Was that a 20mS torque loop, or a 20mS velocity command loop? I would imagine what you are describing there was a system with a servo drive with a bandwidth of several kHz (probably analogue) being given velocity commands at 20mS intervals. It is not at all unusual in a LinuxCNC setup to be controlling the motor current and commutation in the software domain. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
