Project: January 2009 – February 2009 (2 months)
Description
Firmware expansion for compact drives to include client-specific functions. Based on pre-existing driver firmware, the backlash is compensated by the software method ‚Pilger Rolling/Looping‘ in order to achieve higher positioning precision. Using this method, all positions are addressed only from one direction. This means that the target positon is always addressed from one direction while, in the opposing direction, the target position will be skipped by a value larger than the backlash and then addressed afterwards.
