I search information about design the software and the hardware of controllers especially servo controllers.
I have several questions about this subject and I will glad if you can write your opinion and add some relevant links.

A. I want to understand these things:
A.1. What is servo control?
A.2. What is developing recognition process?
A.3. What are automatic tuning controller parameters? What is Automatic unit?
A.4. What is developing of controller algorithms?
A.5. What is controller simulation?
A.6. What is writing real time code for controllers?
A.7. What are servo controllers?
A.7. What is adaptive control?

B. I search any relevant information, website links, or your comments about these things:
B.1. writing algorithms in digital control (difference equations and the analytical analysis [like Z transform and others analytical analysis])
B.2. simulation for controllers in Matlab
B.3. wire (not wireless) communication between the controller and the processor
B.4. operation systems that use in the controllers
B.5. smart electronic board with processor that do the control on mechanics systems

Your questions are far to general to answer in any meaningful way in a forum post.

Why don't you pick up a couple of good books on what you're interested in? Maybe look up some reviews and decide on what books might suit you. If money is a problem, go to the library.

Maybe you could sign up for some classes that cover some of your questions?

If you're looking for a quick way to gain some basic insight into some topic, is Google, or some other search engine, really no help to you?

1. What is a servo controller?

A servo controller is a device or software that regulates the movement of a servo motor. It receives input signals and sends out output signals to control the position, velocity, and acceleration of the servo motor.

2. What are the key components of a servo controller?

The key components of a servo controller include a microcontroller, a servo motor, a power supply, and a position feedback sensor. The microcontroller processes the input signals and sends out output signals to the servo motor. The power supply provides the necessary energy for the servo motor to move. The position feedback sensor provides information about the current position of the servo motor.

3. How is the software designed for a servo controller?

The software for a servo controller is designed to receive and process input signals, calculate the necessary output signals based on the desired movement of the servo motor, and send out these signals to the servo motor. It also includes safety features such as limits on the maximum and minimum movement of the servo motor to prevent damage.

4. How is the hardware designed for a servo controller?

The hardware for a servo controller includes the physical components such as the microcontroller, servo motor, power supply, and position feedback sensor. These components are connected through circuitry and designed to work together to control the movement of the servo motor.

5. What are the applications of servo controllers?

Servo controllers are used in a variety of applications, including robotics, manufacturing, and automation. They are also commonly used in hobby projects such as RC cars and airplanes. Servo controllers are essential in any system that requires precise and controlled movement of a servo motor.
