Tangible Programming

Programming control in industrial design is by its nature expert upon an example being Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Such programmes are unsuitable for children or novices as they cannot understand how to use the programme. This research seeks to present tangible programming for a basic control system in new frameworks in engineering education for children. Such programmes could be for use in kindergartens, primary schools or general teaching where knowledge about basic control is required. Normally open-loop and closed-loop control system programming is taught at university and college level. This may be late as far as acquiring knowledge of basic control systems is concerned. Using tangible programming without a computer but instructions and interface, relay and motor could result in children in kindergartens and primary schools being able to programme open-looped control systems which mix chemicals or closed-loop control systems which control conveyor belts. However, the children would not be able to undertake programming using programmable control in a similar scenario.

Composition Changes

The dynamic behavior of a solid oxide fuel cell gas turbine hybrid system (SOFC/GT) from both open and closed loop transients in response to sudden changes in fuel composition was experimentally investigated. A pilot-scale (200–700 kW) hybrid facility available at the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory was used to perform the experiments using a combination of numerical models and actual equipment. In the open loop configuration, the turbine speed was driven by the thermal effluent fed into the gas turbine system, where the thermal effluent was determined by the feedforward fuel cell control system. However, in the closed loop configuration, a load-based speed control system was used to maintain the turbine speed constant at 40,500 rpm by adjusting the load on the turbine, in addition to the implementation of the fuel cell system control. The open loop transient response showed that the impacts of fuel composition changes on key process variables, such as fuel cell thermal effluent, turbine speed, and cathode feed stream conditions, in the SOFC/GT systems were propagated over the course of the test, except for the cathode inlet temperature. The trajectories of the aforementioned variables are discussed in this paper to better understand the resulting mitigation/propagation behaviors. This will help lead to the development of novel control strategies to mitigate the negative impacts experienced during fuel composition transients of SOFC/GT systems.

Control System Synthesis

A correlation equation is established between open-loop test data and the desired closed-loop system characteristics permitting control system synthesis to be done on the basis of a numerical approach using experimental data. The method is applicable when the system is linear-time-invariant and open-loop stable. The major merits of the algorithm are two-fold: 1) Arbitrary placement of the closed-loop system equation is possible, and 2) explicit knowledge of an open-loop system model is not needed for the controller synthesis.

Process Disturbances

This study examines the robustness of stamp forming tooling. An oval pan was formed using tooling that included a flexible blank holder, active draw beads, and closed-loop control of both wrinkling and local punch forces. The results were compared to open-loop tests using the same tooling and earlier work that utilized tooling that produced similar pans but included a rigid blank holder. For the current study, robustness was defined as the ability to delay wrinkling or tearing. A description of the tooling design process is provided as well as a synopsis of the development of the control system for the tooling. Open-loop and closed-control tests using AL 6111-T4 blanks were performed in order to evaluate the ability to reject process disturbances and demonstrate improved robustness of the tooling. During open-loop tests, the current tooling was shown to be more robust than the earlier tooling with the rigid blank holder. Control of wrinkling eliminated one form of part failure while closed-loop control of local punch forces significantly improved the robustness of the tooling by delaying tearing.

Loop Motion

This paper presents a Field Programmable Gate Array based closed-loop motion control system for stepper motors. It consists of three components, including closed-loop control unit, driving unit and feedback unit. To overcome some of the drawbacks with an open-loop stepper motor motion control system or a conventional servo system, a self adaptive algorithm is proposed. By detecting the difference between the command and feedback signals, measures are taken prior to the occurrence of loss synchronization. All of the control logic is implemented in one FPGA chip. Simulation and testing results are presented at the end of this paper.
