Fundamental to the control of mechatronic devices, the
servomechanism applies feedback from the device in question to
regulate its position, velocity, or some other physical attribute.
Successful mastery of servo control requires an understanding of a
wide range of engineering disciplines, making it difficult and
time-consuming to master it all-and even harder to find an
all-encompassing guide that shows you how. DC Servos: Application
and Design with MATLAB (R) is designed and written with this
problem in mind. It breaks down the practical knowledge required
from the various branches of applied science-electrical and
mechanical engineering, analog electronics, mechanics, control
theory, digital electronics, embedded computing, and firmware
design-into a cohesive and usable framework. Today, DC servos are
working around the world in countless applications-CD players,
ink-jet printers, robots, machining centers, vending machines,
eyeglass manufacturing machines, home appliances, and automotive
seat positioners, just to name a few. This book balances coverage
of theoretical and practical aspects of application and design of
DC servomechanisms. It also provides detailed coverage of feedback
transducers, particularly the application of optical encoders to
real systems. It covers how to use the MATLAB (R) Control System
Toolbox specifically for servo design, to make the design process
faster and more interactive. It also presents two complete,
bench-tested reference designs that can be duplicated using readily
available parts, so you can build your own servo and see it in
action. Author Stephen M. Tobin is an expert in motion control and
electro-optical instrumentation and a respected consultant in the
medical device and manufacturing automation communities. In order
to instill confidence in the engineers, scientists, students, and
hobbyists designing the ever more complex machines of the 21st
century, Tobin guides the reader on a short journey through "servo
school," imparting his lifelong passion for motion control along
the way.
