A frequency‐locked position servo control system by microprocessor‐based slope‐varied technique

A microprocessor‐based slope‐varied frequency‐pumped controller (μP‐SVFPC) for improving the locking performance of the frequency‐locked position servo control system (FLPS) is presented. The presented slope‐varied pump technique is to perform the position control process fast for a long distance servo, while nearly similar acquisition times for different distance servos are obtained during the servo range. The motion profiles for system locking are adaptively generated according to the coming frequency error. No motion profiles are required to be pre‐installed in the controller. A prototype of μP‐FLPS is realized, simulated, and tested. Computer simulation and experimental result confirm that the system acquisition times of μP‐FLPS for short, middle, and long distance servos are nearly similar to each other. In comparison with the basic FLPS system, the acquisition times of the presented μP‐FLPS for the middle and long distance servos are improved by about 58% and 85%, respectively.
