In this paper, a controller with monitoring functions is proposed for controlling temperature of an electric furnace system. The controller includes holding and ramp control functions, and the control program for the temperature process monitor of the electric furnace. For this purpose, the implementation and performance of auto tuning algorithms in a computer¬based controller is studied in relation to control of a nonlinear electric furnace system which is characterized with large time delay. The communicator of a control and detection signals, between the controller and the electric furnace is implemented by an I/O data card. Experiments for the practical electric furnace are performed to illustrate the performance of the proposed controller.

From the viewpoint of the cost effective design of power conversion systems, it is very important to fully u utilize the CillTent capacity of power devices over all circumstances. Therefore this paper deals with the l practical design of digital CillTent controller to meet the requirements of fast and overshoot free control r response over the varying control voltage bOlmds, the accompanied computational delay, and the system U W1certainties. The proposed controller consists of high gain PI control schemes using both the conditional i integrator and the modified delay compensator. The simulation and experimental results show the validity of t the proposed controller.

A fuzzy controller designed by mini-max-gravity(MMG) method is essentially nonlinear with respect to the controller's input and output relationship, and stability analysis is thus needed to construct a stable control system. This paper deals with a design method of a position-type MMG fuzzy controller stable in a sense of Lyapunov when considered is a single-input-single-output linear, stable plant. We first introduce a method to construct a Laypunov function by using an eigen-value of A matrix of the linear, stable plant dynamics and then we derive an asymtotic stability condition in terms of scale factors for fuzzy state variables and controller gain. The stability condition is found reasonably practical through comparing the theoretical stability region with that obtained from simulations.

Repetitive and proportional-resonant controllers can effectively reject grid harmonics in grid-connected inverters because of their high gains at the fundamental frequency and the corresponding harmonics. However, the performances of these controllers can seriously deteriorate if the grid frequency deviates from its nominal value. Non-ideal proportional-resonant controllers provide better immunity to variations in grid frequency by widening resonant peaks at the expense of reducing the gains of the peaks, which reduces the effectiveness of the controller. This paper proposes a repetitive control scheme for grid-connected inverters that can track changes in grid frequencies and keep resonant peaks lined up with grid frequency harmonics. The proposed controller is implemented using a digital signal processor. Simulation and practical results are presented to demonstrate the controller capabilities. Results show that the performance of the proposed controller is superior to that of a proportional-resonant controller.

This paper describes the design principle of a fuzzy PID controller with fixed parameters, proposes the simulified form of a fuzzy PID controller to increase the computational efficiency and analyzes stability of a proposed fuzzy PID controller. After a detailed stability analysis using ‘small gain theorem’, a simple and practical sufficient condition for the BIBO stability of the overall feedback control system is derived. The derived stability condition offers a calculation method to obtain parameters of a fuzzy PID controller from parameters of a stable PID controller. Finally several computer simulations are executed to confirm the effectiveness of the fuzzy PID controller with fixed parameters.

The purpose of this paper is to design and construct the compact type joint driver and controller of the biped robot. This biped robot will be designed to be suitable for the practical usages and applications in the work environment, which is not plat floor, like a stairs by taking the stand-alone style that equipped all the parts except power sources. Generally, highly nonlinear motion dynamics of the biped robot is realized to linear approximations by installing a high-ratio speed reducer at each joint and dividing motions into a several piecewise linear motions, which is realized by the digital controller design techniques. This biped robot has symmetrical structure to get the stable walking ability and also the hierachical structure to control each joint as well. That is, all of the joint controllers are connected to the main controller in the composition of overall controllers. The driver and controller of each joint uses PI controller that compensate the velocity and position errors by the data of the encoder. And the signal characteristics of each joint controller forms a trapezoid speed profile which is predefined by the values of direction, maximum velocity and position.

The practical control problems for the lime-delay system is considered. The delay-free characteristics of the Smith Predictor is available only when both the process and it's model are exactly matched. So it does not used widely in practical industrial processes. In this paper, using the 2nd-order plus dead time model in place of the plant model of the Smith Predictor, the proposed controller shows the improved performance in case of the very long time delay. And the range of integral constant of the PI controller is also proposed.

VSS controller is suited for systems where the robust performances in the presence of parameter variations and disturbances are most important. The practical realization of such robust VSS algorithm using DSP ($TMS_{32020}$) is dicussed in this paper. PWH-like control signal which is produced by directly using VSS control algorithm substitutes the PWM amplifier. And the armature current is used in construction of switching function for the purpose of increasing switching frequency. In order to compensate steady state error produced by various external disturbances practical integral compensator is considered.

In this paper, we present implementation of backward movement control of truck-trailer vehicles using a fuzzy mode-based control scheme considering practical constraints and computational overhead. We propose a fuzzy feedback controller where output is predicted with the delay of a unit sampling period. Analysis and design of the proposed controller is very easy, because it is synchronized with sampling time. Stability analysis is also possible when quantization exists in the implementation of fuzzy control architectures, and we show that if the trivial solution of the fuzzy control system without quantization is asymptotically stable, then the solutions of the fuzzy control system with quantization are uniformly ultimately bounded. Experimental results using a toy truck show that the proposed control system outperforms a conventional system.
