A novel apparatus for motion control experiments

In control classes, students usually have some confusion when they study on actual operation of a motion control system. Motion control education requires hands-on experiments to catch the concept of control, but experimental apparatus for motion control experiments is expensive, complex in mechanism and is also hard to use in general. Therefore, a motion control apparatus which is easy to use, simple and reliable is very useful for students. This paper shows a novel apparatus which is used for motion control experiments. This real-time apparatus is appropriate for tests of conventional and advanced control logics with cheap prices. The validity of the developed motion control apparatus is demonstrated by testing PD control logic and ZVD input shapers experimentally.
