Automatic control system
First Claim
1. An automatic control system for controlling a cycle of motions of t least a power member controlled by a servo device, in particular for a plurality of hydraulic power units to be simultaneously actuated, comprising a control transmitter for setting desired motional values, a control circuit for actuating said servo device, a loop for feeding back positional data defining a sequence of positions of the power member in operation, and a memory including at least one random memory for reading-in and out said positional data which define said cycle of motions, characterized in that a random memory each is correlated to each power member, that the data defining said positions successive in time and corresponding in time to said cycle of motions are read-in identical memory location in each random memory and that the speed of reading-in and out said positional data is freely selectable by a time selecting DPTR signal controlled by a pedal such that the switching time between the memory locations in each random memory is modified by the DPTR signal, and when the pedal is actuated to make the DPTR signal indefinite, the reading out of said positional data from the memory locations is stopped to allow the last positional data read-out from each random memory to be superimposed with desired magnitudes adjusted by said control transmitter.

Abstract
An automatic control including a memory is provided to be loaded with positional data for the automatic control of a cycle of motions of preferably a plurality of power members. The speed reading the data in and out is freely selectable. Accordingly programming a cycle of motions may be performed in a slow motion process, whereas the speed of reading out the data is selected such that an optimum operational speed is obtained. In addition to the automatic speed control a manual control is provided to interrupt the cycle motion of the automatic control to manually adjust the position or the power member. In returning to the automatic control the further cycle of motion is taken up again where it has been interrupted.
