I am a trainee who is new to Automation studio and is working on a project which involves positioning a mass over a given trajectory with max speed of 1m/s and a precision of 0.3mm on a vertical belt drive. The company which I am working for wants me to achieve this accuracy without using sensors ot…

Hello @kovarj , I have come a lot further with the topic and mapp Motion as a whole thank to the information which @Martin.Schrott and @michael.bertsch have provided. Greetings, Luc

Hello Luc, the ACOPOS drive firmware contains sophisticated, configurable control loops, there is no need to add one manually. E.g. Position control loop in ACOPOS A vertical load can best be controlled with torque feed forward. With the SW package mapp Motion, this can be easily configured. E.…

Hi Luc, I think everything you need to know is covered in a B&R standard motion training. This also covers very similar examples to your usecase. I therefore recommend that you sign up for a training course or at least work through the online seminars.

@Luc what is the status of your topic? have you used learning materials?

Ok, I understand it like you do not need additional help, so I marked your reply as a solution. But feel free to continue asking if needed. But to keep communication active, you have to provide information on what you have already done.
