The speed regulation problem for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) servo system is studied in this paper. In order to optimize the control performance of the PMSM servo system, the predictive functional control (PFC) method is introduced in the control design of speed loop. The PFC-based speed control design consists of two steps. A simplified model is employed to predict the future q -axis current of PMSM. Then, an optimal control law is obtained by minimizing a quadratic performance index. However, it is noted that the standard PFC method does not achieve a satisfying effect in the presence of strong disturbances. To this end, an improved PFC method, called the PFC+ESO method, is developed. It introduces extended state observer (ESO) to estimate the lumped disturbances and adds a feedforward compensation item based on the estimated disturbances to the PFC speed controller. Simulation and experiment comparisons are made for these PFC methods and proportional-integral method with antiwindup control method to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Speed Control for PMSM Servo System Using Predictive Functional Control and Extended State Observer

A highly robust automatic disturbances rejection controller (ADRC) is developed to implement high-precision motion control of permanent-magnet synchronous motors. The proposed ADRC consists of a tracking differentiator (TD) in the feedforward path, an extended state observer (ESO), and a nonlinear proportional derivative control in the feedback path. The TD solves the difficulties posed by low-order reference trajectories which are quantized at the sensor resolution, and the ESO provides the estimate of the unmeasured system's state and the real action of the unknown disturbances only based on a measurement output of the system. Simulations and experimental results show that the proposed ADRC achieves a better position response and is robust to parameter variation and load disturbance. Furthermore, the ADRC is designed directly in discrete time with a simple structure and fast computation, which make it widely applicable to all other types of derives.

Automatic disturbances rejection controller for precise motion control of permanent-magnet synchronous motors

In this paper an adaptive second order terminal sliding mode (SOTSM) controller is proposed for controlling robotic manipulators. Instead of the normal control input, its time derivative is used in the proposed controller. The discontinuous sign function is contained in the derivative control and the actual control obtained after integration is continuous and hence chatterless. An adaptive tuning method is utilized to deal with the system uncertainties whose upper bounds are not required to be known in advance. The performance of the proposed control strategy is evaluated through the control of a two-link rigid robotic manipulator. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

In this article, in order to optimize the dynamic performance of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) speed regulation system, a nonlinear speed-control algorithm for the PMSM control systems using sliding-mode control is developed. First, a sliding-mode control method based on a new sliding-mode reaching law (NSMRL) is proposed. This NSMRL includes the system state variable and the power term of sliding surface function. In particular, the power term is bounded by the absolute value of the switching function, so that the reaching law can be expressed in two different forms during the reaching process. This method can not only effectively suppress the inherent chattering, but also increases the velocity of the system state reaching to the sliding-mode surface. Based on this new reaching law, a sliding-mode speed controller (SMSC) of PMSM is designed. Then, considering the large chattering phenomenon caused by high switching gain, an improved antidisturbance sliding-mode speed controller method, called SMSC + ESO method, is developed. This method introduces an extended state observer to observe the lumped disturbance and adds a feedforward compensation item based on the observed disturbances to the SMSC. Finally, simulation and experimental results both show the validity of the proposed control method.

A New Reaching Law for Antidisturbance Sliding-Mode Control of PMSM Speed Regulation System

In this paper, the modeling of steer-by-wire (SbW) systems is further studied, and a sliding mode control scheme for the SbW systems with uncertain dynamics is developed. It is shown that an SbW system, from the steering motor to the steered front wheels, is equivalent to a second-order system. A sliding mode controller can then be designed based on the bound information of uncertain system parameters, uncertain self-aligning torque, and uncertain torque pulsation disturbances, in the sense that not only the strong robustness with respect to large and nonlinear system uncertainties can be obtained but also the front-wheel steering angle can converge to the handwheel reference angle asymptotically. Both the simulation and experimental results are presented in support of the excellent performance and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

This paper proposes a particular motor position control drive design via a novel sliding-mode controller. The newly designed controller is especially suitable for the motor incremental motion control which is specified by a trapezoidal velocity profile. The novel sliding-mode controller is designed in accordance with the trapezoidal velocity profile to guarantee the desired performance. A motor control system associated PC-based incremental motion controller with permanent-magnet synchronous motor is built to verify the control effect. The validity of the novel incremental motion controller with sliding-mode control method is demonstrated by simulation and experimental results.

A robust controller which is designed by employing variable-structure control and linear-quadratic method is presented for a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) position control system. It is to achieve accurate control performance in the presence of plant parameter variation and load disturbance. In addition, it possesses the design flexibility of the conventional state feedback control. It is applied to the position control of a PMSM. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed approach gives a better position response and is robust to parameter variations and load disturbance.

This paper solves a particular incremental motion control problem, which is specified by the trapezoidal velocity profile, using multisegment sliding mode control. Each segment of the multisegment switching surfaces is designed to match the corresponding part of the trapezoidal velocity profile, so that the motor dynamics on the specified-segment switching surface have the desired velocity or acceleration corresponding to the trapezoidal profile. The multisegment sliding mode control is applied to a synchronous reluctance motor system to demonstrate its effectiveness. A PC-based prototype system is built to verify the validity of the proposed scheme.
