    Research on the High Precision Synchronous Control Method of the Fieldbus Control System

    by Lingyu Chen, Jieji Zheng, Dapeng Fan, Ning Chen

    The synchronization control performance of the Fieldbus control system (FCS) is an important guarantee for the completion of multi-axis collaborative machining tasks, and its synchronization control accuracy is one of the decisive factors for the machining quality. To improve the synchronization control accuracy of FCS, this paper first makes a comprehensive analysis of the factors affecting synchronization in FCS. Secondly, by analyzing the communication model of linear Ethernet, a distributed clock compensation method based on timestamps is proposed to solve the asynchronous problem of communication data transmission in the linear ethernet bus topology. Then, based on the CANopen application layer protocol, the FCS communication and device control task collaboration method is proposed to ensure the synchronous control of multiple devices by FCS. Finally, an experimental platform is built for functional verification and performance testing of the proposed synchronization method. The results show that the proposed synchronization method can achieve a communication synchronization accuracy of 50 ns and a device control synchronization accuracy of 150 ns.

    An Elaborate Dynamic Model of the Dual-Motor Precision Transmission Mechanism for Performance Optimization

    by Jieji Zheng, Xin Xie, Ruoyu Tan, Lingyu Chen, Baoyu Li, Dapeng Fan

    The dual-motor precision transmission mechanism (DMPTM) is an alternative way to eliminate backlash while ensuring the stiffness of the servo system. However, most of the established models of DMPTM are not accurate enough, and are not conducive to the optimization of system performance and the design of high-precision controllers. In this paper, based on the detailed linear model of the single components of the DMPTM, the dead-zone model, considering the time-varying stiffness, is proposed to describe the backlash of the two transmission chains, and the friction of the mechanism is depicted by the Stribeck model. Then, a high-precision dynamic model of the DMPTM is formed. Finally, the model validation experiments for the open-loop and closed-loop are carried out in the time domain and frequency domain. The experimental results show that the proposed model can accurately describe the nonlinear characteristics of the mechanism. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the proposed model and the actual system is ropen-loop > 99.41%, for the open-loop, and rclosed-loop > 83.7%, for the closed-loop, and these results are both better than those of the existing model. In the frequency domain, whether it is the open-loop or closed-loop model, the frequency response of the proposed model also reproduces the actual system well, which verifies the accuracy of the model.

    Functional Safety Analysis and Design of Sensors in Robot Joint Drive System

    by Lingyu Chen, Dapeng Fan, Jieji Zheng, Xin Xie

    The reliable operation of the sensors of robot joint drive systems (RJDs) is a key factor in ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel. Over the years, additional safety-related systems have been designed to prevent safety incidents caused by robot failures, ignoring the functional safety issues of the robot sensors themselves. In view of this, based on IEC61508, a functional safety analysis and design method for sensors of RJDs is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the hazard analysis and risk assessment clarified the goals that the safety protection function of the RJD’s sensor should achieve. Then, by establishing the motor drive model and transmission model, a model-based sensor fault diagnosis and isolation strategy is proposed. Considering the fault-tolerant operation of system, a fail-operational hardware architecture of the safety-related system is designed. Markov analysis shows that the safety integrity level (SIL) of safety-related systems can reach SIL3. Finally, experiments are designed to validate the proposed fault diagnosis and fault tolerance strategy. The results show that the safety-related system can effectively locate sensor failures, realize fault-tolerant control when a single sensor fails and perform safe torque off (STO) protection when multiple sensors fail.
