Is there a best practices or design guidelines document/book/article/
etc. that covers things like positioning / min / max distance between
controller, drives and motors, shielding and grounding - in other
words the real practical hands on problems in building a multi-axis
servo system?  Seems to be a wealth of vendor neutral descriptions
about servo loops, tuning axis (individual components) and the like
but very little on practical lessons of full systems.  Is each
application really that unique?

    The manuals for Galil controllers are helpful in this regard.
They go into issues like separation between the encoder and power
wiring.

Re: Servo System Best Practices / Lessons Learned?


Will take a look there.  I went through their online tutorials but
didn't see anything that seemed to address these sorts of issues.
Also ran across a 7 page doc from AMC that was covered good wiring
practices in a largely vendor neutral way.  It is at
http://www.a-m-c.com/download/document/support/general/wiringpractices.pdf
Any other links out there?

Sounds to me like it's going to be the kind of info in the rules and
regulations a fair bit. Check out your local  (be they national, state,
district, etc) rules and you should find a fair amount of info on what
should go where, shielding, positioning, etc

Re: Servo System Best Practices / Lessons Learned?


  You have to have ur hands on the specific

 hardware to do anything / learn .
          -----------------
 I do ARM .  Everything they told me DID

 NOT FUNCTION , so i had to study it

and invent my own , much faster , easier

 methods .  I have $3000 in CPU's MCU's
 and potential pocket controllers .
  I will give my work free , ASAP .
  The Software is the biggest thrill .
  No C/C++ , no more assemblers ,
  no Linux , no M$ ....much faster ..
