Real-time torque control for a DC motor using recurrent high order neural networks

Abstract

This paper presents a discrete-time direct current (DC) motor torque tracking controller, based on a recurrent high order neural network (RHONN) to identify the plant model. Using this model, a control law is derived, which combines block control and sliding modes techniques. The applicability of the scheme is illustrated via real time implementation for a DC motor with separate winding excitation.
