Background. The current direction of improving industrial robotic manipulators is considered – reducing the cost of information, measuring and control systems of electric drives. Materials and methods. A structural diagram and a basic electrical diagram of information-measuring and control systems of electric drives, characterized by a minimum number of elements, are presented. A computer simulation model of an electric drive with the proposed information, measuring and control system has been developed in the Matlab Simulink program. Results and conclusions. The results of a study of a simulation model of an electric drive that meet the requirements for industrial robotic manipulators are presented.
