The paper describes the design, development, testing and use of a microcontroller- and PC-based control system which was used to repair and enhance an ASEA IRB6 welding robot in the authors' laboratory. The principles described could be applied to any robot of similar age and to provide a low-cost route to revitalise any working robot hardware that is limited by an outdated control system. The proposed approach addresses a problem within many manufacturing systems operating in industry.

The welding robot system designed in this paper is helpful to realize welding automation. The closed loop control system and algorithm of arc rotating speed have been designed, so arc rotating speed was stabilized near the set value and the tracking accuracy of fillet weld has been improved by the rotating arc sensor. A data acquisition system and a motion control system have been designed based on multi-sensor technology. The mapping relationship between the features in the welding seam image and the pose of the welding gun was established, so as to realize the identification of the pose of the welding gun based on three-wire laser vision sensing technology. The effect of wire extension, welding currents and welding voltages on the current waveform was investigated based on the rotating arc sensor. By using the designed system and algorithm, the welding deviations recognition experiment, the arc rotating speed control experiment and the tracking experiment of the right-angle welding seam have been carried out. The experimental results showed that the welding deviations were located within [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm, and the welding robot can track the complex welding seam accurately and reliably.

This chapter deals with the control system design problem for automated machine systems from the viewpoint of a discrete event system approach. Behaviors of automated systems have externally the features of discrete event asynchronous, concurrent processes, which implies the necessity of distributed architecture for intelligent cooperative control. Based on the generalization of multi-axis machine activities, the detailed control functions of a machine task are hierarchically represented by an interpreted form of the Petri net. The necessary control conditions and rules to ensure that the control system is well-defined, including synchronization and conflict resolution, are provided as a conceptual model of machine task. Due to hierarchical decomposition of Petri net models, the structure of the whole control system as well as the contents of each machine task is easily understood so that the task planning, monitoring, and modification of the control system can be done effectively.

Abstract Under the background of developing the advanced infrared camouflage technology, a novel idea of infrared regulation based on cooperative control of emissivity and temperature was proposed. Combining the traditional temperature calculation model, the infrared characteristic calculation model and the proportional-integral-differential (PID) control strategy, the corresponding adaptive infrared control system model was designed. By integrating the electrochromic material with the thin film resistor, the theoretical feasibility of the infrared control system was verified by the principle prototype. On this basis, the models of space target and its profiling decoy were established, and the infrared camouflage characteristics of profiling decoy in 3-5µm band and 8-14µm band were studied respectively. The results show that the profiling decoy with cooperative control of emissivity and temperature can achieve better infrared control effect than that of ordinary temperature control. The cooperative control system can effectively reduce the overshoot of radiation and has the ability of fast response, high control precision and control stability.
