4 Why must motion control systems be predictable? In robotics, medical technology, and industrial automation in particular, motion systems must behave predictably and repeatably at all times. Only then can safety, quality, and trust be ensured. New technologies such as data-driven analysis or artificial intelligence do not alter this basic principle: the motion itself must remain under control at all times.
6 Which develop- ment will have the greatest impact on motion control in the future? Motion systems will become even more inter- connected and take more information from their surroundings into account. At the same time, demands on software, usability, and functional safety will increase. The challenge is to add intelligence to the system without compromising its stability and predictability.
5 What role does software play in today’s motion control systems? Software is often where the decisive added value is created. Modern control algorithms, diagnostic functions, and the synchronization of multiple axes significantly expand the capabilities of a drive system. At the same time, straightforward commissioning and operation are becoming increasingly important. Engineers should be able to focus on their application – not on the funda- mentals of drive control.
