However, when using low-rate sampling electronics, the implementation is not trivial and the resulting performance can be poor. This paper proposes effective tuning rules that only require establishing the bandwidth of the inner velocity loop and an estimation of the inertia of the mechanism. Since discrete-time mechatronic systems can also exhibit unstable behavior, several stability conditions are also derived. By using the proposed methodology, a P-PI control algorithm is developed for a desktop haptic device, obtaining good experimental performance with low sampling-rate electronics.}, type={Article}, title={Motion control algorithm and tuning rules for mechanical devices with low sampling-rate electronics}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115851/PDF/ACS-2020-1-6.pdf}, doi={10.24425/acs.2020.132588}, keywords={motion control, cascade control loops, discrete-time systems, stability, mechatronic systems}, }
