Abstract
Magnetic levitation system (MLS) is a nonlinear system that attracts the attention of many researchers, especially control engineers. It has wide range of application such as robotics, high-speed transportation, and many more. Unfortunately, it is not a simple task to control it. Here, we utilize state feedback controller with Linear-Quadratic Regulator (LQR) to regulate the position of a steel-ball in MLS. In addition, we also introduce the precompensator to nullify the steady-state errors. The linearized model, controller, and precompensator are simulated using Matlab. The results and simulation verify that the state feedback controller and precompensator succeed to stabilize the position of steel-ball at the equilibrium for 0.1766 seconds and no steady-state errors.
