Quick Answers

A frequency inverter is a device designed to control the speed of AC induction motors without affecting the electric consumption, torque, impedance, magnetic flux, etc. of the motor. This allows accurate variation and control of the motor's velocity.
Servo motors are motors that have a positional feedback device to be able to monitor and maintain the position of the motor as well as the speed and torque of the motor.
The most common types are rotary and linear servo motors.
Rotary servo motors
Rotary servo motors rotate like other motors and utilize different types of mechanical actuators to achieve linear motion if needed.
Linear servo motors
Linear motors, however, are constructed so the move along linear bearings to achieve high speed and accuracy of linear motion with extra mechanical devices that can reduce the speed and accuracy required.
A motion control system contains the motion profiles and target positions for the application and creates the trajectories for the motor and/or actuator. Motion control often utilizes monitoring, or "feedback", devices to maintain the position of the motor and its load. It can also use the feedback to correct the position to maintain any possible errors that may occur.
Omron PMAC motion controllers bring speed and accuracy, as well as flexibility to motion control
PMAC motion controllers are designed with the most complex and difficult applications in mind, yet are scalable to fit into all applications. PMAC's have the ability to monitor, modify and act in real time, including motion, IO and communication allows for higher speed operations and improvements on machine behavior. PMAC offers flexibility in programming languages so engineers can program in what they are comfortable and efficient. The power of the PMAC is in the imagination of the machine designer and programmer and is not limited by processor or firmware limitations.
