We first present a right inverse of backlash and then give one of its possible numerical implementations. Characteristics like backlash are seldom known, so an adaptive version of our backlash inverse is more suitable for applications. We develop an adaptive backlash inverse scheme and apply it to feedback control of a known linear plant with an unknown backlash at its input. We use simulation results to illustrate the achieved performance improvements.","PeriodicalId":162700,"journal":{"name":"1993 American Control Conference","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124623317","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 approach is based on the continuity property of the nonlinear functions which represent input-output models of continuous dynamic systems. The approach does not depend on any nonlinear function approximation methods and solely depends on the system's input-output data measured in experiments. By evaluating the modification of an index which is defined as Lipschitz number with the successive modification of model orders, the appropriate model orders can be determined simply and reliably. Theoretical background of the present approach is discussed. Several examples from chaotic dynamic systems, nonlinear plant models are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method.","PeriodicalId":162700,"journal":{"name":"1993 American Control Conference","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124854263","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 method arrives at a process model and its corresponding compensator in an iterative fashion by introducing a series of step chan at the manipulated variable. The bias introduced into the identification data set by the closed-loop system, coupled with a control-relevant prefilter, yields a model whose corresponding control system improves its performance at every step. The method is appealing to chemical engineering practitioners because it combines the tasks of system identification with controller commissioning to produce a simple-to-use yet reliable autotuning procedure.","PeriodicalId":162700,"journal":{"name":"1993 American Control Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128914282","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}

It is shown that both speed and load-torque may be estimated from the current measurements for use in two proposed nonlinear controllers. The two proposed feedback laws are based on feedback linearization and input-output linearization. Further, both the speed/torque estimation scheme and the control schemes are valid in the prescence of magnetic saturation in the field circuit and when high-speed field-weakening is employed. The estimation is accomplished by using nonlinear state-space and output-space transformations to construct an observer with linear error-dynamics whose rate of convergence may be arbitrarily specified. (Such an observer could provide reliability to existing systems in the event of a speed sensor failure.) The feedback-linearization controller involves a non-trivial state-space transformation allowing control of the full state trajectory. It is then shown that a simpler input-output linearization controller with stable internal dynamics exists and is explicitly constructed.","PeriodicalId":162700,"journal":{"name":"1993 American Control Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128966512","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}
