Development of a PWM controller for the pneumatic actuation system

공압구동장치를 위한 PWM 제어기 설계

This paper describes the design and development of a PWM electronic controller for a high performance Pneumatic Actuation System. The task includes the design of a closed center valve circuit for minimum gas consumption, the selection of optimum values for key parameters in the PWM circuit, and the design of lag-lead compensation circuit. These were carried out through specific experiments using a prototype pneumatic actuation system. The final performance obtained with the actuation system confirmed the successful design of the developed PWM electronic controller.
