This paper proposes a damping compensation-based ADRC (DC-ADRC) framework that integrates real-time vibration information from the isolated object to overcome this limitation. The extended state observer (ESO) is utilised to estimate disturbances in the relative position loop to ensure suspension stability, whereas a newly designed damping compensator actively incorporates absolute acceleration feedback to improve isolation performance.

Traditional field-programmable gate array (FPGA) control architectures, however, typically employ a ‘single-axis single intellectual property (IP) core’ design, which faces inherent limitations. As the number of axes increases, the required logic resources grow linearly. This restricts the system's ability to support large-scale multiaxis systems on a single FPGA chip. Additionally, parameter variations among motors introduce complexity into the controller tuning. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes an FPGA-based large-scale time division multiplexing (LTDM) method. This method determines the maximum number of axes that can be processed in one cycle by quantifying control time. Then, it designs a parallel time division multiplexing (TDM) architecture to expand the control scale. Cascaded buffering and pipeline segmentation are employed to address timing issues resulting from high fanout. To address the challenge of multimotor parameter tuning, a particle swarm optimisation (PSO)-based self-tuning strategy is developed, using a trajectory tracking evaluation function for automatic parameter adjustment. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method reduces logic resource consumption by 79.86% in an 88-axis micro DC motor servo system, with all motors maintaining position tracking errors within <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mo>±</mo>\u0000 <mn>2</mn>\u0000 <mo>°</mo>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation> $pm 2{}^{circ}$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>.

This paper explores optimal parameters and techniques of current signal acquisition and preprocessing for detecting different faults in induction motors using machine learning and motor current signature analysis. Conventional fault detection methods usually advocate for a higher frequency resolution in the motor current spectrum, which requires longer current signal measurements that are difficult and expensive to conduct and process in case of a real-world scenario. Thus, this work aims to identify the limitations to frequency resolution for successful fault diagnosis when applying machine learning algorithms, here, a multilayer perceptron model. The goal is to provide recommendations on signal preprocessing for feature extraction to enhance the performance of the machine learning model. For example, a signal transformation method via signal multirate resampling is evaluated for the improvement of the algorithm accuracy results. The proposed methods boost not only the prediction accuracy but also may refine the system performance when considering industrial applications, as this work outlines in detail the signal acquisition and preprocessing logic. In this paper, the investigated faults include broken rotor bar, bearing fault, misalignment, eccentricity, imbalance, looseness and mixed faults.

Besides, the multidomain evaluative model can reduce training time consumption whilst improving the prediction accuracy. Experimental validation indicates that the predicted magnetic flux density maps have an average error of less than 0.13% compared to FEA results.

Conventional methods often struggle to achieve high precision under these conditions. To address this gap, this paper proposes a novel hybrid regression model that integrates an improved Tuna Swarm Optimisation (TSO) algorithm with Support Vector Regression (SVR). This approach represents a significant advancement over existing single-method analyses. The study begins by establishing a high-fidelity 3D magnetic-thermal simulation and a coupled field-circuit-network model for a 320 MVA steam turbine generator. This model is used to compute the stator end magnetic field distribution under various leading-phase depths. The core novelty lies in the application of the improved TSO algorithm to optimise the hyperparameters of the SVR model, creating a robust framework for magnetic field prediction under the complex conditions of LPO. The optimised magnetic field data are then utilised for temperature field analysis. Validation against experimental data from a high-power test platform demonstrates the superiority of the proposed TSO-SVR model. The results show a significant improvement in prediction accuracy compared with conventional methods and other benchmark algorithms, with temperature trends closely aligning with measurements.
