and to further clarify....
A linear increase in velocity implies -
A constant acceleration (step function) implies -
An "infinite" jerk function (impulse function) -
implies I do not want a linear increase in velocity
but an S-curve velocity profile
or a sawtooth...
Thanks for the timely responses everyone.
I had read this app note previously. It provided insight and helped generate my request for an algorithm. So how would you implement a first order filter with PLC code? Obviously, it would be a digital filter. Any FIR filter programs I've seen were...
Does anyone know of an algorithm that would generate an S-curve pattern? I am trying to program a PLC to accelerate a machine component. Unfortunately, Allen-Bradley does not provide an exponential function in their instruction set, although they do have an x^y power instruction. I have some...
