Fuzzy Logic Servo Controller
This servo controller is based on the 16-bit Freescale 9S12XD family of dual core microcontrollers. The main processor runs at 40MHz and requires only 6usec of processing time for a complete 5x5 fuzzy logic iteration. Incremental optical encoder feedback is handled by the 80MHz RISC co-processor to ensure that high pulse rates do not affect the functioning of the main servo loop. The maximum event rate of the optical encoder software is 2^19 events per second. This rate is equivalent to a 5000 ppr encoder rotating at 6291rpm or a 1600 ppr encoder rotating at 19660 rpm.
The Programmers Guide is the API for designing embedded or PC applications to control a network of these servo controllers. A .NET based test application is provided for immediate access to the controller via the USB to CAN Gateway device.
