I am working on designing a machine that will have 4 axis of hydraulic motion control. All 4 axes are identical, but totally independent of each other. Stroke is 48" with SSI feedback. Cylinder is 4" bore, 2" rod. Maximum speed is 5 inches per second. I need to maintain a final position of within +/- 0.020”. I do not need to follow a precise motion profile; just maintain final position. I am using a CompactLogix L32E for my machine control.
Does this motion control sound possible to do in the PLC or should I look at a dedicated controller. In the past, I have used Rexroth's HACD for other motion control applications.
