A Unified Approach to Two-Time-Scale Control Systems Design: A Tutorial

2005

The goal of the tutorial is to give an overview of the newest unified design methodology of continuous-time or discrete-time nonlinear control systems which guarantees desired transient performances in the presence of plant parameter variations and unknown external disturbances. The tutorial presents the up-to-date coverage of fundamental issues and recent research developments in design of nonlinear control systems with the highest derivative in feedback. The discussed design methodology allows us to provide effective control of nonlinear systems on the assumption of uncertainty. The approach is based on an application of a dynamical control law with the highest derivative of the output signal in the feedback loop. A distinctive feature of the control systems thus designed is that two-time-scale motions are forced in the closed-loop system. Stability conditions imposed on the fast and slow modes, and a sufficiently large mode separation rate, can ensure that the full-order closed-loop system achieves desired properties: the output transient performances are as desired, and they are insensitive to parameter variations and external disturbances. A general design methodology for control systems with the highest derivative in feedback for continuous-time systems, as well as corresponding discrete-time counterpart, will be presented during this tutorial. The method of singular perturbation is used to analyze the closed-loop system properties throughout.

Design and Performance Analysis of Digital Controllers in Discrete and Continuous Time Domains for a Robot Control System

Global Journal of Research In Engineering, 2018

—This paper presents design approach and performance analysis of different types of digital compensators for a robot arm joint control system which involves a sensor feedback. The design procedure incorporates discrete (z-plane) and continuous time (warped s-plane or w-plane) domain parameters. The design techniques of frequency response characteristics have been investigated and four basic types of controllers-phase-lag, phase-lead, proportional-integral (PI) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) have been designed and simulated on MATLAB. All the controllers have been implemented to achieve a phase margin of 40 deg. and open loop bode plots and closed loop step responses have been evaluated. Comparison among the controllers on the basis of step response characteristics has been presented in this paper.
