1.Brief of integrated servo motor
An integrated servo motor combines the motor, encoder, drive, and controller into a single, compact unit. This simplifies wiring, reduces installation time, and enhances reliability compared to traditional servo systems. It's essentially a "plug and play" solution for motion control, offering advantages in terms of size, ease of use, and performance.
2.The working steps of integarted servo motor
1.Control Signal:An external controller (or sometimes a built-in one) sends a control signal to the integrated servo motor.
2.Drive Function:The drive interprets the control signal and provides the appropriate power to the motor.
3.Motor Rotation:The motor rotates based on the power supplied by the drive.
4.Feedback:The encoder continuously monitors the motor's position and speed, providing feedback to the drive.
5.Closed-Loop Control:The drive uses the feedback information to precisely control the motor's movement, ensuring it reaches and maintains the desired position and speed.
3.Structure advantages of integrated servo motor
1.Compact Design:The integration of all components into a single housing significantly reduces the overall footprint of the servo system. This is particularly beneficial in space-constrained applications like robotics, medical devices, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
2.Simplified Wiring:Traditional servo systems require multiple cables for power, feedback, and control signals. Integrated servo motors streamline wiring, reducing the number of cables and connection points. This leads to easier installation, improved reliability, and reduced risk of wiring errors.
3.Precision Control:Integrated servo motors often incorporate high-resolution encoders and sophisticated control algorithms. This enables precise positioning, speed control, and torque control, making them ideal for applications requiring accurate motion, such as robotic arms and automated manufacturing processes.
4.Reduced Electromagnetic Interference (EMI):By minimizing cabling and integrating components, integrated servo motors can reduce EMI, improving the overall stability and performance of the system.
5.Ease of Integration:The integrated design simplifies the integration process, allowing for quicker installation and setup. This can lead to reduced development time and faster deployment of automated systems.
4.Control methods of integrated servo motor
1.Torque control:The torque control method is to set the external output torque of the motor shaft through external analog input or direct address assignment. For example, if 10V corresponds to 5Nm, when the external analog is set to 5V, the motor shaft Output is 2.5Nm: If the motor shaft load is less than 2.5Nm, the motor will rotate forward. When the external load is equal to 2.5Nm, the motor will not rotate. When the external load is greater than 2.5Nm, the motor will rotate reversely (usually caused by a gravity load). The set torque can be changed by changing the analog setting in real time, or by changing the corresponding address value through communication.
2.Position control:The position control mode generally determines the rotation speed through the frequency of externally input pulses, and determines the rotation angle through the number of pulses. Some servo can also directly assign speed and displacement through communication. Since the position mode can strictly control both speed and position, it is generally used in positioning devices.
3.Speed mode:The rotational speed can be controlled through analog input or pulse frequency. The speed mode can also be used for positioning when there is an outer loop PID control of a host control device, but the position signal of the motor or the position signal of the direct load must be given to the host. Feedback for calculation purposes. The position mode also supports direct load outer ring detection of position signals. At this time, the encoder on the motor shaft end only detects the motor speed, and the position signal is provided by the direct detection device on the final load end. This has the advantage of reducing the need for intermediate transmission. The error increases the positioning accuracy of the entire system.
