<p>A unified modular system (A) of drives and controls for a mobile robotic application includes a first control module (4a) that covers a full range of commonly used speeds and motions. Second and subsequent drive modules (8) can be chained to the first drive module (2) for more complex motion control. Control modules (4a) for different functions can be interchangeably plugged into the first drive module (2) to control the first drive module (2) and the second and subsequent drive modules (8) to enable the motor complex motions. The drive modules (2, 8) and control modules (4a) include a common bus that enables addition of new functions to create new machines for different applications.</p> |
