Summary: | Industrial demands for higher productivity require the replacement of the
traditional control equipment with newer solutions that take advantage of the
latest technologies. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) based system has
been the main choice for control equipments for the last decades. With the rapid
advancement of computing technologies, the importance of PC-based system
increased remarkably in the last few years. Retrofitting the PLC based system
with the PC-based system offers many advantages. Among these advantages are
PC-based systems are more flexible, easy integration, lower costs, better human
machine interface (HMI) facilities. The implementation of a PC based motion
control on a three-axis ASRS system is the main focus of this work. The scope of
the work covers the implementation of two hardware platforms for the proposed
system and to implement PID system on the two platforms. The development of GUI for the ASRS system provides the users with a comprehensive and user
friendly interface to control the system. The performances of two types of
hardware platforms; PCI 7344 motion controller card and (FP) 2000 Field point is
compared based on trapezoidal motion profile. Both platforms are controlled by a
proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The parameters for the controller
are determined experimentally. The experimental results show that both platforms
successfully tracked the motion profile, and the tracking performance improves as
the velocity of the system increase. Overall this work shows that PC-based system
offers many advantageous to control and ASRS system. |
