(Yrecitec/) ADAPTIVE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY Adaptive Control Technology What is ACT and How Does It Work? ACT's based on the latest developments in control system theory, generally referred to as “State Control”. ACTis an ‘adaptive controller that uses feedback of various states to continually fine tune system modules ond adjust various control parameters. ACT ako utiizes active cancellation technology. similar in concept to noise canceling headsets, fo counteract repetitive disturbing energies and resulting errors. The concept of “state” is central fo understanding ACT. In machine controls, the state of the system consists of @ vector, or interrelated group of signals. The most obvious states inciude position and velocity. There are additional states that influence control perfomance such as acceleration, a disturbance state (to capture the effect of disturbing forces acting on the system) and system state models that relate to motor dynamics and structural modes within an axis Benefits of AC ‘State Command Dee ue) + acer nee ot Leonean ACT State Controller Potente k (asia ter & compensation parameters) LY a P Error State Analyzer | ™j," | Estimator [eeaHErnEeHan esas eeeene eee eee canceled and reduced ok Peer tes!
