Control system design automation for mechanical systems (first report)

Abstract

The authors propose a controller design automation system for mechanical systems. The system consists of a requirement interpretation block, a modeling block, an analysis/design block, and a verification block. The requirement interpretation block transforms the specifications in terms of the application to those in terms of control. The analysis/design block selects an optimal control structure in addition to control parameters. In this report the authors describe the configuration of the system and the analysis/design block. To explain the functions of the analysis/design block, a mechanical system with two-mass system is used as a controlled object, and a disturbance observer controller, a state observer controller, a PI-D controller, and a PI controller are prepared for a controller.
