Trang 4In this second edition of Industrial Servo Control Systems, the chapters have been updated and expanded and a new chapter has been added on servo compensating techniques The book continues to be dedicated to the practicing engineer making the transition from academic theory to the real-world solution of engineering problems related to the application of servo drives to industrial machines
Part I focuses on the evolution and classification of servos, with descriptions of servo drive actuators, amplifiers, feedback transducers, performance, and troubleshooting techniques Part II discusses system analogs and vectors, with a review of differential equations The concept of transfer functions for the representation of differential equations is discussed in preparation for block diagram concepts Discussion of the mathematical equations for electric servo motors has been expanded to include both DC and brushless DC servo motors The equations for mechanical and electrical time constants are derived with additional analysis
on the effects of temperature on these time constants
The representation of servo drive components by their transfer function is followed by the combination of these servo drive building blocks into system block diagrams Frequency response techniques are introduced because of their usefulness in determining proper servo compensation Also included are practical formulas for calculating inertia and examples that show how machine components reflect inertia to the
Trang 5servo drive motor Torque-to-inertia ratios for electric servomotors are discussed along with calculations of the reflected inertias for various machine configurations These reflected inertias are critical when sizing the drive and motor and when determining time constants for a stability analysis Servo drive analysis and servo compensation techniques include the use of lag and lead compensation for analog-type servo drive amplifiers This discussion is followed by a description of proportional, integral, and differential compensation, which is very popular with digital-type amplifiers
To classify practical servo performance criteria, the use of servo indexes of performance is discussed for both electrical and hydraulic servo drives The chapter on servo plant compensation techniques addresses the continuing problems of structural dynamics and resonances in industrial machinery This type of compensation is different from feedback control compensation in that it uses special electrical devices and software algorithms to correct for machine nonlinearities and mechanical resonance problems Nonlinearities of dead zone and change-in-gain to overcome such machine problems as stiction and cogging of the servo drive at low velocities are covered The topic of simple and practical notch networks used to compensate for machine mechanical resonances has been expanded to include frequency selective feedback with suggestions for software implementation This edition also includes a discussion on the use of a control technique known as feedforward control to minimize the position errors of machine axes with widely varying dynamics Chapters on servo drive stiffness and drive resolution are an integral part of the analysis of industrial servo drives Coverage of speed and acceleration has been broadened to include the derivation and application of ‘‘S’’ type acceleration Machine considerations for ball screw resonances have been expanded to include ball screw critical speed, axial, and torsional resonance calculations, and drive ratio considerations have been expanded to include worm/wheel gear boxes Friction considerations include the three types of friction and their relation to servo drives on industrial machines
One important aspect of selecting a servo for a given application is sizing the drive, because the servo must be large enough to meet the load requirements Manual drive sizing forms for both electric and hydraulic servo drives are included in this book The electric drive sizing forms have been expanded to include both DC and brushless DC drives
Chapter 14is entirely new and reviews the process of compensating an electric servo drive It is assumed that this industrial servo drive has a brushless DC motor with a current loop An example is given for the case in which the motor and current loop are closed with a position loop, and also with a velocity and a position loop The application of proportional plus
Trang 6integral compensation is used throughout Chapter 14 and detailed in the inclusion of machine structural resonances in the position servo loop Once a servo drive has been properly sized for a given machine, it is necessary to determine whether the machine and servo drive will be stable There are many classical engineering methods that can be used, but it is also possible to use high-speed computer iterative techniques to simulate the control–servo drive–machine combination Transient step responses in input are used in this simulation since it is readily possible to duplicate them on an actual machine and compare the results Machine simulation is used to predict performance before the machine is built Machine simulation includes the significant parameters of the servo drive: the nonlinearities of feedback; coulomb, static, and viscous friction; machine structural resonance; and machine mass A number of examples are presented with case histories for comparing simulated response with actual response
My contemporaries encouraged me to pull together a lifetime of servo drive experience and write the first edition of this book The second edition updates, expands, and increases the usefulness of this book to the practicing engineer
I am sincerely grateful to Dr Thomas Higgins for providing me, as a student, with the academic tools needed in the field of feedback control I
am also grateful to Dr John Bollinger and Dr Robert Lorenz from the University of Wisconsin, for their help over the last 45 years in researching, teaching, and applying principles that have been critical in improving the performance of servo drives Tom Rehm, my friend of 40 years and a fellow software ‘‘hacker,’’ has been a great help in software technology In addition, I would like to thank the Giddings and Lewis Machine Tool Company for providing the atmosphere for study and research in the field of industrial servo drives, and my family for their long years of patience as my career progressed
