Abstract
Servomotors have found widespread application in many areas, such as manufacturing, robotics, automation, and others. Thus, the control of servomotors is divided into various principles and methods, leading to a high diversity of control systems. This article provides an overview of types of servomotors and their basic principles and control methods. Principles such as digital signal processing, feedback control principle, field-oriented control, and integration with Industry 4.0 are discussed. Based on these control principles, the article presents popular control methods: PWM control, current control, two-loop control, fuzzy-logic control, and programmable control. The article concludes with a comparison of the presented methods on several criteria, and as an example, it includes the results of modeling a servomotor using the fuzzy-logic control method.Keywords
