摘要:
A method for generating nominal position values for a position control loop of a numerically continuous-path controlled machine. The method includes presetting nominal position values with a defined interpolator clock rate, digitally filtering the preset nominal position values and transmitting the digitally filtered nominal position values to a position control loop, which with them controls motion of a machine on a path curve at a defined position control clock rate. Adjusting the digitally filtering nominal position values as a function of dynamic characteristics of the machine and adjusting an interpolator clock rate as a function of the dynamic characteristics of the machine.

The invention makes it possible to execute the pre-control and the fine interpolation in the drive (A) in the fast drive clock (tDR) with a slower path pre-setting in the clock (tNC) of the NC. For this purpose, in each NC clock (tNC) a setpoint speed value (nNC*) and the P gain (kP) of the NC position controller (L_NC) and the desired axle speed (nNC) and the average axle speed (nNCMW) during the last NC position controller clock are transferred from the NC to the drive. From this information, polynomial segments of the third degree are in each case generated on the drive side, valid for the duration of an NC position controller clock (tNC). They are constructed in such a way that the speed at the polynomial transitions is constant. A variable component of the position polynomial is determined as the fine position component xF, with which the setpoint position values are finely interpolated in the drive. Furthermore, the speed (nVor) and the torque (iVor) can also be pre-controlled in a finely interpolated form in the drive, since the polynomial of the third degree can be differentiated twice.

An interpolation method in an automatic programming, capable of properly determining and programming target movement amounts for individual axes in each interpolation cycle at the time of executing a numerical control program. In the case where the length (P') of the last one of a plurality of sub-sections, obtained by dividing a section from the starting point (A) to the end point (B) of each block in a program by a target movement amount (P) per interpolation cycle, is smaller than the value (P), and when an angle (.theta.) between the paths of the block concerned and the next block is smaller than a reference angle or when the angle (.theta.) is larger than the reference angle and the sub-section length (P') is smaller than a reference length, an intersection at which a sphere having the starting point (an) of the last sub-section as its center and theh value (P) as its radius crosses the target movement path of the next block is derived by the overlapping process, and the interpolation process for the last sub-section is effected with the intersection used as the target end point of the last sub-section. On the other hand, when the angle (.theta.) and the length (P') are larger than the reference angle and reference length, respectively, the interpolation process is effected with the original end point (B) used as the target end point of the last sub-section, without effecting the overlapping process.

A numerical control system performs path interpolation calculations for the control of highly dynamic processes having different path contour geometries wherein a vector having a length L connects in linear form a first point P1 to a second point P2. These points are located in three dimensional Cartesian space having axes x, y, and z. Length L has Cartesian components X, Y and Z and is subject to an angular rotation C about the z axis. The system also has process parameters S and K wherein S is an address identifying the parameter to be modified and K identifies the modified parameter value. A coarse interpolator outputs the path elements L, X, Y, Z and C and the parameters S and K between path increments as course interpolations which are a function of the path contour geometry but are independent of time frame. A fine interpolator having an intermediate memory is connected downstream from the course interpolator. The fine interpolator outputs the path elements and parameters as fine interpolations. The intermediate memory receives, for intermediate storage and subsequent processing, the course interpolations from the course interpolator. There is no joint fixed grid frame for data exchange between the two interpolators. Control means operates in time independence from the coarse interpolator and controls the fine interpolator with its memory to perform the fine interpolation steps and the outputting of parameters S and K in real time.

A numerically controlled machine includes a first computer which stores command data for a path and derives sets of interpolation point data from said command data for a plurality of points along the path. A second computer stores two sets of interpolation point data from said first computer and extrapolates a set of said stored interpolation point data by incrementing velocity with acceleration and position with velocity using a noncircular high order polynomial to produce a sequence of driver command signals.A timing means provides timing signals to the second computer to determine the number and rate of iterations of drive command signals in said sequence as predetermined by the first computer for each set of interpolation point data.The program execution time in the second computer is reduced by a unique method of multiprecision calculation which requires a carry flip flop for each variable calculated and a sign flip flop for eliminated word segments. The memory address decoding for the two sets of interpolation point data are interchanged after each sequence invisibly to the computers. An index register causes data memory address decoding for a plurality of motor drivers invisible to the computers and selects an output to the appropriate motor driver. The second computer includes a manual mode program to calculate the sequence of driver command signals using a manually induced velocity vector. A phased locked loop in the timing means controllably reduces the iteration rate to zero in response to an error signal.

The disclosure describes a digital servo control circuit to actuate an analog servo motor smoothly from an actual present position to a new desired servo position in response to digital information from a computer. The control circuit described receives from a computer digital information representative of a new position desired at a predetermined velocity rate. Such information normally is pre-timed to correspond with a preselected timing rate in the digital computer. A position signal generator is responsive to such pre-timed digital information to generate a predetermined number of position signals intermediate of the pre-timed digital information to achieve the desired smooth operation of the servo motor.
摘要:
A method and system for producing relative movement of an element along two perpendicular axes to closely approximate a desired path with the movement being sub-divided into a plurality of successive lengths with a determination being made of the number of steps for each axis that is needed to constitute each length. The number of steps in adjacent lengths on each axis is made to vary only within a constant amount so that the minimum and maximum lengths of each next length is determinable from its preceding length. The determination for each length involves calculating in one operation the deviation from the desired path for a minimum length and then calculating the addition of individual steps thereto within limits of deviation and velocity to arrive at the most acceptable length. This reduces the number of calculations as compared to prior known systems which calculate each individual step.The determination for each length produces a number for each axis and each number is translated into essentially constant rate pulses occurring over a time interval. The time interval is preferably made constant for all lengths and is dictated by a motor means ability to translate a pulse into a step so that at the end of each time interval, the motor means velocity essentially equals the pulse rate on each axis in the length.

摘要:
A computer numerical control system for providing more efficient execution of part program blocks. The computer numerical control system selectively may be utilized in a synchronous mode in which the part program blocks are executed under control of a logic engine. This synchronous operation may be changed to an asynchronous operation, and vice versa, by providing a synchronization control parameter in the part program. Additionally, the system may be switched to an auto-synchronous mode in which part program block execution automatically is accomplished in either synchronous mode or asynchronous mode depending on the content of the data blocks being processed.
