Webinar: Servo System Design Best Practices Using PC-based Control Technology

By Kelsey Zebrowski | December 21, 2016

Share

 

 

 

This educational webinar will cover a range of PC-based control software tools that can be used for highly efficient motion system design.

Best practices will be reviewed from servomotor sizing, to motion profile creation, to configuration of a motion system based on an application’s requirements in terms of load, torque, speed, duty cycle and more. Webinar attendees will also learn new approaches for drive system tuning and configuration using various software tools available now in TwinCAT 3 from Beckhoff Automation. These advanced tools include Scope, Bode Plot and the new Motion Designer tool, which provides a comprehensive graphical interface to design advanced motor and drive systems on your machine.

Additionally, tips for adhering to major industry standards, such as PackML will be reviewed. Modular drive concepts and one cable motor hardware advancements will also be covered along with recommendations on how to reduce cabling, cabinet size, and ultimately, machine footprint.

Key Takeaways:

  • Servo system design in PC-based control architectures, from sizing to commissioning
  • Key considerations when determining load, torque, speed, duty cycle, etc.
  • Overview of advanced PC-based control software tools used in motion system design
  • How to leverage graphical Motion Designer tools to boost system performance
