Improved study on position measurement system for linear motor applied in electromagnetic launch system

The linear motor applied in electromagnetic emission system uses a closed loop position control strategy, which needs a set of position measurement system with high reliability, high resolution and integration to achieve real-time acquisition and analysis of position signals. The existing position controller is based on the simple logic chip design without memory function, and does not have the storage analysis and preprocessing function to position signals. Therefore, the system has insufficient scalability, low integration and reliability. Aiming at the improvement of the existing position measurement system, an intelligent position measurement system integrating the functions of position signals acquisition, processing and uploading, data storage and analysis is proposed in this paper, and its working principle and system composition are discussed in detail. The position, speed and acceleration obtained on the electromagnetic emission platform are in good agreement with the expected value of the system. As results, the feasibility and accuracy of the improved integrated intelligent position measurement system are verified, and the control performance of the system is also satisfied well, which can be good guidance and reference for subsequent engineering practice.
