A saturating control law and a region, in which the stability of the closed-loop saturated system is ensured, are derived from an ARE-approach. The uncertainty is of the norm-bounded time-varying type. A local approach is chosen in the sense that no open-loop stability assumption is a priori considered. In the proposed method, the position and rate systems inputs are allowed to saturate. The results are based on the use of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii Theorem. The stability of the closed-loop system is delay-independent.","PeriodicalId":117668,"journal":{"name":"1999 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123207870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The result of the approximation are rectangular automata, a class of hybrid automata for which a numerically robust approximative analysis algorithm exists. Thus, the approximation procedure can be applied when we are interested in the reachability set of a switched continuous system for which a direct analysis is infeasible. The approach is illustrated by application to a simple physical example. As an extension, an algorithm is presented to adjust the accuracy of the approximation to the continuous dynamics by choosing a state space partitioning according to the variation of the vector field.","PeriodicalId":117668,"journal":{"name":"1999 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123677616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This system is supposed to realize relatively fast linear displacements from 1 count (4 nm) to 400 mm. A linear displacement of 25mm must be achieved in less than 0.2 s with maximum acceleration of 1 g and current and voltage limitations, and with an error in the final position less than 1 count. A nonlinear model of the plant is obtained, consisting of two independent subsystems, representing the two linear drive dynamics. Flatness based motion planning and tracking design are proposed. Each motor's tracking controller is then realized in a hierarchical way by a high level force control loop and a low level current loop.","PeriodicalId":117668,"journal":{"name":"1999 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124808121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The T-design and the Q-parametrisation methods are often used to enhance the robustness of predictive controllers. The former is heuristic, whereas optimisation rules exist for the latter, which makes it systematic. However, the T-design tends to producing larger robustness margins. The T-optimisation presented here is a systematic procedure to choose T based on optimising a quadratic criterion on robustness and thus, overcomes the drawbacks of heuristic approaches. This method can lead to robustness margins larger than those obtained with other techniques.","PeriodicalId":117668,"journal":{"name":"1999 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"58 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129751537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis is made using a first order plant with dead-time controlled by a Smith predictor plus a pi controller, that is, a scheme commonly used in the process industry. Using a frequency domain analysis the stability and the bifurcations of the system are analyzed when a saturation is included in the control system. The obtained results suggests the use of filters to avoid the undesirable effects produced by the error in the estimation of the dead-time and the saturation. The design of these filters is based on the stability analysis performed in this paper and gives less conservative results than the ones obtained using others approaches. In order to illustrate the results, some simulation examples are shown.","PeriodicalId":117668,"journal":{"name":"1999 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128377380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
