Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...

Reconfigurable motion control helps today’s machines boost throughput, increase quality, and lower cost. Here we explain the basics of reconfigurable control and how it changes design approaches and ...

Today’s servo systems depend on accurate, consistent feedback to maintain position, control speed, and execute complex motion ...

Motion control is generally understood to mean the use of servo and/or stepper systems as the “muscle” to move a given load. These motion control systems are capable of extremely precise speed, ...

MPX motion programming library helps users quickly create multi-axis motion, I/O, and Graphical User Interface (GUI) automation programs. September 22, 2007 - WOOD DALE, IL – Danaher Motion introduces ...

Sponsored by Encoder Products Company, Harmonic Drive LLC, maxon, Performance Motion Devices Encoders convert motion to an electrical signal that can be read by some type of control device in a motion ...

Beckhoff USA, Minneapolis, Minn., has unveiled a modular, DIN-rail mounted industrial PC that offers mid-range PLC and motion control functions in one lowcost platform Ormec Inc., Rochester, N.Y., is ...

Motion control has become a fundamental part of industrial, off-road equipment and other automation applications from simple to mechatronic, and programming motion control has been simplified with the ...

In 1984, Michael Bussler created the first finite element analysis (FEA) system for personal computers. Since founding ALGOR Inc. in 1976, he has also pioneered CAE software innovations, including the ...
