Examples of underactuated mechanisms of engineering importance are mobile robots, wheeled vehicles and space robotics. One such example of interest is the Acrobot. In this paper the Acrobot is modified so as to impose holonomic constraints on the system. The problem of formulating the equations of motions of the system along with the holonomic constraints using traditional methods is then addressed. An alternate method is then used to incorporate the holonomic constraints. This is followed by design of a control law for the swing up of the constrained Acrobot.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

Low frequency (acoustic) noise attenuation has faced attention in industrial environments and in automobile applications.

The setup consists of a rectangular wooden duct fitted with speakers (for actuation and noise) and microphones (for sensing). The system is interfaced to a stand-alone DSP board (dSPACE) with a TMS 320C31 chip and the control algorithm is implemented digitally on the DSP.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

Traditionally, PWM control is accomplished using a natural sampling technique. Though its implementation is simple and in real time, it cannot give good performance in the entire operating range. Microprocessor-based PWM generation can offer significant advantages but suffer from computational time limitations. Moreover, it is not economical for general-purpose variable speed drives. A novel technique of PWM signal generation is addressed in this paper. While different requirements of high performance SPWM are fulfilled, the circuit configuration is reduced compared with conventional circuits. A regular sampled, asymmetric, synchronized SPWM with variable gear ratio and third harmonic injection at higher modulation depth, is realized with much reduced hardware. Such reduction in complexity, cost and space are essential to boost the changeover from constant speed to variable speed drive for energy saving in general applications. This was the motivation of work presented. The technique is well suited even for dedicated implementation using a microcontroller.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

The new method is therefore considered a valuable alternative to existing methods.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

In particular the classifier fan is operated with and without VFD. The speed of the fan is adjusted depending on the grade of tobacco. Three different classifier fans driven by different rating motors are chosen for experimental studies. The motors can be supplied either from grid supply or inverter. Measurements such as input current, power factor, running load are made on each drive at different speeds with and without damper control during the processing of tobacco for a given load cycle over the selected period. The reduction in the energy consumption of the VFD fan drives is obtained and cost benefit analysis is made. Further, the payback period is also computed. From the experimental studies it is found that the airflow varies according to the speed of the fan motor and use of damper circuit can be completely eliminated. Various performance characteristics are presented.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.
