Abstract: A system for motion control in which an application is developed that is independent from the actual motion control hardware used to implement the system. The system comprises a software system that employs an application programming interface comprising component functions and a service provider interface comprising driver functions. A system programmer writes an application that calls the component functions. Code associated with the component functions relates these functions to the driver functions. A hardware designer writes driver code that implements the driver functions on a given motion control hardware product. The driver functions are separated into core and extended driver functions. All software drivers implement the core driver functions, while the software drivers need not contain code for implementing the extended driver functions. If the software driver does not contain code to implement an extended driver function, the functionality of the extended driver function is obtained through a combination of core driver functions. The system programmer may also select one or more streams that allow the control commands to be communicated to, and response data to be communicated from, motion control hardware.

Abstract: The parameterization information needed in a universal motion controller UMC (description of system variables, alarms, and commands) is generated from a uniform description language via a central converter (U) and distributed to the engineering system (ES1-ES4), run time system (RTS1-RTS4), and output media (AM) for documentation. This ensures the consistency of parameterization data for all system parts. In addition, configuration information (FWK) from technology packets (TP) can be imported into the engineering (ES1-ES4) and run time RTS1-RTS4) systems of the controller.

Abstract: A packaging machine under control of an electronic control system is set forth. The packaging machine includes a plurality of servo driven packaging stations that execute the processes required to fill and seal a carton. Each of the packaging stations is driven by one or more servomotors associated therewith. A plurality of servo amplifiers are connected to the servomotors to control the rotational movement of the servomotors thereby to effect control of the motion of the various components associated with each if the packaging stations. The packaging machine further includes at least two programmable devices connected for communication over a common bus. A programmable axis manager (PAM) is connected to control the plurality of servo amplifiers and, thus, the motion profiles of the servomotors and components of the respective processing station. A programmable logic controller (PLC) is connected to receive and transmit input/output signals associated with the plurality of packaging stations. The PAM and the PLC communicate data variable values over the common bus using predetermined fingerprints assigned to each variable value. Use of the fingerprint/variable value protocol allows high speed communication between the PLC and PAM thereby allowing the PLC and PAM to be viewed as a single control unit.

Abstract: A servomotor driven machine under control of a control system which compensates for the slip and other errors associated with indirectly driving a movable component of the machine with a servomotor is set forth. The control system includes a servomotor that is connected through an intermediate drive mechanism to drive the movable component from a start position to an end position. A sensing system is disposed on the apparatus for generating an output signal indicative of at least one motion characteristic of the movable component. A controller drives the servomotor in accordance with a predetermined motion profile. The predetermined motion profile defines the motion characteristics of the movable component as the movable component moves from the start position to the end position within a predetermined time frame. The controller is responsive to the output signal of the sensing system to compensate for movement errors caused by the intermediate drive mechanism by deviating from the predetermined motion profile.

Abstract: Ultrasonic sealing apparatus, including at least one anvil and at least one transducer opposed to the anvil to transmit ultrasonic energy to a workpiece clamped between them, is disclosed. The anvil and sealing horn each are reciprocated between an open position allowing a carton to pass and a closed position for sealing a closure. A biasing element is connected between the anvil or the horn and its drive to define the sealing pressure developed between the anvil and the horn. The biasing force can be adjusted without stopping the machine, by using an externally applied pneumatic force. The anvil has a backing element, a facing member, a body, and a resilient pad separating the body from the facing member. The backing element has a curved front surface facing the transducer. The back surface of the anvil pad is curved similarly to and bears against the curved front surface of the backing element. A fastener is provided for selectively fixing the anvil pad and the backing element together or allowing the anvil pad to shift along the curved surface of the backing element for aligning the anvil with respect to the transducer. The apparatus may also include cooling fluid passages within the facing member and extending through the anvil body and the resilient pad for carrying fluid from the source of cooling fluid through the facing member of the anvil. A method for aligning the anvils and transducers of a ultrasonic sealing apparatus as described above is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of debugging software used to communicate with a motion control system comprising the following steps. Debug information containing diagnostic information associated with a hardware motion control attribute is generated. At least one selected software driver is capable of sending the debug information to a debug target. A software application is caused to call a motion component function to exchange a common motion control attribute with a selected software driver. The called motion component function is used to cause a motion component to exchange a common motion control attribute with the selected driver by calling a driver function. A called driver function is used to cause the selected software driver to convert a common motion control attribute to a hardware motion control attribute, exchange a hardware motion control attribute with the motion control device, and send debug information to the debug target.

Abstract: A synchronous controller is formed with a cycle master module and one or more control modules doubly connected through a synchronous bus and an event bus. The event bus is used for transmitting data with a larger volume. The control modules each cyclically carry out execution of a user program for controlling an object apparatus to be controlled. The cycle master module exchanges data with the control modules through the event bus and the synchronous bus. Each of the control modules carries out one cycle of the execution of the user program by using reception of synchronous data transmitted from the cycle master module through the synchronous bus as a trigger.
