In recent years, there have been several breakthroughs in the theoretical research of servo control algorithms. However most of these control algorithms remain in the simulation stage. They are difficult to be applied directly to practical platforms or complex industrial sites because of the lack of an experimental system suitable for the verification of their effectiveness. To address this problem, we designed a multi-function servo control algorithm verification experiment system (MVES) within the MATLAB/Simulink theoretical simulation model directly to communicate with the TwinCAT 3 PLC master program to perform different servo control experiments. The MVES supports various Simulink models. However, its and the operation is simple and convenient, which greatly reduces the workload of the algorithm test and has important practical value. Two sets of comparative experiments were used to verify the versatility and superiority of MVES.
