ABSTRACT
By motion control we mean torque, speed, or position control. Motion control systems are characterized by precision, response quickness, and immunity to parameter detuning, torque and inertia perturbations, and energy conversion rates. Motion control through electric motors and PECs may be approached by the theory and practice of linear and nonlinear, continuous or discrete control systems. Control systems is a field of science in itself and in what follows only a few solutions of practical interest for motion control will be introduced with some application examples, from simple to complex.
