A servomotor controller provides nut runner and other functions in a set of stackable modules. Extended-function modules can be added into and removed from the stack as needed. Destacking of closely spaced, wall-mounted controllers can be performed without demounting. Module assemblies are dripproof. Multiple sizes of nutrunner driver electronics and multiple keyboard and display options can be selected. A reprogrammable central processor can identify newly installed or removed features within a controller and reconfigure itself F accordingly. Stackable modules include Ethernet(®, multiple-bit I/O, and proprietary interfaces for many industries. The other modules communicate with the processor module via a backplaneless bus architecture. The central processor supports master/satellite group operation, whereby one controller unit can command multiple others, and whereby a higher-level system can command multiple controllers or multiple master/satellite controller groups.

A two-wheel vehicle having a roll axis rotation flexibility in which a servo motor is mounted to each of two wheels operating independently of each other fails to perform stable straight-forward traveling on a laterally inclined road because a neutral position by a spring force of a handle or a step varies with respect to a vertical axis as a vehicle body tilts in a roll axis direction due to a road slope. Further, in such a device, the handle or the step can tilt against intention due to a left and right unbalanced load of a passenger onto the step when getting on or off the vehicle. There is thus provided a control device that enables stable straight-forward traveling while maintaining a standing posture of a person vertically on a laterally inclined road through a motor control of the position of a handle or a step. There is also provided a control device that enables a rotation while a person maintains a vertical posture when a performing rotation operation on an inclined road. There is also provided a vehicle that prevents the occurrence of an unintended inclination of a handle and a step during loading or unloading of a passenger.

A servo controlled system is disclosed for providing simulated feel equivalent to that of traditional mechanical hand controllers using servomotors. Position and force sensor signals are processed and used in a feedback loop that controls the motor mechanically connected to the stick. The overall feedback loop is comprised of a low-level motor feedback loop, and high-level force feel loop. The two loops have associated performance parameters that can be specified independently. The high-level feel force loop is comprised of a static and dynamic performance components. Static and dynamic performance components can be specified independently. The system allows variable and/or additional force cues to be specified externally to the system and felt by the operator. The system also allows external signal to backdrive die stick to follow a specified motion. The control framework permits the electronic coupling of the motion and applied forces of pilot and co-pilots in a dual arrangement while retaining the above-mentioned features. It also allows asymmetric force feel gradients to be implemented for each stick, or for a stick relative to a second one. A zero breakout or detent can be provided at the stick null displacement. For cross-coupled sticks, the detent can be shared as in a mechanically cross-coupled system, implemented independently on each slick, or any combination of these two. The control framework also provides the simulation of mechanical compliance in the cross-coupling of the two sticks in case of a jam or of force fight between the pilots, and automatic de-coupling of the sticks.
