Servo Amplifier Arrangement Order for Shorter Bus Bar Wiring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing selection devices for servo amplifiers lack the capability to determine the optimal order in which amplifiers should be arranged alongside each other for efficient wiring, leading to increased costs and reduced compactness due to the use of inappropriate accessories like bus bars.
Innovation Solution
A selection device and method that includes a storage unit for amplifier types, an acquisition unit for selected amplifiers, an alongside arrangement order selection unit to determine the optimal arrangement based on amplifier types, and a display control unit to display the selected order, minimizing the total length of bus bars used.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If amplifiers are arranged in an arbitrary order, then the wiring configuration is simple to implement, but the cost of accessories increases and compactness is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the arrangement order parameter of amplifiers based on their rated current values. By sorting amplifiers in ascending order of rated current and arranging them accordingly, the system optimizes the wiring configuration to reduce accessory costs while maintaining ease of implementation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention performs preliminary arrangement of amplifiers according to their rated current values before the actual wiring installation. This pre-arrangement ensures that the optimal configuration is established in advance, preventing increased accessory costs and maintaining compactness.
