| Syllabus: | Mechatronic Motion system design - Modelling electro-mechanical drive systems. Motion sensing technology. Incremental optical encoder. Position control - use of PID and model-based control schemes. Mechatronic Automation - Manipulator terminology. Coordinate frames. Homgenous matrix transformations. DOF/DOM. Industrial Robotics and Modular Automation. Mechatronic Drive technologies - Electrical actuators. Relative advantages. Applications and control characteristics. Dc servo motors, terminology, driver circuits. Sizing/selection of dc servo motors, duty cycle load calculations. Design exercise - Working in groups of two students are required to design and implement a PC based motion controller for a dc motor drive system. This includes the interface electronics, software, modelling and analysis of a number of control schemes for position control. |
