As a result of that, the centralized control architectures are replaced by flexible distributed control systems based on intelligent drives and powerful communication networks. CAN network was designed for car networking in order to reduce the complexity of the related wiring harnesses. To achieve the real-time communication constraints the traditional CAN application technique must be updated. This paper presents a new approach of using the dynamically priority allocation technique for a CAN network. Our solution is to increase gradually the message priority until it becomes the message with the highest priority from the network and it is transmitted. This method of message priority allocation allows us to determine its maximum transmission time.","PeriodicalId":236208,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124422491","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 methodology can be used either in an unsupervised fashion, or on-line, classifying new trajectories or part of them; it is able to manage different length and noisy trajectories, occlusions and takes velocity profiles and stops into account. We extend our previous work by taking into account other features besides the spatial locations, in particular we consider the direction of movement in correspondence of each trajectory point.

Oil-free bearing has merits that the continuous operation is possible because the lubrication system is not required and the refrigerant is not contaminated by the oil. This paper presents the design procedure of thrust hybrid magnetic bearing (HMB) and its controller for turbo refrigerant compressor. Thrust HMB consists of permanent magnet and electromagnet and it is designed to support 2,000N thrust force by compressor at 21,000rpm operating speed. After building the thrust bearing test rig and control system with PID controller, plant model of hybrid thrust bearing was established by measuring FRF(frequency response function) from the test rig. Based on FRF, PID gain was optimized and the test rotor was successfully levitated with 4.7µm standard deviation from the reference axial position. The additional DOB(disturbance observer) was designed to attenuate the low frequency disturbance and the measured error sensitivity transfer function shows that DOB works well as it has designed.","PeriodicalId":236208,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117022122","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 position control of the slider is the key technique in the servo presses. In order to achieve an excellent position control performance of the slider, a position servo control strategy of the slider in a servo press - double toggle mechanical press is proposed in this paper. The control strategy combines the Bezier curve model and the fuzzy control methods. Firstly, the controlled mechanical object is described. Then, a Bezier curve model is established to accurately describe the control curves. Based on this Bezier curve model, the position servo control given curves of the crank for different processes are obtained. Afterwards, transverse flux machine (TFM) is selected as the servo motor for the control system because of its high force densities. Since TFM has complex nonlinear features, a Fuzzy-Proportional-Integral (fuzzy-PI) control method is presented to control the crank position for tracking the given curves. At last, the tracking curves for different processes are obtained. The results show that the control strategy can effectively achieve the flexible manufacturing of the press.","PeriodicalId":236208,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115667559","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}

First, modeling such huge systems with explicit state-transition models typically results in an intractable model. An alternative modeling approach is to use extended finite automata (EFAs), which is an augmentation of ordinary automata with variables. The main advantage of utilizing EFAs for modeling is that more compact models are obtained. The second problem concerns the ease to understand and implement the supervisor. To handle this problem, we represent the supervisor in a modular manner by extending the original EFAs by compact conditional expressions generated from the monolithic supervisor. In order to, potentially, be able to handle complex systems efficiently, the models are symbolically represented by binary decision diagrams (BDDs). All computations that are performed in this framework are based on BDD operations. The framework has been implemented in a supervisory control tool and applied to industrially relevant benchmark problems.","PeriodicalId":236208,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"5 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115675347","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}

Since most equipment types are very complex, maintenance engineers are provided with manuals of troubleshooting flow charts. These manuals offer guidelines for finding the cause of the problem. Since such manuals are often static, clumsy and difficult to extend, it might be hard for maintenance engineers to efficiently perform cause-effect testing. For this reason, we employed a Bayesian network model that is developed from troubleshooting flow charts, which is able to overcome these deficiencies. The network is built as a self-learning diagnostic system. Troubleshooting sessions are used to train the network, so that the order of potential root causes is dynamically updated by actual maintenance experience. An Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is used to update the network. Furthermore, by ordering symptoms according to a mutual information criterion, it is possible to provide maintenance engineers with a ranking of the most informative and efficient tests to run.","PeriodicalId":236208,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114514969","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}
