Abstract

The non-rail mobile rack, which is used for cargo storage, can improve the storage capacities of logistics centers. Furthermore, it has the advantage that it can be used in traditional logistics centers without making any changes or renovation, such as installing rails. However, when the rack is operated by separated drive actuators mounted on the left and the right wheels, precise position control of the wheels is necessary even if the unbalanced cargo weight on the rack would affect the control. Therefore, internal synchronization control for position tracking between the left and right wheels on the non-rail mobile rack is necessary in this study. In addition, external synchronization control for realizing the same straight movements between mobile racks is necessary. For the internal and the external synchronization control, we propose a synchronization control algorithm based on the repetitive control theory. An internal synchronization control algorithm with repetitive control theory requires the application of the robust servo control method owing to parameter variations. In this case, we can set up the gains for the robust servo control system by considering the cargo variations on the mobile rack. Furthermore, for developing the external synchronization control algorithm, we use a double repetitive control system to perform synchronization control between mobile racks. The efficiency of the proposed control algorithm will be verified by simulation and experimental results. The proposed algorithm can be easily applied in the industry.

무궤도 이동랙은 물류센터에서 보관공간효율화를 위해 이용되고 있으며, 궤도가 없이 움직일 수 있는 특징으로 인하여 종래 물류센터에서 레일을 추가하는 등의 바닥공사 없이 용이하게 설치할 수 있다는 장점을 지니고 있다. 그러나 본 이동랙은 왼쪽과 오른쪽 구동부가 별도로 설치되어 있어 독립적으로 동기화 제어를 해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 특히, 화물의 불균형성이 제어 성능에 크게 영향을 미치므로, 강인한 제어기를 기반으로 한 동기화제어가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 파라미터 변동에 대하여 강인한 강인서보계를 구성하였으며, 내부 및 외부의 동기화제어를 위하여 반복제어기법을 이용한 동기화 제어알고리즘을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 강인서보계 및 반복제어계의 유효성을 보였으며, 실험에서는 동기화제어기법을 통한 제어의 유효성을 고찰하였다.
