Interpolation for 'everyday' motion control
You can add interpolation functions to your motion control application
using new Logix software from Rockwell Automation. Normally associated
with CNC controllers and conceived as something of a 'black art' in
motion control programming, creating interpolated moves on the Logix
platform is claimed to be a lot easier than using the G & M codes of CNC
controller programming.
The user simply defines the two or three axes to be controlled, then the
linear or circular move is defined using a standard IEC based program. A
'via' command takes the path through given points in an arc, while
'centre' calculates an arc from the centre of a circle or 'radius'
calculates the arc from a given radius. An on-screen plot facility allows
the progress of the path to be monitored to ensure that it is correct
before it is applied.
