In this paper, we consider the development of a knowledge-based approach to provide an estimation procedure for the dead-time in industrial processes. This development forms a module within a larger project for development of an intelligent knowledge-based process controller.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121235117","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}

In this paper, we propose a fuzzy logic-based precompensation approach for PID controllers. We demonstrate the performance of our scheme via experiments performed on a DC servomotor position control testbed under varying load conditions. Our results show that the fuzzy precompensated PID controller has superior performance compared to conventional PID controllers. In addition, the proposed scheme is robust to variations in load. In our experimental testbed the variations in loading conditions correspond to variations in the level of nonlinearities in the plant. Our scheme is easily implemented in practice simply by adding a fuzzy precompensator to an existing PID controller.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121324260","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 FLC and the plant should follow a desired trajectory which is given by a reference model. The parameters of the FLC are adapted by using a method known as model reference. Because FLCs are in general used for analytically unknown or little known plants the model reference approach must be modified. The adjustment algorithm is divided into two parts: 1) A controller output to yield model following is computed using an inverse plant model. If no analytical description of the plant exists a newly defined gradient model will be used which needs only little information about the plant. 2) The desired output of the FLC is obtained by using a gradient approach to adapt the parameters of the FLC. Simulation studies show the effectiveness of the this algorithm. Furthermore first experimental results for a hydraulic cylinder are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115632798","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 governing equations of motion are coupled, nonlinear, and nonautonomous; hence, nonlinear control, based on the Feedback Linearization Technique (FLT), is incorporated. Versatility of the formulation is illustrated through dynamical studies of the multipurpose telecommunications satellite, Indian Satellite II(INSAT-II) and Space Station based two-link Mobile Servicing System (MSS). The uncontrolled dynamics of the INSAT-II shows that the flexible spacecraft to be in an inherently unstable equilibrium orientation. Control, based on the FLT, is then applied to restore the desired attitude of the spacecraft. The performance of the MSS undergoing inplane and out-of-plane slewing maneuvers is compared. Results indicate that, in absence of control, the maneuvers induce vibration of the links as well as undesirable librational motion of the Space Station. Control is next applied to the Space Station. Once the altitude of the Space Station is controlled, the performance of the MSS improves significantly.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114748020","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}
