Well for those who think/have a feel that this is a bit "hobbyish", I’m so very glad that wherever you work at you have entire departments with experts in every field possible at your disposal.
Unfortunately for me, I don’t have this privilege and sometimes in the real world when someone is working on developing something, once in a while, pops up a topic that this individual or the team has no knowledge of and this topic need to be learned in a sufficient way but without delving too deep because of deadlines.
So if you don’t have something productive or educating to add, please feel free to have a laugh on someone else’s expense.
And on that positive note, I’ll try to clarify about what I’m trying to do.
I need the actuator to make oscillating movements, the amplitude and frequency are dependent on other parameters of systems that work in parallel to the actuator.
We have a working prototype that needs to be upgraded to more industrial and robust components (but still will be in the prototype phase), that means that we have the code for it (with proper adjustments for the actuator step motor of the actuator) and for now the controller (two parallel Arduino Uno) isn’t on the list to be upgraded, so I need to figure a way to relay the signal from the Arduino to the actuator through the controller I’ve mentioned at the start of the thread.
I've managed to find a PLC (Controllino MAXI) that is based on Arduino's open source software, probably this will solve the problem but for the worst case scenario I still want to figure out how to connect the Arduino to the actuators controller.
