Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a circuit arrangement for the precise, dynamic digital control of, in particular, piezo actuators for micropositioning systems with a controller, preferably a PID controller, the future system behavior being estimated to minimize position-sequence deviations and current correction signals in the sense of a feedforward correction 11 are obtained, according to the preamble of claim 1 and 11 respectively.
- Feedforward regulations are part of the known state of the art.
- Feedforward control principles are used, for example, to position a magnetoresistive head according to DE 696 06 784 T2, to compensate for acoustic feedback in a system for active noise reduction according to DE 195 05 610 AI, for yaw control for rotary wing aircraft according to DE 692 05 173 T2 and in other areas of technology.
- positioning devices with a positioning drive having, in particular, a piezoceramic actuator, a position sensor and a drive control device for the positioning drive connected on the input side to a control signal input device and in a closed control loop with the position sensor, which is designed to output preformed control signals to the positioning drive.
- Such a known positioning device has a controllable filter with changeable filter coefficients, which is connected via a control input to a filter coefficient calculation unit which has a first input to the control signal input device and a second input has at least the position sensor is connected and calculates the current, new filter coefficients in real time from the entered target position control signals and the detected actual position signals.
- This positioning device can react to changed system conditions in a particularly flexible manner.
- the basic idea of the invention is to provide a quasi-second signal path that is independent of the actual scanning control loop. This enables fast digital feedforward control by bypassing the actual scanning system. In other words, the latency in the feedforward branch of the scanning system can be reduced by primarily controlling the piezo actuator via the reference variable and controlling the piezo actuator via a fast digital-to-analog converter, and secondly the controlled system with position sensor to avoid static errors is operated subordinate.
- the signal of the command variable is fed via a digital interface via a switchable bypass to the aforementioned digital-to-analog converter of the highest resolution, which digital-to-analog converter is to be operated at the sampling rate of the scanning system , Furthermore, the feedforward route leads to a second, fast digital-to-analog converter, which is controlled independently of the scanning system.
- the output signals of the transducers representing the control voltages are then added to the device to be controlled, in particular to the piezo actuator, which forms the actual controlled system with a position sensor.
- Both the fast, first digital-to-analog converter of the control system and the high-resolution, second digital-to-analog converter of the controlled system can be supplied with the same reference variable.
- the second digital-to-analog converter is accordingly optimized for the control properties, in particular for the highest resolution, the first digital-to-analog converter being aimed at the shortest possible latency and the control of this fast converter being operated independently of the scanning system, so that no Jitter occurs.
- the optional weighting and / or filtering of the signals supplied to the fast converter can be carried out depending on the route properties.
- control voltages can be pre-distorted and / or blocking filters can be arranged.
- Switching devices and / or control commands make it possible to direct changes in reference variables both to the first, fast digital-to-analog converter, to the second, high-precision converter or to both converters.
- Various command variables can also be called up via other switching devices. Filter and / or weight functions for the command variable of the control and / or regulating system can be activated via the switching devices.
- the reference variable input is connected to the feedforward control branch and to a comparator via a digital interface.
- the digital interface is preferably suitable for parallel data transfer and is designed as a PIO (parallel input-output).
- the digital output signal of the position sensor scanning controlled system is present at the comparator input of the comparator.
- the comparator output is connected to an adder, to whose further input the feedforward control branch is connected.
- the output of the adder leads to a digital-to-analog converter, which provides the control signal for the actuator, in particular the piezo actuator, at its output.
- the comparator output can lead to the input of a high-resolution digital-to-analog converter, the output of which is connected to the first input of the adder, and the feedforward control branch can lead to the input of a fast digital-to-analog converter, whose output is connected to the second
- the input of the adder is connected in order to control the actuator primarily via the reference variable, the feedforward system and the fast digital-to-analog converter, and to operate the control system with position sensor at a lower level to avoid static errors.
- an adjustable notch filter can be provided between a power amplifier for driving the piezo actuator and the output of the adder, which filter can optionally also be bridged.
- the circuit arrangement according to the invention accordingly consists of the modules for detecting the sensor positions, the module for digital sensor signal processing by means of a DSP (digital signal processor), the piezo amplifier including the D / A converter described above and a digital, in particular PlO, interface.
- DSP digital signal processor
- the piezo amplifier including the D / A converter described above and a digital, in particular PlO, interface.
- the first, fast digital-to-analog converter is selected as a 16-bit and the high-resolution converter as one with a 20-bit resolution.
- the fast converter can be controlled directly via the PlO interface, a further serial interface being provided for controlling the high-resolution converter.
- a sensor arrangement When detecting the position of the piezo actuator, a sensor arrangement is used which converts the mechanical movement or mechanical position into analog voltages. As a rule, the received analog is
- An analog-digital converter transfers the analog voltages into a digital signal, which may be subjected to lowpass filtering and linearization and then lead to the comparison input of the comparator, which results in a closed circuit (feedback loop).
- the presented invention succeeds in specifying a method and a novel circuit arrangement for the precise, dynamic digital control of, in particular, piezo actuators for micropositioning systems, which one or which realizes minimum latency times in the range from 2 to 5 ⁇ s, so that the dynamics of fast piezo actuators is compatible with the desired digital control.
- the command variable primarily works as a controller, the main task of the controller is to reduce the unavoidable static error. Thanks to a variable command structure, every change in the command variable can either affect the high-speed digital-to-analog converter, the high-resolution converter or the servo control, or both.

- the controlled system 2 contains the system 3 to be controlled, e.g. a piezo actuator, and also has a displacement sensor 4.
- the controlled system 2 includes an analog-digital converter 5 connected on the output side of the displacement sensor 4.
- This analog-digital converter 5 leads to an input of a comparator 6, the output of which leads via an optional servo filter 7 to the first input of an adder 8.
- the output signal of the feedforward branch or a feedforward filter is present at the second input of this adder 8.
- the output of the adder 8 leads to a universal digital-to-analog converter 9 which can be operated both with high resolution and with high dynamics.
- This universal digital-to-analog converter 9 then provides the analog output signal for the piezo actuator 3. Suitable drives are of course still required to drive the piezo actuator 3, which are not shown in FIG. 1 for reasons of simplification.

- the controlled system i.e. the output of the servo filter 7, in turn, leads to the input of a high-resolution digital-to-analog converter 14, the output of which reaches the first input of the comparator 8.
- a switchover device 15 is provided for the optional application of the digital input of the converter 14.
- a tunable notch filter 16 which in turn is connected to an amplifier 17, the output of which leads to the PZT element, not shown in the figure, namely a piezo actuator.
- the displacement sensor 4 leads via a corresponding input to a signal processing unit 18, which is followed by a bandpass filter 19 and the analog-digital converter 5.
- the digital signal processing unit of the controlled system comprises a further bandpass filter 20 and an arrangement for linearizing the sensor signals 21.
