The hardware composition of a motion controller is very simple, which is connected correctly through the I/O interface terminals of a PLC. It mostly uses a single-chip microcomputer to control the operation mode of the motor, and a dedicated controller can be developed using the rich software already available on a PC. It controls various types of mechanical equipment production through digital or analog input and output, improving the reliability of the system.
The motion control software of PLC programmable logic controller has good code universality and portability. It mainly controls the relay by controlling the output signal. The motion controller usually uses a touch screen as the human-machine interface and develops the use of control card resources using advanced programming languages such as C++.
Overall, PLC has flexible configuration, high reliability, and easy programming. Compared to motion controllers, it has higher accuracy. By adopting different acceleration and deceleration control strategies and automatically adjusting the amplitude and phase of the control variables, it can be developed using the rich software already available on the PC, and connected to the CPU motherboard through a bus to reduce programming difficulty.
