Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of a sliding-mod controller for tracking servo of optical disk drives. The tracking servo is majorly subject to two disturbance sources: radial run-out and shock. The lateral run-out disturbance is mostly repeatable, and a model of such disturbance is incorporated into the controller design to effectively compensate for it. Meanwhile, as a shock disturbance is usually non-repeatable and unpredictable, the sliding-mode controller is employed for its robustness to abrupt perturbations. As a result, a sliding-mode controller design based on the internal model principle is tailored for tracking servo of optical disk drives in order to deal with these two major disturbances. Experimental comparative studies are conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the specially designed controller.
Abstract: This paper presents a controller design technique for
Synchronous Reluctance Motor to improve its dynamic performance
with fast response and high accuracy. The sliding mode control is the
most attractive and suitable method to use for this purpose, since it is
simple in design and for its insensitivity to parameter variations or
external disturbances. When this method implemented it yields fast
dynamic response without overshoot and a zero steady-state error.
The current loop control with decentralized sliding mode is presented
in this paper. The mathematical model for the synchronous machine,
the inverter and the controller is developed. The stability of the
sliding mode controller is analyzed. Simulation of synchronous
reluctance motor and the controller with PWM-inverter has been
curried out, using the SIMULINK software package of MATLAB.
Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the
approach.
Abstract: In this paper, the application of sliding-mode control to a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is presented. The control design is based on a generic mathematical model of the motor. Some dynamics of the motor and of the power amplification stage remain unmodelled. This model uncertainty is estimated in realtime. The estimation is based on the differentiation of measured signals using the ideas of robust exact differentiator (RED). The control law is implemented on an industrial servo drive. Simulations and experimental results are presented and compared to the same control strategy without uncertainty estimation. It turns out that the proposed concept is superior to the same control strategy without uncertainty estimation especially in the case of non-smooth reference signals.
Abstract: This paper considers the control of the longitudinal
flight dynamics of an F-16 aircraft. The primary design objective
is model-following of the pitch rate q, which is the preferred
system for aircraft approach and landing. Regulation of the aircraft
velocity V (or the Mach-hold autopilot) is also considered, but
as a secondary objective. The problem is challenging because the
system is nonlinear, and also non-affine in the input. A sliding
mode controller is designed for the pitch rate, that exploits the
modal decomposition of the linearized dynamics into its short-period
and phugoid approximations. The inherent robustness of the SMC
design provides a convenient way to design controllers without gain
scheduling, with a steady-state response that is comparable to that
of a conventional polynomial based gain-scheduled approach with
integral control, but with improved transient performance. Integral
action is introduced in the sliding mode design using the recently
developed technique of “conditional integrators", and it is shown that
robust regulation is achieved with asymptotically constant exogenous
signals, without degrading the transient response. Through extensive
simulation on the nonlinear multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
longitudinal model of the F-16 aircraft, it is shown that the conditional
integrator design outperforms the one based on the conventional linear
control, without requiring any scheduling.
