<p>An electronic control system for a machine tool employs a monitoring system for monitoring the absolute position of a reversibly (and linearly or rotationally) movable moving member in the machine tool. The monitoring system includes a clock, a digital feedback position counter having a predetermined count range, an exciter, a feedback device responsive to movement of the movable member, a digital position storage device, a zero crossing detector, and a zero position counter. The feedback position counter, which operates at a clock frequency, controls the exciter which provides a pulsed exciter signal to the feedback device. The feedback position counter also provides a position count Nc to the position storage device and to the zero position counter. The feedback device provides, through a zero crossing detector, a pulsed feedback signal to the position storage device (and to the zero position counter) and the phase shift between the exciter signal and feedback signal is linearly related to the displacement of the moving member. The position storage device provides a continuously updated position number Np which is also linearly related to member displacement, i.e., the position of the member. The zero position counter typically comprised of a synchronous 4-bit bi-directional binary counter provides a zero position count Nz to the representative of the net number of times the position number Np passes through zero between consecutive samples. A computer, coupled to the position storage device and to the zero position counter, processes the position number Np and the zero position number to unambiguously determine the speed of the moving member.</p> |
