  1. Master of Science assignment Demonstrator of advanced controllers Hans Dirne May 25th, 2005 Supervisors prof.dr.ir. J. van Amerongen dr.ir. J.F. Broenink dr.ir. T.J.A. de Vries ir. P.B.T. Weustink

  2. Why this assignment? The Major ‘Mechatronics’ provides several courses in control theory, in which the theory is often supported by simulations. A physical setup might, in addition to simulations, be an enrichment for demonstrating control theory. Such a demonstration setup will be able to make the theory more insightful and will show real limitations in practical setups. Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  19. Viscous PLUS coulomb friction Mathematical model – 6th order Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  20. Focus • Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) • Proportional, Integral, Differential (PID) Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  21. LQG explanation A LQG control algorithm is a combination of • Lin. Quad. Regulator (state feedback) • Lin. Quad. Estimator (state estimation) 4th order linear model required! Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  22. 4th order linear model Required steps: • Downsize system order • Linearize system: discard coulomb friction Result: linear 4th order model (e.g. State Space) Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  23. LQG controlled system Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  24. PID Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  25. Tuning (1) For proper comparison of the PID with the LQG controlled system, tuning with the same criteria is required. • Avoid actuator saturation • Minimization of criterion: position error controller output Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  26. Tuning (2) Tuning procedure: • Set Q and R • Minimize criterion J by optimizing controller gains (KLQG and KP,KI,KD) Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  27. Tuning (3) Optimization results KP = 15.7 KI = 42 KD = 1.6 KLQG = [3.7, 74, 8.2, 70]T Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  28. PID vs LQG (1) • The PID controlled system consumes twice the power of the LQG system • The maximum frame movement in the PID controlled system is twice compared to LQG Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  29. PID vs LQG (2) The LQG control algorithm leads to an unacceptable position error with the nonlinear process Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  40. Results The LQG+ controlled system outperforms the PID controlled system: • Maximum frame movement differs factor 3 • Total power consumption differs a factor 2 • Both control algorithms minimize the static error, but the LQG controlled system is faster More performance increase is expected with a better model Differences in performance between 2nd order PID and 4th order LQG have now been demonstrated in practice Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  42. Demonstration What will be shown: • ‘Homing’ of the demonstrator • Determining absolute position • PID controller in practice with various controller gains Furthermore: • Online adjustment of parameters • Real-time variable monitoring • Real-time animation of demonstration setup Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  43. Conclusions & Recommendations Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  44. Conclusions • The new mechatronic demonstration setup is a compact, integrated machine that forms a versatile development environment for testing various control algorithms in practice • The new demonstrator allows for easy comparison of different control algorithms 3. Non-linear friction elements in the process will lead to lower performance in position control of a 4th order LQG-controlled system compared to a 2nd order PID control algorithm 4. Addition of an integrating term leads to an ‘LQG+’ control algorithm that can compensate for differences between process and reference model. Demonstrator of advanced controllers

  45. Recommendations Hardware • Expand safety system • Reduce weight of the demonstrator (next version) • Add parallel processing (e.g. distributed control) Software / control • Experiment with more control systems (MRAS, (L)FF, ILC etc) • Perform system identification General 1.
