Control Techniques DB420

DB420 Control Techniques is a comprehensive course designed to provide individuals with an in-depth knowledge of servo drive control techniques. Servo drives are used in a wide range of applications, including robotics, automation, and manufacturing, to precisely control the position, velocity, and acceleration of a motor.

The course covers various concepts and techniques related to servo drive control. It starts by introducing the fundamentals of motion control, including open-loop control and closed-loop control systems. Participants will learn about the different types of motor feedback devices, such as encoders and resolvers, and how they are used to provide accurate position and velocity feedback.

The course then delves into the principles of PID control, which is a popular control algorithm used in servo drive systems. Participants will learn how to tune PID controllers to achieve optimal performance in terms of stability, responsiveness, and accuracy.

Additionally, the course covers advanced control techniques, such as feedforward control and gain scheduling. These techniques are used to compensate for disturbances and non-linearities in the system, ensuring precise and consistent control even in challenging operating conditions.

Throughout the course, participants will gain hands-on experience through practical exercises and simulations. They will learn how to program servo drives using industry-standard software and explore various control parameters and settings.
