Abstract
A system for accepting commands of the number of steps in a movement and for producing motion commands in a motion system that divides the movement into the number of steps in successive time intervals with the motion commands consisting of altering the number of steps between adjacent time intervals that are required to produce the movement.
Claims11
A motion control system for accepting an input command of the number of steps in an incremental movement and producing said movement comprising means for providing a representation of the number of steps in the movement with each representation being unique for each number of steps, means for providing a plurality of successive time intervals for the movement, means for representing each time interval with a representation unique to it, motion means for providing one number of steps for each time interval from a plurality of different numbers and for accepting a signal to increase, decrease or not change the number of steps in the next time interval from the previous time interval, and means for simultaneously sensing both representations and supplying the signal for each time interval.
