Passivity-Based Control of an Overhead Travelling Crane
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a passivity-based control scheme is proposed for the two main translational axes of an overhead crane to provide an active damping of crane load oscillations. The decentralised control structure consists of independent axis controllers, which are adapted to the varying rope length using gain-scheduling techniques. The tracking capabilities concerning desired trajectories for the crane load in the xy-plane can be improved by introducing feedforward control based on an inverse system model. Furthermore, a reduced-order disturbance observer is utilised for the compensation of nonlinear friction forces. The achieved control performance is shown by selected experimental results obtained from an implementation on a 5 t-overhead travelling crane. Copyright c ©2008 IFAC

Application of Independent Joint Control Strategy for Discrete-Time Servo Control of Overhead Cranes
In this study, a new servo control system is presented for the overhead crane based on discrete-time state feedback approach. It provides both robust tracking and load swing suppression. Inspired from independent joint and computed torque control in robot manipulator field, a new model is derived in which the crane actuators are considered as the main plant. The crane nonlinearities are then tr...

This paper proposes a simple but efficient technique to control 3D overhead crane. Load must track a desired path and not sway more than a reasonable range.The proposed method uses PID control for trolley to track the desired path and fuzzy control compensation to eliminate the load swing. Only the projection of swing angle is applied to design the fuzzy controller. No plant information of cran...

متن کاملSensor-based Collision Avoidance for Rope-suspended Autonomous Material Flow Systems
A novel approach to collision avoidance concerning unknown dynamic obstacles is presented for a material flow system using an overhead travelling crane. The task involves the tracking of a desired trajectory derived from a path planning module based on a global map containing all static obstacles. The crane has been upgraded with three ultrasonic sensors which detect dynamic obstacles on the de...
متن کاملGeometric-PBC based Control of 4-DOF Underactuated Overhead Crane System
The control of 4-DOF underactuated overhead crane system poses a challenging control problem as it has extra degree of freedom (DOF) compared to its popular 3DOF variant. The extra DOF represents strong state coupling and hence more complicated system dynamics. We propose Geometric Passivity Based Control (PBC) methodology for synthesis of nonlinear stabilising feedback control law. The structu...
