Gantry crane control: A simulation case study

TLDR
A simulation teaching experiment to control a gantry crane system is proposed, using a Posicast feedforward technique to enhance the setpoint tracking response and a PID controller is used in the feedback loop to deal with disturbance rejection.
Abstract
A simulation teaching experiment to control a gantry crane system is proposed. The control is performed both in open-loop and closed-loop. The open-loop control is based on the Posicast feedforward technique and the closed-loop control uses a two-degrees of freedom configuration. Posicast control is used as a pre-filter outside the feedback loop to enhance the setpoint tracking response and a PID controller is used in the feedback loop to deal with disturbance rejection. Students are required to use a gantry crane animation, to visualize its movement promoting a better perception and control techniques understanding. The experiment was performed by undergraduate feedback control students which provided learning results through a survey questionnaire.

Analog study of dead-beat posicast control

TL;DR: In this article, a posicast method was proposed to eliminate the oscillations and overshoot in a lightly damped servomechanism in a time of considerably less than one cycle of the uncompensated oscillation.
