This paper proposes a servo control system based on a minimal-order state observer for nonlinear systems approximated by piecewise bilinear (PB) models. The design method is capable of designing the state observer and the servo controller of nonlinear systems separately. The approximated system is found to be fully parametric. The input-output (I/O) feedback linearization is applied to stabiliz...

We consider in this paper the design and implementation of a dual-stage actuated hard disk drive (HDD) servo system, in which an additional piezoelectric actuator is mounted on top of the conventional voice-coil-motor (VCM) actuator to provide a faster and finer response. More specifically, the dual-stage actuated HDD servo system consists of a primary VCM actuator and a secondary suspension pi...

Permanent Magnet Synchronous motor (PMSM) has received widespread acceptance in recent years. In this paper, a new rotor and stator Magnetic Fields Direct-Orthogonalized Vector Control (MFDOVC) scheme is proposed for PMSM servo system. This method simplified the complex calculation of traditional vector control, a part of the system resource is economized. At the same time, through the simulati...

The precision stage is an essential device for optic fiber assembly systems, micro machines and semiconductor equipments. A new piezoelectric inchworm type actuator is proposed to implement an actuator-integrated long-stroke linear stage. An in-and-quadrature phase (I/Q) heterodyne interferometer is developed as a feedback sensor of a servo system, and a synchronized counting method is proposed...

This paper proposes a new approach to disturbance estimation based on a curvature model to improve the disturbance rejection performance of a servo system. The main feature is that the stability of the control system is guaranteed when the disturbance estimation is incorporated directly into the designed control law. Simulation results show that disturbances are rejected efficiently when this a...

This paper deals with the development of different control techniques such as Fuzzy, Sliding mode, and Sliding Mode fuzzy controllers for the servo drive system. Servomotors are widely used in industry due to their relatively low cost and high reliability. To get high performances we have to control the input variable in uncertainties and disturbance. Two cases are discussed for each control sc...

Hydraulic differential electric servo cylinders are electromechanical tools applicable for driving e.g. manipulators. Actual models are strongly nonlinear, coupled systems of differential equations. In the present paper we propose a new model using fuzzy differential equations under strongly generalized differentiability concept. The key point is a continuous fuzzyfication of the signum functio...

Renewable energy has known a great interest during the last two decades. Solar energy is viewed as the cleanest renewable source of energy for the future since it is the least polluting and the most inexhaustible of all known energy sources. Subsequently, technologies that enable the use of solar energy focus on solar thermal collectors and on the photovoltaic effect of semiconductors to genera...

A fractional-order control strategy for pneumatic position servosystem is presented in this paper. The idea of the fractional calculus application to control theorywas introduced inmanyworks, and its advantages were proved. However, the realization of fractional-order controllers for pneumatic position servosystems has not been investigated. Based on the relationship between the pressure in cyl...
