Velocity
The speed at which a motor or mechanical system runs.
Velocity loop
A servo control function that sums a velocity command signal with a speed feedback signal from a servo motor, and outputs the difference as a torque command signal.
Virtual master
An encoder signal created in the software of a motion control to allow synchronizing multiple servo systems. A typical machine may have several virtual master encoders.
VxWorks
VxWorks is a real-time operating systems that guarantees an absolutely deterministic response. It is increasingly used in motion control because of its real-time behavior, stability, operating time, and memory efficiency. (Dev. by Wind River Systems)
