PCU Control System
This section describes the configuration, principles, and basic information on
position control when using a control system configured with a PCU and a
W-series Servo Drive.
7-1-1
Control System Configuration and Principles
The control system configured using the PCU basically controls Servomotor
operations using the semi-closed loop method. The semi-closed loop method
detects the number of Servomotor rotations for the command value using the
rotary encoder mounted to the Servomotor, and sends this feedback as the
machine's travel distance. While calculating the deviation between the com-
mand value and actual number of Servomotor rotations, the machine is con-
trolled so that the deviation is compensated to 0.
In the PCU system configuration, a feedback system is configured in the
Servo Drive, without using feedback information for the commands sent from
the CPU Unit's ladder program to the PCU and Servo Drive.
7-1-2
Position Control
The control system configured using the PCU uses the Servo Drive's position
loop to perform position control. The PCU achieves positioning by using the
Servo Drive's position control functions together with control units and coordi-
nate systems.
