Gimbal Axes Control with PID Controllers

Local Linear PID Controllers for Nonlinear Control

Nonlinear PID design is difficult if one approaches the problem from a global design perspective. In this paper, we propose coalescing the adaptive local linear modeling approach with traditional linear PID controller design techniques to arrive at a principled, intuitive, and simple nonlinear PID controller design methodology. The paper, in particular, discusses two local linear modeling appro...

Cascade Control System for Two Axes Gimbal System with Mass Unbalance

the application of inertial stabilization system is to stabilize the sensor’s line of sight toward a target by isolating the sensor from the disturbances induced by the operating environment. The aim of this paper is to present two axes gimbal system. The equations of gimbals motion are derived using Lagrange equation considering the base angular motion and mass unbalance. The stabilization loo...

Event driven intelligent PID controllers with applications to motion control

A novel type of reduced complexity controller is proposed. It is the combination of model free control and event triggered control. The robustness of model free control, especially for badly known dynamics, is added to the event based scheme. The performances of the proposed method are illustrated in two motion controls, vehicular longitudinal control and quadrotor control. Comparisons with exi...

Design of Robust PID Controllers with Constrained Control Signal Activity

This thesis presents a new method for design of PI and PID controllers with the level of control signal activity taken into consideration. The main reason why the D-part is often disabled in industrial control loops is because it leads to control signal sensitivity of measurement noise. A frequently varying control signal with too high amplitude will very likely lead to actuator wear and tear. ...
