Can anybody give me good references on servo-control written for a
non-engineer?  I have an application where an electric motor needs to
follow a trajectory accurately and am looking for a better control
solution than the one I have.  The application uses a computer to derive
a torque command to a motor controller.

Unfortunately all the books I have on the subject are written for
fourth-year or postgrad engineering students, who are conversant with
Laplace transforms and other obscure (to me) mathematical theory.  I
really need a how-to manual rather than a theory book.

Thanks,
	Jeremy

Are you interested in the possibility of using fuzzy control?  If so,
you might want to check out one of the documents on TIL's fuzzy logic
email server - v1i2motr.txt.  This is an article on a comparison
between PID and fuzzy control of a servo motor system, excerpted from
one of TIL's company newsletters - the complete newsletter issue is
also on the server as v1i2.ps.Z.

To retreive this file, send a message of the following form, with no
subject, to fuzzy-server@til.com:

    path jeremy@cs.adelaide.edu.au
    send v1i2motr.txt
    quit

You'll receive the article by return email.

Thanks, I now have 4 copies of this.  Please don't send me any more!
