A servo actuator ID setting method is performed by a servo actuator controlling system. The servo actuator controlling system includes a master controller and a plurality of servo actuators. One servo actuator is set to disconnect to a next servo actuator. A plurality of interfaces of the master controller are selected to turn on in sequence. The following steps are repeatedly performed to set servo actuator ID: broadcasting a signal to replace an original ID of each of the plurality of servo actuators with a target ID; the plurality of servo actuators in each branch connecting to the master controller; and replacing the original ID of each of the plurality servo actuator with the target ID.

A servo actuator default disconnected ID setting method is performed by a servo actuator controlling system, which includes a plurality of servo actuators. A first message is broadcasted which indicates that an original ID is replaced with a non-default-disconnected to the plurality of servo actuators. The original ID of each actuator is replaced with the non-default-disconnected according to the first message. A second message is broadcasted which indicates that the non-default-disconnected ID is replaced with a default disconnected ID. And the non-default-disconnected ID of each servo actuator is replaced with the default disconnected ID according to the second message.

An electronic switch and an electronic device are disclosed. The electronic switch includes a trigger, a measurement device, a load control circuit, and the controller. The trigger switches on or off a circuit between a power supply and the electronic switch and generates the travel of the electronic switch. The measurement device is configured to measure working parameters of the power supply, the load and the trigger and to send the working parameters to the controller. The controller receives the working parameters and generates a control signal with a PWM signal. The PWM signal is obtained by adjusting the current control signal according to the working parameters. The control signal is sent to the load control circuit. The load control circuit controls the rotation speed of the motor in the load with the control signal.

A microassembler system includes an alignment surface, a two-dimensional array of electrodes adjacent the alignment surface, a sensor network arranged adjacent the array of electrodes, and a control computer electrically connected to the array of electrodes and the sensor network, the control computer to receive signals from the sensor network indicating a position of at least one chiplet and to actuate the electrodes to change the position of the chiplet based upon the signals. A method of assembling chiplets includes receiving, at one of an array of control logic units, a signal from a control computer identifying an assembly location in a block of an assembly template at which a chiplet is to be located, using a sensor to determine a chiplet location of a nearest chiplet, and generating, using electrodes corresponding to the control logic unit, a traveling wave pattern to translate and orient the nearest chiplet to the location.

A computer numerical control (CNC) servo drive system includes a controller, a driver, a co-connection circuit, a first servo motor and a second servo motor. Users input a control command through the controller. The driver is connected to the controller, converts the control command into a drive signal, and outputs the drive signal. The co-connection circuit is connected to the driver and transmits the drive signal. A sum of maximum current values of the first servo motor and the second servo motor is not greater than a maximum current value of the driver, such that the driver can simultaneously drive the first servo motor and the second servo motor for operation.

A process plant and industrial control system architecture includes a generalized compute fabric that is agnostic or indifferent to the physical location at which the compute fabric is implemented, includes one or more physical control or field devices located at one or more specific sites at which a product or process is being manufactured and further includes a transport network that securely provides communications between the compute fabric and the pool of physical devices. The compute fabric includes an application layer that includes configured containers or containerized software modules that perform various control, monitoring and configuration activities with respect to one or more devices, control strategies and control loops, sites, plants, or facilities at which control is performed, and includes a physical layer including computer processing and data storage equipment that can be located at any desired location, including at or near a site, plant, or facility at which control is being performed, at a dedicated location away from the location at which control is being performed, in re-assignable computer equipment provided in the cloud, or any combination thereof. This control architecture enables significant amounts of both computer processing and IT infrastructure that is used to support a process plant, an industrial control facility or other automation facility to be implemented in a shared, in an offsite and/or in a virtualized manner that alleviates many of the communications and security issues present in current process and industrial control systems that attempt to implement control with shared or virtualized computing resources set up according to the well-known Purdue model. The industrial control system architecture is protected via more secure and customizable techniques as compared to those used in Purdue model-based control systems. For example, communications between any (and in some cases, all) endpoints of the system may be protected via one or more virtual private networks to which authenticated endpoints must be authorized to access. Endpoints may include, for example, containerized components, physical components, devices, sites or locations, the compute fabric, and the like, and the VPNs may include mutually-exclusive and/or nested VPNs. External applications and services, whether automated or executing under the purview of a person, may access information and services provided by the system via only APIs, and different sets of APIs may be exposed to different users that have been authenticated and authorized to access respective sets of APIs. A configuration system operates within the compute fabric to enable a user to ea

A numerical controller of the invention includes an overlap control unit that detects a reference value minimizing a synthesized velocity for a plurality of control axes calculated based on table format data in an overlap period in which the synthesized velocity is equal to or lower than a threshold set in advance, that finds an overlap quantity as an amount in the reference value of overlapping of travels of the control axes after the detected reference value with travels of the control axes before the detected reference value, that advances the travels of the control axes after the reference value minimizing the synthesized velocity by the overlap quantity, and that calculates post-correction travels resulting from superposition of the travels of the control axes after the reference value on the travels of the control axes before the reference value minimizing the synthesized velocity.
