Paced flow line control system based on fuzzy algorithm

Abstract

Under the condition that multi-axis are driven unsynchronized in paced flow lines, A multi-axis coordinated motion control strategy based on fuzzy algorithm is proposed to improve the efficiency and ensure safe running of line. First, a multi-conveyor abstract model is established for the paced flow line. Then, based on analysis of the line's workflow, propose a control strategy to fulfill coordinated running of each axes, and fuzzy algorithm is used in the control strategy. At last, the example verification is conducted by constructing paced flow line control system based on EtherCAT. The running result of line shows that the abstract model and coordination motion control strategy is reasonable and in line with production requirements.
