This is an online article from Professor Alan Fern of Oregon State University, dated August 25, titled “The Emerging Humanoid Motor Cortex: An Inventory of RL-Trained Controllers”. Human coordinated movement does not solely originate from a conscious planning center. When a person decides to cross a room or reach for a cup, it is not … Read more
In a previous article, we discussed linear interpolation. Today, we will talk about arc interpolation. While linear interpolation is based on three-dimensional space (three axes), here we will focus on arc interpolation in two-dimensional space (two axes). 1. Schematic Diagram In a plane, our robotic arm needs to move from point A to point B … Read more

After downloading the prepared program to the PLC, it begins to scan the user program, which is its core function. The entire scanning process is referred to as a scan cycle, as shown in the figure below. First, it detects the input signal X, then scans the program, such as the ladder diagram, and temporarily … Read more
Hello everyone, as the saying goes, knowing both yourself and your enemy will lead to victory in a hundred battles. Recently, I downloaded several PLC upper computer software for synchronous testing and analysis of functionality, performance, principles, UI design, etc. The software I am analyzing at this late hour is the Auto Station Pro from … Read more
