PID Control of Motor...
(OP)
I have a motor/gearbox unit that chain drives a machine assembly, at 6 inches per second, along a shaft over a total travel distance of one foot. The motor FWD/REV is PLC controlled and positioning is done manually by an operator. I want to add an analog positioning rod to allow controlling positioning automatically. The assembly must stop at precise (1/16" tolerance) positions along the way based on operator input. My question is regarding PID. I know PID does a lot of pulsing to achieve accurate positioning. Has anyone used PID on a motor driven application like this? Too much pulsing would be tough on the motor, etc. The brake reaction time must be considered. How can I program this to achieve repeatable accuracy? Thanks!!!!

As for the pulsing issue; this can also be adjusted as needed.
