DMC’s customer needed a way to tightly synchronize the motion of two Parker motors, while also acquiring data at high speeds and controlling other digital and analog outputs in real time. DMC’s solution followed a phased project approach that aimed to accomplish each major system requirement in the order of its importance to the system. DMC started with the motion control, as this was essential to the project’s success. DMC developed and validated a driver set for controlling a single motor using the Ethernet communication protocol. This driver was then applied to the other motor, and independent speed and position movements were proven out on the system. The next major requirement was synchronous control of both servos. Using the driver sets previously mentioned, DMC proved out tight sync
