Abstract A feedforward control method having an improved follow-up characteristic with respect to commands in a servo system and capable of a servomotor to operate smoothly and stably, is applied to a servo system in which a position/speed loop process is executed a plurality of times within one move command distribution period of an upper-level control device. A provisional speed command, which is the product of a gain (Kp) and a deviation (e) between an actual amount (Pf) of rotation of the motor and a move command (a) for each position and speed loop processing period, is corrected by a position feedforward quantity, which is the product of a coefficient (α1) and a mean value of move commands including the move command for each processing period and those before and after the present processing period calculated by a smoothing circuit to obtain a speed command. A provisional torque command obtained in a speed loop having an integral term and a proportional term is corrected by a speed feedforward quantity, which is the product of a coefficient (α2) and a differential value obtained by subjecting the mean value of the move commands to a lead compensation in a lead compensation element by a time period equal to a predetermined number of times the processing period to obtain a torque command for driving a servomotor.
A feedforward control method for a servo system in which a position and speed loop process is periodically carried out a plural number of times within one distribution period in accordance with a move command periodically distributed from an upperlevel control device, comprising the steps of: (a) executing a position loop process in each position and speed loop processing period in accordance with a corresponding move command to calculate a provisional speed command; (b) calculating a mean value of each said move command from a move command corresponding to one of said each position and speed loop processing period and move commands corresponding to position and speed loop processing periods preceding and subsequent to said one position and speed loop processing period; (c) calculating a feedforward controlled variable in accordance with said mean value of the move commands; and (d) correcting said provisional speed command using said calculated feedforward controlled variable to obtain a speed command.
