“…Based on research on the modeling of the tension system, Liang et al proposed a coordinated and optimized control method for multiple rolls, in which the speed of the drive roll of the next unit was adjusted to maintain the low tension condition of the substrate when the speed of the drive roll of the previous unit changes [9]. Chen et al proposed a nonlinear model predictive control scheme to eliminate tension perturbations in roll-to-roll systems [10]. Jeon et al proposed a feed-forward controller that employed finite element method (FEM)-based web temperature distribution inputs to enhance tension control performance during the drying span [11].…”

Aiming at the problems of strong coupling and time-varying parameters in the tension systems of roll-to-roll coating machines, this paper outlines the design of a parameter self-tuning decoupling controller based on an improved active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) for tension systems. First, we established a nonlinear coupled model for a global tension system based on the roll-to-roll coating machine tension constituent unit and working principle. Second, we introduced virtual quantities and actual control quantities; then, we applied an ADRC for decoupling control of the tension system based on a nonlinear coupling model, using a genetic algorithm (GA) to achieve parameters tuning in the ADRC. Finally, both the traditional proportional–integral–differential (PID) controller and the designed controller were simulated to evaluate their anti-interference and decoupling performance. Furthermore, the performances of several controllers were compared to the results obtained by other researchers. The result found that the parameter self-tuning decoupling controller based on an improved ADRC for tension systems exhibited better decoupling control performance and that the controller was able to achieve precise control of tension.
