A controller controlling a synchronized operation of spindle and feed axes. The controller is configured to make a spindle axis perform an accelerated rotation at maximum capacity from a starting position aiming at a maximum rotation speed; detect a maximum acceleration of the spindle axis; detect a residual rotation amount of the spindle axis; detect a current speed of the spindle axis; and execute a position control for making the spindle axis perform a decelerated rotation so as to reach a target position, after the accelerated rotation at maximum capacity. The controller is further configured to make the spindle axis perform the decelerated rotation at a positioning deceleration higher than a deceleration corresponding to the maximum acceleration and equal to or lower than a maximum deceleration capable of compensating for a mechanical loss in a drive source during the decelerated rotation of the spindle axis.

A servo control module for a motion control system with a plurality of individual servo control modules. The servo control module includes a single axis servo drive.

A system for distributed multi-axis motion control includes a controller having a memory configured to store a control program and a processor configured to execute the control program. A desired motion trajectory is determined for a multi-axis system having multiple axes, and an axis command is generated for each of the axes as a function of the desired motion trajectory. The system also includes multiple motors and multiple motor drives. Each of the motors corresponds to one axis for the multi-axis system, and each of the motor drives controls at least one of the motors responsive to receiving the axis command for the corresponding motor. Each of the motor drives also determines a motion state for a link driven by the motor as a function of the axis command and transmits at least a portion of the motion state to another motor drive controlling another axis.

A first time period during which positioning the motor based on the first command is completed when the first intermediate data is smoothed is longer by the delay time than a second time period during which positioning the motor based on the first command is completed when the first intermediate data is not smoothed.

A servo driver is configured to drive a first motor and be communicatively connected to a different servo driver. The servo driver and a first sensor that is configured to detect a parameter relating to displacement of a first drive target driven via an output axis of a first motor are in an arrangement such that a detection signal from the first sensor is received by the servo driver. In a case in which the servo driver receives the detection signal from the first sensor when a first predetermined operation of driving only the output axis of the first motor to displace the first drive target is performed in a state in which sensor recognition processing is not complete, the servo driver recognizes the first sensor as a first corresponding sensor associated with the servo driver.
