Motion System With Sensor Outputs And Haptic Controls

A method of operating a motor control module, comprising:

• at an amplifier subsystem:
• driving a motor;
• and
• outputting motor data indicating status of the motor;
• and
• at a profile generation subsystem:
• issuing motor control commands to the amplifier subsystem;
• generating motor summary data based on the motor data;
• and
• selectively outputting an error signal based on at least one of the motor data and motor summary data.

A method of operating a motor control module, comprising:

• at an amplifier subsystem:
• driving a motor;
• generating motor data indicating status of the motor;
• and
• generating motor summary data based on the motor data;
• and
• at a profile generation subsystem:
• issuing motor control commands to the amplifier subsystem;
• receiving at least one of the motor data and motor summary data from the amplifier subsystem;
• selectively outputting an error signal based on at least one of the motor data and motor summary data.

A method of operating a motor control module, comprising:

• receiving first motor data indicating status of a motor;
• calculating, at an amplifier subsystem, motor summary data based on the motor data;
• determining, at a profile generation subsystem, whether the motor data exhibits a drift based on the motor summary data;
• and
• selectively outputting an error signal based on the drift.

A method of operating a motor control module, comprising:

• at a first processing block in a processing chain:
• receiving first motor data indicating status of a motor;
• calculating at least one of a mean and a standard deviation of the first motor data;
• storing the first calculated data as a first stored value;
• waiting a set period of time;
• receiving second motor data indicating status of a motor;
• calculating at least one of a mean and a standard deviation of the second motor data;
• storing the second calculated data as a second stored value;
• determining if a drift from the first stored value has occurred;
• and
• outputting first summary data, the first summary data indicating at least one of the mean and a drift from a stored status value;
• and
• at a second processing block in the processing chain:
• receiving the first summary data indicating drift of a motor;
• and
• determining an error action based on the drift of a motor.
