Abstract

Abstract A digital servo-control system used for driving a machine with a plurality of drive shafts having a digital type multi-axis position control unit, provided in common to all of the drive shafts, for computing a torque command value for each drive shaft on the basis of a position detection value detected by a position detector provided for each drive shaft and a position command value for each drive shaft, and torque control units, respectively provided in correspondence to a plurality of motors adapted to drive the respective drive shafts, for controlling output torque of a corresponding motor in accordance with the computed torque command value.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 157 words
A digital servo-control system comprising: a plurality of motors for driving a plurality of drive shafts of a machine, respectively; position detection means for detecting a position of each of said plurality of drive shafts and producing a position signal; multi-axis position commanding means for producing a position command signal indicative of a position command value for each of said plurality of drive shafts; digital type multi-axis position control means for receiving said position signal and said position command signal, for computing a torque command value for each drive shaft on the basis of a position detection value contained in said position signal and said position command value and for producing a torque command signal; and torque control means, provided in correspondence with each of said plurality of motors, for receiving said torque command signal and controlling an output torque of a corresponding motor in accordance with said torque command value contained in said torque command signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 157 words
A digital servo-control system comprising: a plurality of motors for driving a plurality of drive shafts of a machine, respectively; position detection means for detecting a position of each of said plurality of drive shafts and producing a position signal; multi-axis position commanding means for producing a position command signal indicative of a position command value for each of said plurality of drive shafts; digital type multi-axis position control means for receiving said position signal and said position command signal, for computing a torque command value for each drive shaft on the basis of a position detection value contained in said position signal and said position command value and for producing a torque command signal; and torque control means, provided in correspondence with each of said plurality of motors, for receiving said torque command signal and controlling an output torque of a corresponding motor in accordance with said torque command value contained in said torque command signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 78 words
A digital servo-control system according to claim 1 wherein said digital type multi-axis position control means computes a speed command value for each drive shaft on the basis of said position detection value and said position command value, detects a speed value of each drive shaft from a change in said position detection value within a predetermined time interval, and computes said torque command value on the basis of the speed command value and a speed detection value.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 121 words
A digital servo-control system according to claim 1, wherein said digital type multi-axis position control means sequentially reads said position detection value and said position command value for each drive shaft at certain times, computes a speed command value based on said position detection value and said position command value and stores said computed speed command value, reads position detection values for all of said drive shafts, computes a speed detection value for each drive shaft on the basis of the position detection value read out at a first time and a position detection value read out at a preceding time, and computes said torque command value on the basis of said speed detection value and said stored speed command value.
