A new technique to reduce overshoot in pneumatic positioning system

Abstract

This paper presents a new approach for improving the performance of the pneumatic positioning system by incorporating a nonlinear gain function with observer system. System identification technique has been employed to represent the pneumatic system, while a model predictive control (MPC) with the observer system has been employed as the main controller to control the positioning of the system. The nonlinear gain function has been incorporated with the control strategy to compensate nonlinearities and uncertainties inherent in the parameters of the system. Unconstrained and constrained cases of control signals have been considered in this study. Simulation based on Matlab/Simulink indicated a reduction in overshoot of the system response for both cases due to additional nonlinear gain function in the strategy. Furthermore, remarkable enhancement was observed in effectiveness of this function while incorporated in constrained case, when this new strategy successfully improved the transient response in the pneumatic positioning system.

Development of Nonlinear Adaptive PI Controller For Improved Pneumatic Actuator System

“…Based on the convolution principle, the functional of F[x] can be described as (15) where * denotes the convolution while g(t) is the impulse response of the linear time-invariant system. Therefore, the Frechet derivative stated in ( 14) can be expressed as ( 16)…”

“…It then continued by the implementation of the pole-placement feedback controller and PI with bang-bang controller as discussed in [13] and [14], respectively. The study to control the IPA system was extended to predictive functional control (PFC) and model predictive control (MPC), such presented in [3][4][5]15]. Even though both the PFC and MPC offer good tracking potential and overshoot, but it highly asks for a complex control strategy.…”

Model predictive control of magnetic levitation system

“…Quang, et al, [18], the design a motor of polysolemoid linear (PLM) in many aspects of material due to its operations, in which the motion is straight that it is provided directly witout actuators of mediate mechanical. Some methods of control for PLM focused on motor of rotation have been applied with commons on model by mathematic manner, but position, constraints of current and velocity which are significant in real syatem have been neglected.…”
