Definitions
- the invention relates to a fluidically actuated drive and a method for controlling the same, as described in the preambles of claims 1, 16, 22 and 30.
- the drive comprises components that can be adjusted relative to one another, of which a component can be moved between the end positions via the first switching element in a first direction of movement and via the second switching element in a second direction of movement opposite the first direction of movement.
- the drive is provided in its end positions with shock absorbers, which absorb the impact energy of the accumulating on this component.
- the control is provided with a counter-pulse module which can be controlled via a pre-positioning sensor, which is associated with at least one direction of movement of the component.
- the counterpulse module causes a temporally adjustable reversal of the two switching elements, so that the component of the drive applied immediately before reaching its approaching end position in the direction opposite to the direction of the pressure medium over a fixed period of time and thereby a braking effect is generated.
- both the first and the second switching element in the sense of a caster are energized simultaneously.
- the drive is acted upon on both sides with system pressure and the component due to its inertia further driven at low speed in the direction of the end position.
- the originally active switching element is energized again and moves the component reliably in the end position.
- a method for controlling a fluidisclien drive and a device with a fluidically actuated drive is also known from DE 197 21 632 C2.
- the drive is formed by a lifting cylinder in which an actuating piston is guided with a piston rod.
- the piston rod is mounted in a stationary manner via a fixed bearing so that the lifting cylinder forms the moving component of the drive.
- the lifting cylinder is connected to a 5/3 -way valve, which can be controlled by means of two electromagnetic control magnets and with which pressure chambers of the lifting cylinder are mutually acted upon by system pressure.
- the control magnets are connected to an electronic control device which in turn receives control signals from sensors which can be switched electronically via switching lugs and, depending on this, actuates the 5/3 way valve and thus the movement of the lifting cylinder.
- a second measurement signal S 1 is generated at a time T 0 and from this, taking into account the actual movement parameters of the lifting cylinder, a time difference t t calculated , For gently starting at least one of the end positions of the lifting cylinder is calculated from this time difference t ⁇ a time t 2 for the beginning of a braking phase at a time T 2 and the duration of the braking phase t 3 to a time T 3 , wherein the control device for braking the Lifting cylinder to the 5/3 way valve outputs a brake signal for the beginning and for the end of the braking phase.
- the first measurement signal S 0 is assigned to the end of the range of action of the end position directly at the beginning of the movement of the lifting cylinder and the second measurement signal S 1 in the movement phase still sufficiently before the occurrence of a switching flag Sensors are detected.
- the object of the invention is to provide a fluidically actuated drive and a method for controlling the same, in which the adjustable means of pressure medium component of Drive the end position particularly gently when changing operating and environmental conditions.
- Triggered end position and the switching elements of the control device to a late date as possible with respect to the movement phase of the pressurized medium acted on component.
- only a very short braking phase is required in relation to the movement phase of the component, which is sufficient for the component to be gently positioned against the end position of the stationary component of the drive and braked for the shortest possible path, so that on the one hand the movement times of the component significantly shortened between the end positions and on the other hand optionally additionally used shock absorbers designed with less power reserve or even eliminated, which has a favorable effect on the size and price of the drive.
- both the driving force on the component and the counterforce or braking force on the component corresponds to the maximum, which is favorable to the movement times affects the component and a simple circuit construction of the fluid control of the drive allows, especially since additional throttle check valves can account for setting the deceleration behavior.
- the use of the control system achieves an adaptive system behavior - A -
- the movement time of the component can be optimized in the subsequent to the first movement phase with a first direction of movement, second movement phase with opposite direction of movement.
- the measure according to claim 9 is advantageous, since the system-related inertia of the drive is taken into account during the time control of the switching element and the starting time is preceded by the time t 5 , so that the component is actually set in motion at the desired time. With this measure, the movement time of the component can be further optimized.
- the control device of the first drive is provided with the system inertia of the second drive taking into account time t 5 , so that, for example, a feedback signal before reaching the end position of the component triggered by the first drive and the start time of the second drive is presented.
- the switching element assigned to it is activated at an early stage, irrespective of the system inertia of the second drive, so that the second drive starts its movement simultaneously with reaching the end position of the first drive.
- the acknowledgment signal does not necessarily have to be leading, ie it must be output to the control device or to the higher-level control before the end of the movement phase of the first drive.
- Another advantage is the monitoring of the signal waveform of the sensors and their evaluation, as described in claim 11.
- an impermissible state of movement of the component can be detected in a first movement phase and corrected in the subsequent movement phase by changing the counter-control period to D.
- claim 12 is recognized by the control device that the movement speed of the component is just before reaching its end position is too high and must be reduced taking into account the dynamic stress of the drive, including the counter-control period is increased ton. This ensures reliable operation over the entire service life of the drive.
- claim 13 recognized by the controller that the speed of movement of the component is relatively low shortly before reaching its end position and higher, for which the Schmidtdauer too reduced and the movement speed is increased so far that the movement time for the movement of the component between is optimized for the end positions.
- Another advantage is the measure according to claim 15, whereby, for example, the operation of a drive additionally used, mechanical shock absorber can be monitored and an impending failure of the shock absorber is reported as an error message to an operator. As a result, a malfunction of the drive due to malfunction, for example during a working process, such as a joining operation and the like, can be avoided.
- the development according to claim 19 is advantageous, since on the short path from the first control edges to the second control edge a change of the state of motion, in particular a strong fluctuations in the speed of movement of the component, will hardly occur and therefore the determined time t ⁇ or the speed of movement represents a reliable parameter for setting the counter control period.
- the specified minimum width of the recessed groove allows reliable detection of the control edges, by means of which the first and second measuring signals are triggered.
- the embodiment according to claim 20 whereby the wiring and tubing between the control device and the switching element and the pressure loss in the pressure lines between the switching element and the pressure chambers can be reduced, which has a positive effect on the time t 5 .
- the switching element is constructed on one of the components or integrated in one of the components, the pressure lines are formed by pressure medium channels, in particular inflow and outflow channels, which connect directly to the supply channels of the switching element and open into the pressure chambers, as in WO 99 / 09462 A1 is disclosed in detail and can also find applications in the drive according to the invention.
- any position can now be approached via the adjustment path of the movable component of the drive, for which only one or both hard stops and / or shock absorbers and / or a control bar and a sensor associated therewith must be adjusted.
- a center position on the drive can now be approached smoothly.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by the measures and features indicated in the characterizing part of claims 22 and 30. It is advantageous that, based on a predetermined movement time for the adjusting movement of the component between the end positions in both directions of movement an optimized as needed control of the drive made and the driving behavior of the component can be specified controlled. This allows the installer in the commissioning of the drive to specify the movement time so that the component is moved in crawl, which on the one hand possible damage to the drive due to incorrect programming or assembly can be prevented and on the other hand, the drive meets the increasing safety requirements. Especially in the commissioning of the drive, the fitter is in the effective range of the same and therefore there is a high risk potential, which can be almost completely turned off by the inventive measures.
- the drive is always driven with such a movement speed, as required by the current operating situation.
- unnecessary wear is avoided by unnecessary, low movement times, extends the maintenance intervals and increases the life of the drive.
- an adaptive system behavior is achieved by the use of the control, especially since an optimal operating mode of the drive can be set independently and maintained over the entire service life.
- the drive according to the invention represents a good compromise between a sufficiently high speed of movement and gentle operation, since the end position of the component can be approached particularly gently.
- the measure according to claim 26 is advantageous, since now influencing variables resulting in operation can be taken into account in a simple manner and the braking behavior of the component can be optimized even better.
- the measures according to claims 28 and 29 are also advantageous, since too high a speed drop is recognized by the control device or the control unit and after a predetermined period of time the switching element is again activated and the component is actuated in order to move it into its end positions move and position against the end position.

This may be the case when the second drive 1 "is equipped with a laser beam head which must be moved from the end position of the first drive 1 'by means of the second drive 1" to a welding point is absolutely free of vibration, the movement of the second drive 1 "is started with the laser beam head at the earliest with reaching the end position of the first drive 1 '.
- the time T R (not shown in the figures ), in which the feedback signal S RUCK is triggered, is calculated by the control device 13 or the higher-level controller and results from the difference between the time T 2 of the sensor 21 from the first drive 1; 1 'and the time t 5 to the start of movement of the second drive 1 ". Since the time T 2 is detected only after reaching the verify moving end position, this need for the calculation of the time T R of the preceding movement phase of the actuator 1' are attracted manufacturing , which can be determined by the control device 13, the time TR for the subsequent movement phase of the second drive 1 ".
- a correspondingly reversed control of the switching elements 10, 11 takes place, as entered in Fig. 8 for the second phase of movement, wherein the corresponding measurement signals S 1 , S 2 from the sensor 22, the Confirmation signal S B and start signal Ss tart be triggered by the sensor 21.
- the switching element 11 receives at the time Tstart the first control signal for the beginning of the movement of the component from its left end position to the right end position again from the control device 13 or the higher-level control.
- the control device 13 calculates the first and / or second changeover time Tuzu Tuz2 of the switching elements 10, 11 in the case of a control deviation in the second movement phase of the component, and the first and / or second changeover time Tu Z1 in the fourth movement phase of the component , Tuz2 the switching elements 10, 11 set accordingly.

- a start signal is initially transmitted via a higher-level control (not shown) of the electronic control device 13, as shown in FIG Arrow 50 indicated, and then discharged from the control device 13 to the control magnet 37, a first control signal, whereby the control magnet 37 energized and the switching element 36 is switched to the operating position and the movable member - according to the execution of the lifting cylinder 2 - from its initial position in the direction of Arrow 31 is adjusted from right to left.
- the switching element 36 in the operating position shown in Fig.
- the pressure line 16 is opened, so that the pressure chamber 8 of the drive 1 is connected to the pressure supply unit 18 and pressurized with system pressure, while the pressure chamber 9 via the pressure line 17 with a vent line 51st is connected to the switching element 36, so that the pressure medium or working medium located in the pressure chamber 9 can escape unhindered into the atmosphere. Therefore, in the right end position of the movable component, the pressure chamber 9 is disconnected from the pressure supply unit 18.
- the control bar 26 With the start of the movement of the component from its starting position or right end position to the start time Tstart, the control bar 26 is moved past the stationary sensor 22 and triggered in this sem, the waveform shown in Fig. 10. This waveform corresponds to that in FIG. 8 and is therefore dispensed with a repeated description at this point.
- the arranged in the end position sensor 21 is switched by the moving past these control bar 25. If the switching lug 27a with its control edge 32a enters the effective range of the stationary sensor 21, it triggers a first measuring signal S 1 at the time T 1 , which signal is passed on to the control device 13 via the signal line 19. At a later time T 2 , which is in the movement phase, the end position section 29 a comes with its control edge 33 a into the effective range of the sensor 21 and triggers a second measurement signal S 2 in the sensor 21, which is also transmitted to the control device 13. Reference is made here to the detailed description of FIG. 8, in which the signal profile at the sensor 21 is explained, and is therefore removed from a repetition at this point.
- a first switching time Tuzi of the switching element 36 and / or a second switching point Tuz 2 of the switching element 36 subsequent to the movement phase are calculated and stored in the memory 54 on the basis of the control deviation in the first movement phase of the component. If the third movement phase of the component is started, therefore, the movement of the component in the same direction of movement as the the first movement phase of the component, the previously calculated switching time (t) Tuzi > Tuz 2 of the switching elements 36 are read from the memory 54 and at least one of the switching times Tuzi, in the third movement phase adjusted so that the control deviation is corrected.

- the pressure chamber 8 is aerated with system pressure and thus pressurization of the component in the direction of movement - according to arrow 31 - causes while the pressure chamber 9 is vented.
- a second control signal is output by the control device 13 to the control magnet 37, with which the switching element 36 is transformed into the rest position for a time period t GD .
- the originally pressurized pressure chamber 8 is vented, the originally pressureless pressure chamber 9 for the time t GD ventilated with system pressure and thus a small pressure pad shortly before the end of the movement phase of the component constructed against which the moving component runs, so that a hard stop is excluded in the end position of the component.
- the time period t GD results from the time difference between Tuzi and T ⁇ jz2 or the control signals output by the control device 13 for the reversal of the switching element 36 and is determined by the control device 13.
- a third control signal is again output from the control device 13 to the control magnet 37 of the switching element 36.
- the latter at the end of the braking phase, when the latter already has a low speed of movement, it again receives an advance in the direction of movement - as indicated by arrow 31 - in the direction of its left-hand end position. This ensures that the component reliably reaches its end position.
- a fourth control signal is output again from the control device 13 to the control magnet 37 of the switching element 36 and the pressure chambers 8, 9 are actuated in opposite directions.
- the fourth control signal corresponds to the start signal for the second movement phase at the time Tstart-
- a corresponding reverse control of the switching element 36 takes place, as shown in Fig. 10 for the second movement phase, wherein the corresponding measurement signals S 1 , S 2 from the sensor 22, the confirmation signal S B and start signal S s ta r t be triggered by the sensor 21.
- the switching element 36 is this switched from the registered in Fig. 3 operating position in the registered in Fig. 4 rest position by the start time Ts tart the second movement phase of the higher-level control or control device 13 of the control magnet 37 is driven with the first control signal and the control magnet 37th in the unbestromtem
- the control device 13 calculates the first and / or second changeover time Tuzi, Tuz 2 of the switching element 36, and in the fourth movement phase of the component, sets the new, first and / or second changeover time Tuzi » Tuz2 of the switching element 36 accordingly.
- the start of movement of the component in the first movement phase is symbolized by block 70 and the end of movement of the component in the first movement phase by block 71.
- the movement of the component is monitored by means of a monitoring device 72 having the control device 13, as shown schematically in the preceding figures.
- This monitoring device 72 is formed, for example, by an electronic or programmed counter, which detects the number of state changes of a signal level between a high level and a low level of the sensor 21 and / or 22.
- a value for the minimum number of state changes of a signal level between a high level and a low level of the sensor 21 and / or 22 is stored in the memory 54 of the control device 13.
- the controller 13 performs a comparison between the determined number of state changes of a signal level between a high level and a low level and a specified minimum number of state changes of a signal level between a high level and a low level, and an evaluation made. If the determined number of state changes falls below the specified minimum number of state changes, an error message is displayed on the output device 53 of the control device 13 and / or on the higher-level control. This error message is shown as block 74. After this execution, the minimum number of state changes is set greater than one and an error message is issued, if the determined number of state change is, for example, one or zero.
- the cause of the error message may be, for example, a defective sensor 21, 22 or a hindrance to the movement of the component.
- step 75 a setpoint-actual comparison between the set time interval t 3 s o n and the determined time interval t 31st is first carried out by the control unit 55 of the control device 13. If the determined time interval t 3 i s t deviates from the set time interval t 3 s o ii, a control variable for setting the switching times Tuzu Tuz2 is formed from these in a first control loop of the control unit 55.
- Fig. 1 Ia the first control loop is shown in detail.
- a control deviation (e) between the determined time period t 3 i st and the specified time period t 3 s o n is calculated and a first controller 77 supplied to the control unit 55.
- the manipulated variables for setting both switching times Tuzi, Tuz 2 are calculated from the control deviation (e) according to a defined control law and then stored in memory 54. If the movement of the component in the third movement phase is now started, then the corresponding manipulated variables are read from the memory 54 and applied to the switching elements 10, 11 according to the embodiments in FIGS.
- a control deviation (e) which is detected in a preceding movement phase in the first direction of movement - according to arrow 31 - is adjusted by changing the switching times Tuzi, Tuz2 and in the subsequent movement phase in the same Direction of movement - according to arrow 31 - the or the switching element (s) 10, 11; 36 after the calculated switching times Tuzu Tuz 2 are controlled, so that the detected time period t 3 i st the set time t 3 s o n corresponds.
- the new switching times Tuzi, Tuz2 are calculated, the time period to D remaining unchanged in all subsequent phases of movement in the same direction of movement, as shown by arrow 31.
- this control intervention substantially corresponds to a shift of the switching times T UZ1 , at a constant distance from time T 1 .
- the actual value of the ascertained time interval t 3 i st corresponds to the set desired value of the time span tss o ii, a control intervention and thus a shift of the switchover times Tuzi, Tuz 2 on the time axis with respect to the time T 1 can be omitted and the method step 78 immediately becomes initiated.
- step 78 is performed again by the controller unit 55, a desired-actual comparison of the fixed period of time tis and the time ii o t ⁇ determined st. Deviates the time period determined t ⁇ st of the set period of time t ⁇ o u from, is initially formed in the first movement phase for the next phase of movement in the same direction of movement of the component, the control deviation (e) to a comparator 79 and a second controller supplied 80 the controller unit 55 , as shown in Fig. 1 Ib as a second control loop of the control unit 55.
- the controller 80 only one manipulated variable for setting the switchover time Tuzi or the time period to D is formed from the control deviation (e) according to a defined control law and then stored in the memory 54. If now the movement of the component in the third movement phase is started, then the corresponding manipulated variable is read from the memory 54 and applied to the switching elements 10, 11 according to the embodiments in FIGS. 1, 2; 5, 6; 7 or the switching element 36 according to the embodiment in Figs. 3, 4 switched. Accordingly, in this control circuit, the second switching time Tuz2 is maintained and the time period to D or the duration of the counter-control is changed, in which the first switching time Tuzi is shifted on the time axis.
- the first and second regulators 77, 80 of the control unit 55 are formed by an I-controller.
- a simplification of the control method is also achieved in that the time periods tis o ii, t 3 s o ii are defined as a time window with a lower and upper limit and a control intervention takes place only if the determined time intervals t ⁇ st , t 3 i st outside the Zeitpp. Tolerance window lie.
- the lower and upper limits of the time window are defined in such a way that nevertheless an optimal deceleration behavior and smooth approach of the end position is possible.
- FIG. 12 shows a modified method for controlling the drive 1; 1 ', 1 "in a flow chart
- the modification concerns the consideration or correction of the movement sequence of the component
- the component is moved at too high a speed towards the end position and due to the high kinetic impact energy , This is moved from the end position against the target movement and results in, the approaching end position associated sensor 21 a waveform, as shown in Fig. 12a.Other can occur the case that the component with too low a speed is moved against the end position and he executes a pendulum motion before reaching the end position, so that the signal waveform shown in Fig. 12b results for the sensor 21 located in the approaching end position
- the end position is formed by a mechanical limiting element, such as a fixed stop or shock absorber.
- the signal profile at the sensor 21 arranged in the end position to be approached is determined and the number of state changes of a signal level between a high Level and low level evaluated. If the determined number of state changes of a signal level at the sensor 21 exceeds a limit number of state changes of a signal level determined by the control device 13, the method step 82 is initiated.
- the controller unit 55 of the control device 13 carries out a desired-actual comparison between a defined time period tis o ii and the determined time interval t ⁇ st . Falls below the amount of time determined t ⁇ st the predetermined period of time t ⁇ o i b the controller 13 can determine by evaluation of the waveform that the construction part is moved at an excessively high speed in the end position.
- the control device 13 is supplied with three measurement signals S 1 , S 2 , S 3 .
- the first measuring signal S 1 is detected at a time T 1 when, for example, the control strip 25 attached to the moving component enters the effective range of the sensor 21 arranged in the approaching end position in the direction of movement - as indicated by arrow 31 - front control edge 32 a, while the second Measuring signal is detected at a time T 2 , in which the control bar 25 with the second control edge 33 a in the effective range of the sensor arranged in the end position to be approached 21 enters.
- the component If the speed of movement of the component is too high, it is initially moved counter to its desired movement due to its excessive impact energy at the end position and then driven by the repeated application of pressure for safe starting of the end position in its original direction of movement. As a result, the component is again moved in the direction of the end position and braked against the end position, so that the second control edge 33a again enters the effective range of the arranged in the end position sensor 21 and thereby triggers the third measurement signal S 3 at a later time T 3 , However, this third measurement signal S 3 is not evaluated by the control device 13.
- the second control loop is run through as described above. It is essential that the corrected period of time to D be calculated on the basis of the preceding movement phase, and that the corrected or reduced time period ton be set in the movement direction of the component in the subsequent movement phase.
- the setting of the time period to D is again performed by the correction of at least one of the switching times Tuzi, Tuz2 of the switching elements 10, 11; 36th
- step 82 if determined in step 82 that the time period determined st t ⁇ the predetermined period of time tis o ii exceeds, this will be evaluated in the first movement phase of the control device 13 as a pendulum movement, which is eliminated by reducing the amount of time to D.
- the time period ton stored in the memory 54 is multiplied by a weighting factor which is defined, for example, as a constant between 0.6 and 0.8. But it is equally possible t ⁇ to specify the weighting factor as a function of the difference between the specified time tis o ii and the amount of time determined st.
- This process is represented by a block 83 in FIG. 12.
- the time period too, corrected by the weight factor, is again used as a new time period to D in the third movement phase.
- the first measuring signal S 1 is detected at a time T 1 when, for example, the control bar 25 attached to the moving component enters the effective range of the sensor 21 arranged in the approaching end position with the front control edge 32 a in the direction of movement. If the speed of movement of the component is too low, the component will Position moves counter to its desired movement, so that the control bar 25 again leaves the effective range of the sensor 21. By applying pressure to safely approach the end position, the component is again driven in its original direction of movement, so that the front control edge 32a at time T 2 again enters the effective range of arranged in the end position sensor 21 to be approached.
- the third measurement signal S 3 is triggered, in which the component has actually reached the end position. However, this third measurement signal S 3 is not evaluated by the control device 13.
- the time interval t 4 entered in FIGS. 12 a, 12 b is triggered at the time T 3 and ends at a later point in time, in which it is ensured that all arithmetic operations of the control unit 55 have been completed and the control deviation or manipulated variables for the next phase of movement into it Movement direction are available. The end of movement is reached only at time T 3 . Likewise occurs a shift in the time TR (not shown in the figures ), in which the feedback signal S RÜCIC is triggered.
- the end position can be determined either solely by the skillful control of the drive 1; 1'; 1 "or by the combination of the skillful control of the drive 1, 1 ', 1" and a shock absorber gently approached. If a shock absorber is used, then that part of the kinetic impact energy of the component is absorbed, which was not degraded by the countermeasures over the time period t GD . Therefore, the proportion of the kinetic energy to be absorbed by the shock absorber is significantly influenced by the duration of the counteracting to D. As described above, the time period to D for the duration of the counter-control results from the period ti.
- the shock absorber acts with its spring force counter to the direction of movement of the component, so that the determined time tu st slightly increase when the moving component runs onto the shock absorber.
- the time period ton is slightly reduced for the duration of the countermeasure. If, due to a defect, the shock absorber fails or has been mounted incorrectly, the time period t ⁇ st is significantly reduced, so that the time span tGD for the duration of the counter control is increased by the regulation from the determined time period t ⁇ st .
- a time lower limit and upper limit are defined for the period to D.
- an error message in the form of an optical and / or acoustic signal is output at the output device 53 or the higher-level control and / or the drive 1; 1 '; 1 "shut down.

- the computer module 130 of the controller unit 127 can calculate the time span tp j of each pulse break after a computing algorithm stored in the memory 129 and described below.
- FIG. 17 Different speed profiles of the component are shown in FIG. 17. If there is a long control period tsD, the speed curve entered in full lines results, while the speed profile entered in dotted lines results for a short control period tsD. As can be seen, the component reaches its maximum setpoint speed vs o ii in a time span over the control duration tsD. From the second switchover time Tuz2 within the time period toB, the component increasingly loses movement speed, so that it is moved with respect to the maximum target speed vs o ii reduced movement speed against the end position.
- the speed drop ⁇ v varies depending on the control duration ts D of the start pulse.
- Ss i enters a high control deviation (e), therefore, the detected movement time t st is higher than the predetermined movement time tßsoii, the control time is t S o of the start pulse increases and thereby the component in the first time period at a highutzsgeschwin- speeding up.
- the duration tp of each pulse break is reduced uniformly, that is, the component is moved without drive over shorter intervals, as indicated in solid lines.
- the control duration ts ⁇ of the start pulse is reduced, then the duration tp of each pulse break is increased uniformly, that is to say the component is driven without drive over longer intervals, as indicated in dotted lines.
- the method according to the invention makes use of the knowledge that the ambient conditions, in particular the friction or aging phenomena, during the drive-less movement of the component bring about targeted deceleration of the component on its displacement path, for example from the right-hand end position to the end position, so that the component gently drives against the final position.
- the control device 116 the switching element 109 at a switching time TU ZA a Nachschaltsignal S N S is switched on and the pressure chamber 107 over a period I A driven with system pressure, so that the component in the direction of movement - moves in the direction of its end position, as shown in arrow 31 - pressed against them and kept positioned in this with a holding force.
- the time interval t A results from the time difference between the switching time TU ZA of the first movement phase and the first switching time T uzl or the starting time Ts tart the second movement phase in the opposite direction of movement - according to arrow 31 '.
- the post-switching signal SN S accordingly corresponds to a subsequent switching pulse. If the component is actually in its end position, the signal S 2 is triggered via the control edge 33 a at the sensor 119 arranged in the end position to be approached at the time T EE or T 2 (not registered). Reference is here made to the detailed description of FIG. 8, in which the signal curve S E2 is explained on the sensor 21 and can be transmitted to this embodiment for the sensor 119.
- the control device 116 or the higher-level controller can convert a second time interval t F from the time difference between the first measuring signal S 1 and the last switching time Tuzn, therefore when the switching element 109 is converted from its actuating position A into the rest position B, is evaluated. If the first period of time exceeds the second time interval (tp), the monitoring device 132 generates the reset signal S NS before the end of the first period of time and activates the switching element 109 so that system pressure is applied to the component early in the direction of movement, as indicated by arrow 31 , Thereby, the actual movement time can be shortened when the target movement time T ßSO ii deviates from the actual movement time T ßlst .
- the control deviation (e) between the target movement time Te so iiund actual movement time Tai st compensated by the control period ts D of the start pulse and the periods tp of the pulse pauses are set so that the Actual movement time T is equal to the setpoint movement time T BSOII and the component reaches the left end position within the predefined setpoint movement time Tsssoii.
- the control duration ts D of the start pulse is extended and the periods tp shortened.
- a signal S 2 is triggered on the sensor 119 and supplied to the control device 116, whereupon the switching element 109 at a switching time T UZA a subsequent switching signal S NS switched on and the pressure chamber 107 is controlled over a period TA with system pressure so that the component is essentially pressed only against the end position and held in position with a holding force. Since there is no control deviation in the third movement phase, the adjustment of the control duration ts D of the start pulse and the time intervals tp of the pulse pauses is maintained for all subsequent movement phases in the same direction of movement until a control deviation (e) is again calculated by changing the friction conditions.
- the switching pulses over the time period t GB are regularly divided and the last switching pulse the switching element 109 just before the component reaches its end position, is switched.
- the component runs against the end position, even before it has reached its maximum speed, as shown in Fig. 17 in dotted line.
- the speed impressed on the component over the last switching pulse Tuz n at the changeover instant corresponds to only a fraction of the speed which the component in each case reaches via the preceding switching pulses to the respective switchover pulse. times is impressed, so that the end position is approached particularly gently.
- the control duration ts D and the time period t GB or the time period tp of the pulse pauses is divided into the target movement time such that the switching time Tuz n coincides with the switching time TU ZA .
- the last switching pulse passes directly to the reset pulse and the component is already driven against the end position via the last switching pulse and pressed against it with a holding force which is maintained by switching on the subsequent pulse over the time t A , as in the third movement phase is entered. Since the component has reached the end position monitored by the sensor 119 at the theoretical end time T J E, no monitoring signal St) is triggered by the control device 116. After the component has reached the end position, the aftershift signal SN S is triggered by response of the sensor 119 and supplied to the control device 116.
- a correspondingly reversed activation of the switching element 109 takes place, as shown in Fig. 15 for the second movement phase, wherein the corresponding measurement signals S 1 , S 2 from the sensor 120, the Confirmation signal S B and start signal Sstart are triggered by the sensor 119.
- the switching element 109 receives the first control signal for the start of the movement of the component from its left end position into the right end position again from the control device 116 or the higher-level control.
- the right-hand control magnet 110 is actuated by the higher-order controller or control device 116 with the first control signal and is brought into the non-energized state, with the result that the switching element 109 at the start time Tstar t of the second movement phase moves from the inoperative position into the actuating position (C) entered in FIG. is connected, in which the pressure chamber 108 is connected to the pressure supply unit 114 and pressurized with system pressure, while the pressure chamber 107 is connected via the pressure line 113 with a vent line 125.
- control time tso of the start pulse and time intervals tp of the pulse pauses are also calculated for this direction of movement, and second switching time Tuz 2 of switching element 109 is set accordingly in the fourth movement phase ,
- the pressure chambers 107, 108 are each controlled via a switching element 133, 134.
- These switching elements 133, 134 are preferably formed by 3/2-way valves.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 Such an embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the control method according to the invention can also be transferred to this embodiment.
- the control of the switching elements 133, 134 via the control device 116 which in turn is connected via a first control line 14 with a control magnet of the left switching element 133 and a second control line 15 with a control magnet of the right switching element 134.
- the associated timing diagram with the switching positions S SC H I , Sscm of the switching elements 133, 134 is shown in FIG.
- control device is suitable for processing both control methods according to the invention.
- the control and calculation algorithm of the two driving characteristics of the component are stored in the memory of the control device. After the first driving behavior - according to the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 12b - the component should be moved as quickly as possible between the end positions, whereas after the second driving behavior - according to the embodiments of FIGS. 13 to 18 - the component moves at a targeted speed shall be.
- the choice of driving behavior can be done in different ways.
- the corresponding driving behavior is selected via an input and / or output device, in particular a computer (PC), or the higher-level control of the control device.
- a user program is opened and output to the input and / or output device before commissioning the drive and selected by the fitter the desired driving behavior for the adjustment movement of the component in a first direction of movement and in a direction opposite to this movement direction.
- associated control and calculation algorithm is activated and made the control of the drive in the manner described above. For example, the first driving behavior for the first movement direction and the second driving behavior for the other movement direction or either the first or second driving behavior for both directions of movement can be selected.
- the driving behavior of the component is set dynamically.
- the required cycle time is communicated by the higher-level, central control of the decentralized control device, which in turn makes the choice of the driving behavior based on the information of the available movement time.
- a current work process may require a particularly low cycle time, so that the drives of the handling system are controlled for both directions of movement after the first driving behavior. If the cycle time is less critical, but certain other parameters must be adhered to the handling system, for example, must be a vibration-free positioning of the drives, at least one of the drives according to the second driving behavior is controlled.
- the movable component can also be provided only with a control bar, which cooperates with a sensor arranged in the approaching end position. Such an embodiment is realized in those cases in which the component only has to be gently positioned against one of the end positions.
