Servo System Best Practices / Lessons Learned?

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.

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

other links out there?

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 ..

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
