The present invention provides a high response inexpensive microprocessor based digital control system. The digital control system uses only one detector that detects only one motion characteristic of the device controlled by the system. In the preferred embodiment, the digital control system controls the field orientation, the position and the velocity of a movable member of a brushless motor by creating commands that represent the desired position of the movable member 1024 times per second. The system also provides methods for improving the accuracy and precision of the system.

A method of returning a movable machine element having a flat dog to a zero point includes advancing the movable machine element in the direction of the flat dog, stopping the movable machine element after a changeover signal (S.sub.D) produced by the flat dog is detected, reversing the direction of the movable machine element, moving the movable machine element a first predetermined distance (L) and stopping it after the changeover signal (S.sub.D) is received again, then moving the movable machine element in the opposite direction a second predetermined distance (l) shorter than the first predetermined distance (L) and stopping the movable machine element, thereafter moving the movable machine element at a low velocity and stopping it at an initial one-revolution signal of a servomotor, which operates the movable machine element, after the changeover signal produced by the flat dog is detected.

A system and method are disclosed for precisely positioning a movable member to a desired fine position after a selected coarse position is reached. In a preferred embodiment of the invention a processor-controlled typewheel servo control system is responsive to a command signal for a selected coarse position for selectively utilizing from a memory circuit preselected stored adjustment information for the selected coarse position comprised of an associated coarse position count and quadrant information related to the sinusoids generated by an optical encoder in order to make a precise fine position adjustment in the position of a typewheel after the selected coarse position is reached for that typewheel.

Disclosed is a device for regulating motion of a drive component moving along or about a follower axis in response to linear motion of a master drive driven along or about a guiding axis x. The device includes two sensors for sensing the actual displacement along or about the two axes to produce two pairs of phase-shifted timing signals defining the actual displacements about respective axes. The timing signals are applied to a regulating difference generator which includes a forward/backward counter whose output delivers the regulating difference signal. The output of the counter is coupled to the follower drive. A desired displacement signal for the guiding axis is directly applied to the master drive.

An adaptive motor pulsing apparatus for a driven element positioning system is disclosed which divides the available time between recurring motor on periods and motor off periods, and which also varies the duty cycle of the motor during successive on periods in order to provide precise positioning control. The final approach uses a "nudging" technique which increases the duty cycle by increments until forward motion of the driven element is detected.

A closed-loop feedback-controlled servo system is disclosed which reduces command-to-response error to the system's position feedback resolution least increment, .DELTA.S.sub.R, on a continuous real-time basis for all operating speeds. The servo system employs a second position feedback control loop on a by exception basis, when the command-to-response error .gtoreq..DELTA.S.sub.R, to produce precise position correction signals. When the command-to-response error is less than .DELTA.S.sub.R, control automatically reverts to conventional control means as the second position feedback control loop is disconnected, becoming transparent to conventional servo control means. By operating the second unique position feedback control loop used herein at the appropriate clocking rate, command-to-response error may be reduced to the position feedback resolution least increment. The present system may be utilized in combination with a tachometer loop for increased stability.

A method and apparatus for controlling the return of a movable element of a machine tool to a predetermined grid point by controlling a movable element drive device in accordance with feedback pulses generated while the drive device is being driven to transport the movable element between grid points. The method includes the steps of specifying a position remote from the predetermined grid point by a distance which is less than the spacing between grid points, computing the deviation between the specified position and the current position of the movable element, positioning the movable element at the specified position by driving the drive device on the basis of the computed deviation and the feedback pulses, and driving the drive device at reduced speed to stop the movable element at the first grid point encountered following the initiation of reduced-speed drive.

A system employed in a machine tool of the type in which a gear mechanism disposed between the spindle and spindle motor transmits the rotational motion of the motor to the spindle. The system allows the spindle to be brought to a stop at a predetermined rotational position in a shorter period of time when the gear mechanism is set in low gear, that is, while the rotational speed of the motor is being reduced by the gear mechanism as it is being transferred to the spindle. This permits the spindle to be stopped at the predetermined position in the same amount of time which is required when no reduction in speed takes place between the motor and spindle. When the spindle arrives at a region where it is to be controlled in order to stop at the predetermined rotational position, a position deviation signal for guiding the spindle to the position is applied as an input signal to a speed control loop for controlling spindle rotation. The position deviation signal varies in dependence upon the gear ratio of the spindle gear mechanism. Positioning gain, which is obtained by dividing the speed of the spindle motor by an amount of spindle motor rotation that depends upon the position deviation of the spindle; is controlled so that it remains constant regardless of the speed change ratio between the spindle and spindle motor as determined by the gear mechanism.

Manipulation-variable separated type control method and apparatus are used in a control system with a control element and a feedback element for an object being controlled or controlled object. The apparatus comprises a detector for detecting a relative value of a controlled variable, a first adder for applying a difference between a relative value output of the relative value detector and a relative reference value, and a second adder totalizing an output of the control element and an absolute reference value, for generating a signal representative of a manipulation variable for the controlled object. The absolute reference value for the manipulation variable is set to a nominal reference value for the controlled object in normal operation and applied to the controlled object irrespective of disturbances of the system. The relative reference value for the controlled variable is normally variable within an allowable change range of the controlled variable and is set such that the change of the manipulation variable determined by a deviation from the detected relative value is minimized for the absolute reference value.

A motor control positioning apparatus and method are disclosed wherein variable duration pulses are fed to a DC motor. After the vicinity of the destination has been reached, the final pulsing stage is initiated, in which a short duration pulse is fed to the motor; position is then checked to determine if forward movement of the driven element has occured; and if movement has not occurred, the pulse duration is increased by an increment which is repeated until movement does occur. Thereupon a new series of such pulses is started; and this cycling continues until destination is reached.
