Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel pc-based 8-channel USB interface digital multi-controller (DMC) has capacity to be able to adjust ultrasonic motor's (USM's) the parameters-frequency, amplitude, phase difference using FPGA. The proposed DMC can control parameters directly by digital logic through a FPGA. Since it has counter circuit for rotary encoder to measure position and velocity of USM, the other separate circuits are unnecessary. Therefore, it could reduce the size of controller and the production cost. Finally, to verify the performance of proposed DMC, we tested the speed characteristic of two types USM with no-load as adjusting the parameters.

본 논문에서는 FPGA를 사용하여 진행파형 초음파모터의 2상 입력 전원 전압의 주파수, 전압, 전압차 및 2상 간의 위상차 조절이 가능하고, 최대 8대의 초음파모터를 동시에 제어할 수 있는 PC기반 8채널 USB통신 초음파모터 디지털 제어기를 제안한다. 제안한 제어기는 FPGA를 사용한 디지털 논리에 의해 각각의 파라미터를 실시간으로 조절할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 속도 및 위치 센서인 로터리 엔코더의 카운터 회로를 FPGA 회로에 내장시킴으로써 별도의 외부 회로 구성이 불필요하여 제어기의 크기나 생산비용의 절감을 기대할 수 있다. 제안한 새로운 방식의 제어기의 성능을 검사하기 위해서 홀딩토크가 다른 2가지 타입의 초음파모터에 대한 각 파라미터 조절에 따른 무부하 속도 특성을 실험하였다.
