OC9: Servos Course

This course aims to provide engineers working in motion control with a strong background of application related skills when integrating Omron mechatronic products. Focusing on the MC402 motion controller, the course is modular in format. Each module consists of a hands-on, practical workshop. Dedicated training equipment and PC based programming tools are used to assist attendees in developing new skills and to produce functionally correct and well-structured software solutions.

Introduction to servo systems:

• Closed loop systems
• Pulse train vs analogue

Introduction to Motion Perfect:

• Connecting to the MC402
• Project and file management
• Working off-line

Basic construction:

• Programming structure
• Standard BASIC programming operations

Simple linear motion:

• Interpolation
• Data storage and maths functions
• Software gearboxes and cams

Advanced concepts:

• Print registration
• Using vitual axis

Multi-tasking:

• Why use multi-tasking?
• Communicating between tasks

Communicating with C200H Alpha PLCs

This course is ideally suited to those engineers who are becoming, or are already involved in complex motion systems. It is recommended that attendees have an understanding of programming in a structured high level language, prior to participating in the OC9 course.
