This paper presents the application of adaptive phase-locked loop (adaptive PLL) technique to control the process variable of the process control system. The adaptive algorithm is related to the error. When the error of the system is changed, the adaptive gain will be directly changed according to the error. If the value of the adaptive gain is large, the value of the error will be large. In this experiment, the reference input is 50% step input. The experimental result in controlling the first order lag process by the adaptive PLL shows that the response of the controlled system has no overshoot, short rise time, and zero steady-state error. The experimental result also shows that when the output disturbance enters to the process control system, the adaptive PLL can maintain the stability of the system and the effect of the output disturbance can also be fast rejected. The adaptive PLL has better performance ...

In this paper, an intelligent adaptive controller is proposed for the process with unmodelled dynamics. The intelligent adaptive controller consists of the numeric adaptive controller and the intelligent tuning part. The continuous scheme is used for the numeric adaptive controller to avoid the problems occurred in the discrete time schemes. The adaptive controller is adopted to the process with time delay. It is an implicit adaptive algorithm based on GMV using the emulator. The tuning part changes the design parameters in the control algorithm. It is a multilayer neural network trained by robustness analysis data. The proposed method can improve the robustness of the adaptive control system because the design parameters are tuned according to the operating points of the process. Through the simulation, robustnesses are shown for intelligent adaptive controller. Finally, the proposed algorithms are implemented on the electric furnace temperature control system. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is shown from experiments.

An adaptive predictive control for steam-reforming plant which consist of a steam-gas reformer and a waste heat steam-boiler was studied by using MIMO bilinear model. The simulation experiments of the process identification were performed by using linear and bilinear models. From the simulation results it was found that the bilinear model represented the dynamic behavior of a steam-reforming plant very well. ARMA model was used in the process identification and the adaptive predictive control. To verify the performance and effectiveness of the adaptive predictive controller proposed in this study the simulation results of steam-reforming plant control based on bilinear model were compared to those of linear model. The simulation results showed that the adaptive predictive controller based on bilinear model provides better performance than those of linear model.

New design methods for constructing nonlinear adaptive control system are considered. The proposed adaptive controllers are applicable to the case where the degree of the controlled process is unknown. It is shown that the degree of the controller is determined independently of the degree of the process. Several types of nonlinear functions are introduced to deal with uncertainties of the degree of the process. Finally, some simulation results show the effectiveness and simplicity of the proposed methods.

Significant portion of the total manufacturing time for a pipe fabrication process is spent on the welding following primary machining and fit-up processes. To achieve a reliable weld bead appearance, automatic seam tracking and adaptive control to fill the groove are urgently needed. For the seam tracking in welding processes, the vision sensors have been successfully applied. However, the adaptive filling control of the multi-torches system for the appropriate welded area has not been implemented in the area of SAW(submerged arc welding) by now. The term adaptive control is often used to describe recent advances in welding process control by strictly this only applies to a system which is able to cope with dynamic changes in system performance. In welding applications, the term adaptive control may not imply the conventional control theory definition but may be used in the more descriptive sense to explain the need for the process to adapt to the changing welding conditions. This paper proposed various types of methodologies for obtaining a good bead appearance based on multi-torches welding system with the vision system in SAW. The methodologies for adaptive filling control used welding current/voltage, arc voltage/welding current/wire feed speed combination and welding speed by using vision sensor. It was shown that the algorithm for welding current/voltage combination and welding speed revealed sound weld bead appearance compared with that of voltage/current combination.

Conventionally, model equation for cutting process has been used at adaptive control. But in this paper, the cutting force is discerned by piezo electric dynamometer and is controlled adaptively using fuzzy inferance so that the constant load feeding is possible. Main conclusions are as follows : (1) with proper design of fuzzy label, more active cutting force control is possible. (2) adaptive control is possible with only qualitative knowledge instead of model equation of cutting process.

Many automotive companies are endeavoring to improve the quality of resistance spot welding by updating body-in-white (BIW) production line with adaptive control spot welding system to compensate the process disturbances such as gap, electrode wear, oxidized surfaces, poor fit up and adhesive etc. Most of the commercial adaptive weld controllers require proper "Initial Welding Schedule" or "Reference weld" to achieve compensation in welding parameters during real time welding. In this study, the compensation of a commercial adaptive weld controller had been observed and analyzed thoroughly for various process disturbances to find optimal initial welding schedule. It was observed that 90 percent of the expulsion current in constant current control as reference welding schedule conferred the maximum button diameter in adaptive control welding. Finally, effects of each disturbance in combined field disturbances system with adaptive control had also been confirmed with the design of experiment (DOE) by minitab(R)16 for combined disturbances situation and suitability of optimum initial weld current had also established with real body part validation test.

This paper presents an adaptive cutting force controller for milling process, which can be attached to most commercial CNC machining centers in a practical way. The cutting forces of X,Y and Z axes measured indirectly from the use of currents drawn by AC feed-drive servo motors. A typical model for the feed-drive control system of a horizontal machining center is developed to analyze cutting force measurement from the drive motor. The pulsating milling forces can be measured indirectly within the bandwidth of the current feedback control loop of the feed-drive system. It is shown that indirectly measured cutting force signals can be used in the adaptive controller for cutting force regulation. The robust controller structure is adopted in the whole adaptive control scheme. The conditions under which the whole scheme is globally convergent and stable are presented. The suggested control scheme has been implemented into a commercial machining center, and a series of cutting experiments on end milling and face milling processes are performed. The adaptive controller reveals reliable cutting force regulating capability under various cutting conditions.

This paper describes tbe design and implementation of the adaptive controller to maintain the glood weld quality in gas metal arc welding process. The weld torch travel speed and the surface temperature are taken, respectively, as an input and an output of the welding control system. Because of the very complex phenomena of the process, the input-output dynamic model was experimentally identified by AIC (Akiake Information Criterion). Based on the model structure, the explicit model reference adaptive controller is simulated in order to regulate the output tempernture to the desired level.
