A robust, discrete, near time-optimal controller for hard disk drives

چکیده
This paper presents a robust, discrete, near time-optimal control algorithm for hard disk drives. Building on the continuous-time control law of Newman [Trans. Automatic Control 35 (7) (1990) 841] and Newman and Souccar [J. Dynamic Syst. Measure. Control 113 (1991) 363], the chattering phenomenon for continuous-time systems is first examined, and it is shown how additional chattering can occur in the discrete-time case. A criterion for the selection of control parameters to prevent chattering in the discrete-time case while assuring controller stability is then suggested. The controller developed is applied to a commercial hard disk drive. Compared to the more commonly used PTOS, the proposed controller significantly reduces chattering while maintaining comparable seek time to reach the destination track. © 2004 Elsevier Inc.

Optimal discrete-time control of robot manipulators in repetitive tasks
Optimal discrete-time control of linear systems has been presented already. There are some difficulties to design an optimal discrete-time control of robot manipulator since the robot manipulator is highly nonlinear and uncertain. This paper presents a novel robust optimal discrete-time control of electrically driven robot manipulators for performing repetitive tasks. The robot performs repetit...
متن کاملOptimal H∞ Control Design and Implementation of Hard Disk Drives With Irregular Sampling Rates
Missing position error signal sampling data in hard disk drives (HDDs) results in their servo systems having irregular sampling rates (ISRs).With the natural periodicity ofHDDs, which is related to the disk rotation, HDD servo systems with ISRs can be modeled as linear periodically time-varying systems. Based on our previous results, an explicit minimum entropy controller for HDD servos with IS...

This paper discusses optimal H∞ control synthesis via discrete Riccati equations for discrete linear periodically timevarying (LPTV) systems. Based on the results presented in [1], an explicit minimum entropy H∞ controller for general time-varying systems is obtained. The control synthesis technique is subsequently applied to LPTV systems and it is shown that the resulting controllers are also ...
متن کاملMultiple robust track-following controller design in hard disk drives
This paper presents a new technique for track-following control in hard disk drives, in order to achieve high tracking precision of magnetic read–write heads uniformly for a huge number of disk drives. The basic idea in this technique is to classify the disk drives into several sets depending on dynamics properties, and to apply a robust controller to each set. The problem of designing the opti...
متن کاملProbabilistic Robust Approach for Discrete Multi-Objective Control of Track-Following Servo Systems in Hard Disk Drives
This paper deals with the problem of different uncertainties in discrete time track following control of read/write head in hard disk drives (HDD). A multi-objective robust controller is designed which minimizes the worst case root mean square (RMS) value of the positioning error signal (PES) subject to the closed-loop stability in the presence of parametric and dynamic uncertainties. A sequent...
