Hydraulic motion control is traditionally done with servo or proportional valves. A digital hydraulic valve is based on arrays of simple on/off valves. Independent metering control is possible with digital valves since control notches are not linked together. With commonly used commercial proportional valves constant opening ratios are used. In this paper, a small mobile boom is studied. The lift and tilt cylinders can be controlled with proportional or digital valves. Closed loop control system is based on a robust control method of a multi actuator boom and also inverse kinematic equations are required in coordinate drive. The supply system consists of a Digital Hydraulic Power Management System (DHPMS) which is capable of supplying separate supply pressures for both actuator supply lines. Measurements are done, and one vs. two supply pressures and digital vs. proportional valves are compared. Two different test trajectories and two different load masses are used. Analysis focuses on the energy consumption of different test cases and sources of losses are inspected. Results show that energy consumption can be reduced up to 44%.

This article studies a digital hydraulic servo drive driven by a variable speed electric servomotor. Digital displacement control is implemented by using a two-port digital hydraulic power management system having six pistons and 18 on/off control valves. The first port of the digital hydraulic power management system controls the cylinder speed, while the second port is connected to a hydraulic accumulator. The peak power is taken from the accumulator, and the electric servomotor supplies only the average power into the system. An experimentally validated simulation model is used, and the results show a combination of adequate controllability and excellent energy efficiency. The estimated reduction in the size of the electric motor is 57%.

Combining with some fuzzy of the direct torque control and the fuzzy control which is often used in the traditional AC motor control,we put forward a direct torque control theory based on the fuzzy rule. The brushless doubly-fed machine(BDFM) closed-loop control system with the direct torque control based on the fuzzy rule is simulated by using of the Matlab/Simulink software, and the simulation results show that the closed-loop control method is correct and effective.

This paper presents a lumped perturbation observer-based robust control method using an extended multiple sliding surface for a system with matched and unmatched uncertainties. The fundamental methodology is to apply the multiple surfaces to approximate the unknown lumped perturbations simultaneously influencing on a nonlinear single input–single output (SISO) system. Subsequently, a robust controller, based on the proposed multi-surface and the approximated values, is designed to highly improve the control performance of the system. A general stability of the lumped perturbation observer and closed-loop control system is obtained through the Lyapunov theory. Results of a numerical simulation of an illustrative example demonstrate the soundness of the proposed algorithm.

In order to improve the dynamic servo performance of PMLSM, a classical direct torque control (DTC) scheme based on bang-bang control is proposed in the paper. The proposed control method uses the bang-bang hysteresis controller formed a dual-closed loop control system, it contains torque loop and flux loop. The DTC control model was established and the simulation experiment was made. The simulation experiment results show that the DTC can improve the dynamic performance of PMLSM. It can reduce the ripples of speed and torque, so that it can provide more precision and accuracy servo performance.

The Digital Hydraulic Power Management System (DHPMS) is a solution based on the digital pump-motor technology and has shown to be a promising approach to improve the energy efficiency of hydraulic systems. The DHPMS is controlled by active on/off valves, but unlike the digital pump-motors the DHPMS has multiple independent outlets; hence, the DHPMS can operate also as a transformer. In this experimental study, a proportional control of a mobile boom is compared with a displacement control when a six-piston DHPMS is used. In the proportional control, the system pressure is controlled by the DHPMS and a lift cylinder with a proportional valve. In the displacement control, the cylinder fluid volumes are controlled directly using the DHPMS. Firstly, the systems under study are presented along with the control methods. Then the control performance of the DHPMS is studied and finally, the energy losses in the systems are analysed. The results show the versatility of the DHPMS; it is capable of fast and accurate pressure control but also handles the direct flow control. According to the measurements, the losses are significantly smaller in the displacement controlled system thanks to the minimised throttling losses and the energy recovery. Nevertheless, the energy losses in the prototype DHPMS are rather high due to the leakage in the control valves and their low flow capacity, and therefore improvements in the design are needed.

This paper proposes an adaptive barrier controller for servomechanisms with friction compensation. A modified LuGre model is used to capture friction dynamics of servomechanisms. This model is incorporated into an augmented neural network (NN) to account for the unknown nonlinearities. Moreover, a barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is utilized to each step in a backstepping design procedure. Then, a novel adaptive control method is well suggested to ensure that the full-state constraints are within the given boundary. The stability of the closed-loop control system is proved using Lyapunov stability theory. Comparative experiments on a turntable servomechanism confirm the effectiveness of the devised control method.

The double closed-loop control system of current source SPWM inverter (CSI) is designed to meet the need of battery pack testing system. The battery pack has tiny inner resistance, back electromotive force and it acted as a comparative load which made the control system hard to design. The control system aimed at the specialty of the battery pack load and put forward a loop-locked control method based on dq coordinate conversion of CSI. Typical I and II control system is adopted to get a better performance. It increases the transform efficiency by SPWM and gets high power factor and high dynamic response quality by dq coordinate conversion. Simulations and tests proved the correctness and feasibility of the control system.
