Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for accurately controlling the rotary position of a high speed position control servo system having a servo motor which is fed by a conventional servo amplifier and drive amplifier means with a tachometer feedback to the drive amplifier. Incorporated in the system is a high frequency quadrature phasing network which receives timing signals from the servo amplifier and conditions these signals into a balanced sine cosine function which excites a rotary position transducer that is directly coupled to the motor. The high frequency sine cosine signal produces a reference feedback signal which is the difference between the actual rotor position of the motor and the sine cosine field of the position transducer stator. The error signal is fed back to the servo amplifier and is conditioned through a transformer, pre-amp and filter means and then fed into the servo amplifier means to tract the servo motor.

Claim 2
Independent Claim
117 words
An apparatus for controlling the rotary shaft position of a high speed position control system having a servo-amplifier means and drive amplifier means, a servo-motor with a tachometer feedback means and rotary position feedback means, the improvement comprising a high frequency phasing network means receiving a timing signal from said servo-amplifier means, a pulse shaping, conditioning and balancing network means connected to said rotary position means, a conditioning feedback network means feeding a control signal to said servo-amplifier, said servo-amplifier means processing said timing signal and said feedback control signal to develop an internal control signal which is processed with said timing signal and a command signal to produce a drive signal for said drive amplifier means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
90 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said phasing network means comprises a counter means having multiple stages and a decoding stage to develop two chains of pulses shifted in phase relationship with each other which feed said shaping, conditioning and balancing network means which produce two bipolar signals to excite the stators in said rotary position means, said one chain of pulses exciting one of said stator coils and said other chain of pulses exciting the other said stator coil wherein the phase relationship between them is at least 90°.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
58 words
The apparatus of claim 1 or 2 wherein the angular position of said servo motor is fed back to said servo amplifier through a signal amplifier and filter means having a phase detector means and is phased with said timing signal to produce a tracking signal which is used to time and control the servo drive amplifier means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the said chains of pulses exciting said rotary transducer are square wave signals which are modified in said conditioning circuit to approximate a sine wave.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
