Alternative Feedback Options for Motion Control
Posted on Friday, July 10th, 2009 by Jason Rhodewalt at GalilPosted in Feedback Devices, Motion Controllers | 2 Comments »
A majority of motion control systems that include feedback will use an incremental encoder. The draw back to incremental encoders is that upon power up the controller does not know the position of the motor in absolute terms. To compensate ...

Dual Loop Mode Hints for Galil Motion Controllers
Posted on Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 by Jason Rhodewalt at GalilPosted in DMC Programming, Feedback Devices | No Comments »
When running Galil motion controllers in standard dual loop mode, the PID motion control loop is split up between the load and the motor encoder. The Derivative (KD) loop is closed around the motor encoder. The Proportional (KP) ...
