each element in the array is
`
`identified by its index. For example, the array XPOS may have a size of 100
`
`units. As a consequence, each point is identified as XPOS [N] where N
`
`varies between 0 and 99.
`
`To store data in the array, we use an instruction such as
`
`XPOS [5] = _TPX
`
`which reads the current position of the X axis and stones the value in the
`
`array. The value of the position may be retrieved later with instructions of the
`
`form
`
`
`
`10-112
`
`Page 17 of 23
`
`Page 17 of 23
`
`

`
`X = XPOS [5]
`
`which transfers the position value tothe variable X.
`
`The use of arrays is illustratedby the folloiiving example.

`Record
`
`Controllers may record motion data at a fixed rate and store the data in an
`
`array. This data can be used later to duplicate the motion or to analyze it.
`
`The recording process includes several steps. First the army where the data

`
`accomplished at a specified rate. The process is illustrated by the following
`
`example.
`
`Example 10.9
`
`Write a program that records the position error of the Y axis every 16
`
`ms, a total of 100 times, and stores the results in the array YERROR.
`
`The actual recording is done with the instruction RC that has two
`parameters:
`the first parameter, n, defines the recording time interval
`as 2“ ms. In the given example, 11 = 4 results in 16 ms intervals. The
`
`second parameter sets the number of the recorded points.

`
`The following example illustrates how recorded data can be used for analysis.
`
`Example ;0.10
`
`Use the position error data collected in Example 10.9 to perform a
`
`statistical analysis on the positions error of Y. Determine the maximum
`
`and minimum values as well as the root mean square value. The
`
`following program performs the required tasks and stores the results
`
`under the variables MAX, MIN, and RMS. The program flowchart is
`
`shown in Figure 10.9.
