Abstract: | In this paper, robust position control of a direct drive using a state space model predictive control (MPC) algorithm is presented. The proposed controller consists of a state feedback regulator and a feedforward controller. Their gains are obtained by minimizing a cost function that is a sum of the position tracking errors and the control cost over some user defined time horizons. The effects of the controller parameters on the dynamic performance and the robustness of the direct drive are investigated. To provide good estimates of the state variables in the presence of load disturbance, a new observer based on the receding horizon concept is also formulated. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach |
