Motion Control Demo
This demonstration is developed for use with the experimental motion system that you see in the picture, but also makes sense when you do not have this hardware available.
It contains a script that guides you through a fairly complete Model Based Design cycle, starting with a problem formulation as you may encounter in a real industrial production machine, showing you how to set up a model using measured data, first principles modelling and physical modeling tools, and also showing you the setting up, tuning and testing of a new feedback controller with highly improved performance.
A lot can be learned from this demo and the used models: about how the different products/tools can be used in an actual design workflow, but also about motion control in general (modelling, feedback control, trajectory generation, feedforward control, controller tuning, loop-shaping.) Furthermore, if you investigate the models a little deeper, you will find examples of control logic using Stateflow, triggered subsystems, configurable subsystems, using masks, using self-made library models, embedded MATLAB, graphical user interfaces and virtual reality animation.
