1.5 Examples of intelligent mechatronic modules One of the first intelligent mechatronic modules is the SmartMotor module
of the American company Animatics Sogr., which appeared on the market in
1994 [20]. It is based on a standard electric motor with a diameter 60 mm,
in the rear part of the body of which additionally a photoimpulse sensor, an
amplifier, a 32-bit programmable controller and a network communication
device are installed.
The module is universal, can be used in mechatronic systems for various
purposes. The manufacturer emphasizes that 70% of the module consists of
standard elements, which allowed reducing its cost and providing high relia-
bility. The user can independently choose the control mode (by position, speed
or acceleration), and also use computer control algorithms that compensate for
the effect of backlash in the motion transducers on the dynamic characteristics
of the module.
Firm SIEMENS releases intelligent mechatronic modules SIMODRIVE
POSMO A (Figure 1.10), consisting of the following elements:
• valve motor with excitation from permanent magnets;
• planetary (Figure 1.10, a) or worm (Figure 1.10, б) conversion movement
(may be absent (Figure 1.10, в);
• the braking device (may be absent);
166 • built-in photoimpulse sensor (BPhS);
• power converter, which is structurally fixed on the engine cover;
• a complete control device, including a regulator engine, positioning and
programming blocks, as well as communication interface for connection
in the PROFIBUS environment.
Figure 1.10 – Intelligent mechatronic modules SIMODRIVE POSMO A distinctive feature of the construction is removable cover for connecting
the power converter, which contains an integrated PROFIBUS bus address
switch and a braking resistor, which makes it possible to disconnect the motor
without disruption of communication and power connections in other devices.
Thanks to the unification of communication and the simplification of the inter-
nal structure of the module and its compactness is ensured.
The module is controlled by a standard bus PROFIBUS, the following
modes of motion are possible:
• moving to the end position with a programmed speed;
• movement with adjustable shaft speed and adjustable acceleration.
Operator with special software can set temporary or logical conditions in
the program of movement, use gap compensation methods, obtain messages
about the current position and diagnostics of the module status.
