Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing motor control systems for mechanical systems like machine tools and robots face challenges in adapting to changing demands for adaptive control, as they require pre-installed communication controllers, limiting flexibility and increasing non-operation hours due to large-scale configuration changes.
Innovation Solution
A control device that generates a second command value based on sensor data, feedback data, and first command values, and transmits it to the numerical control device, allowing for adaptive control without the need for pre-installed communication controllers, and can be added or removed as needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If adaptive control is added to the mechanical system, then control accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases and configuration changes become large-scale
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a communication controller as an intermediary device between the host controller and motor control devices. This mediator handles adaptive control functions and sensor data processing, allowing the host controller to maintain its original configuration while enabling enhanced control capabilities through the intermediate layer.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system is segmented into distinct functional modules: the host controller for basic servo control, the communication controller for adaptive control and data management, and motor control devices for execution. This segmentation allows independent addition or modification of adaptive control functions without reconfiguring the entire system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If communication controllers are pre-installed for adaptive control, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity and initial configuration requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The communication controller is designed as a dynamic, optional component that can be added or removed based on system requirements. The system architecture supports flexible configuration where adaptive control capabilities can be activated or deactivated without fundamental changes to the base mechanical system.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication controller serves multiple functions: it manages adaptive control operations, processes sensor data, communicates between different control devices, and can optionally be integrated into the system. This multi-functionality allows a single component to provide various capabilities without requiring separate dedicated devices for each function.
3Adaptability or versatility
If large-scale configuration changes are made to enable adaptive control, then adaptability is improved, but non-operation hours increase
Solution Approach 1:
The communication controller is designed with pre-configured communication protocols and interfaces that match standard host controllers and motor control devices. This preliminary preparation of communication standards and data formats allows for rapid integration without extensive configuration work or system shutdowns.
