Decoupled load swing control of an overhead crane using Arduino controller

The development of combination of proportional-integral-derivative and proportional- derivative (PID-PD) controller for overhead crane is presented. Due to the pendulum-like settings, the swinging of load has caused many difficulties while operating the overhead crane. Swinging of the load causes unnecessary tension to the cable and structure of the overhead crane, which will compromise the safety of operator and other workers. Overhead cranes should have the ability to move the load to desired point as fast as possible while minimizing the load swing and maintaining the accuracy. Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is used for overhead crane positioning and proportional-derivative (PD) controller for load oscillation. New time-domain performance criterion function is used in particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for the tuning of the PID-PD controller rather than the general performance criteria using error of the system. This performance criterion function monitors the performance in terms of rise time, overshoot, settling time and steady state error of the overhead crane system. The performance of the optimised PID-PD controller is verified with simulation in MATLAB. The PSO optimized PID-PD controllers with new performance criterion are shown effective in improving the step response of the overhead crane position as well as controlled the load oscillation.

Varying Mass

This study considers a fuzzy logic-based reasoning approach for control and optimising performance of overhead gantry crane. The objective of this study is to minimise load swing and to stabilise the crane in the least possible time. The fuzzy controllers were designed using nine Gaussian and triangular shape membership functions. The results clearly confirmed the effect of shape of memberships on performance of fuzzy controllers. Performance of overhead crane was measured in terms of settling time and overshoot ranges. The study also demonstrates the influence of varying mass of the load, mass of crane, and length of crane bar on stability of the crane. A mathematical model of the crane system has been derived to develop a simulink model of proposed system and performing simulations.

Two Degree Of Freedom

In this paper, a new dynamic model of a three-dimensional overhead crane is derived based on a newly defined two-degree-of-freedom swing angle. The dynamic model describes the simultaneous traveling, traversing, and hoisting motions of the crane and the resulting load swing. For anti-swing control, this paper proposes a decoupled control scheme based on the dynamic model linearized around the stable equilibrium. The decoupled scheme guarantees not only rapid damping of load swing but also accurate control of crane position and load hoisting for the practical case of simultaneous traveling, traversing, and slow hoisting motions, which is also proven by experiments.
