The paper investigates the specifics of the digital implementation of a rotor synchronization control algorithm for the SV-2M two-rotor vibration unit. The influence of the sampling period on the stability of the synchronous mode is evaluated using computer simulations in MATLAB/Simulink, with time quantization and zero-order hold delay explicitly accounted for. A comparative analysis of the digital and analog versions of the algorithm has been performed. The boundary values of the discretization periods for different values of the given total energy of the system have been determined. The obtained results confirm the applicability of the proposed approach for digital control systems of vibratory equipment.
