Real-time digital control using DSP of a multiple motors system

Abstract EN

A method for achieving the co-ordination and synchronisation of multiple motors on line using DSP is described.

The co-ordination and synchronisation control of motion of multiple motors is a challenging problem, since the synchronisation of each individual motor can be influenced by many factors.

This paper presents the concept and implementation of a scheme that uses a real time control approach to realise drive synchronisation of the multiple motors.

A new Master-Slave configuration is developed.

Imperfect synchronisation can be corrected on-line using DSP.

Also, this paper shows the advantages of using DSP controllers for such applications.

Finally, experimental and simulation results are provided to validate the performance of the digital implementation.
