Important state parameters, such as torque and angle obtained from the servo control and drive system, can reflect the operating condition of the equipment. However, there are two problems with the information obtained through the network from the control and drive system: the low sampling rate, which does not meet the sampling theorem and the nonuniformity of the sampling points. By combing equivalent sampling and nonuniform signal reconstruction theory, this paper proposes a reconstruction method for signal obtained from servo system in periodic reciprocating motion. Equivalent sampling combines the low rate and nonuniform samples from multiple periods into one single period, so that the equivalent sampling rate is far increased. Then, the nonuniform samples with high density are further resampled to meet the reconstruction conditions. This step can avoid the amplitude error in the reconstructed signal and increase the possibility of successful reconstruction. Finally, the reconstruction formula derived from basis theory is applied to recover the signal. This method has been successfully verified by the simulation signal of the robot swing process and the actual current signal collected on the robot arm testbed.
