Modern control techniques of electrical drives (EDs) use robust control algorithms. One of such algorithms is variable structure control (VSC) with sliding mode (SM). SM control needs more information on the controlled plant than the conventional PI(D) control. Valid mathematical model of the controlled plant is necessary for the SM controller design. Generalized mathematical model of two-phase electrical machine and its adaptation to direct current (DC) and induction motor (IM) are given in this paper, employed in the cascade control structure. Also, the basic SM control theory and discrete-time controller design approach, developed by the authors, are given. Finally, experimentally realized examples of speed and position control of DC and IM are given as an illustration of the efficiency of the promoted EDs controller design via discrete-time VSC.

The design of variable structure system inputs which are constrained by saturation is studied. For a LTI system which satisfies some conditions, it is shown that appropriate bounded controllers guarantee the system’s global stability and maximize the sliding mode domain on the switching surfaces. Stability conditions of variable structure systems with constrained inputs are relaxed, and the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by using passivity theory of linear passive systems. Moreover, nonlinear sliding surfaces are discussed for variable structure controller design, and a novel nonlinear switching surface is proposed. Finally, the proposed methods are applied to a 2nd order LTI system to show their usefulness.

Noise rejection, handling the difficulties coming from the mathematical representation of the system under investigation and alleviation of structural or unstructural uncertainties constitute prime challenges that are frequently encountered in the practice of systems and control engineering. Designing a controller has primarily the aim of achieving the tracking precision as well as a degree of robustness against the difficulties stated. From this point of view, variable structure systems theory offer well formulated solutions to such ill-posed problems containing uncertainty and imprecision. In this paper, a simple controller structure is discussed. The architecture is known as Adaptive Linear Element (ADALINE) in the framework of neural computing. The parameters of the controller evolve dynamically in time such that a sliding motion is obtained. The inner sliding motion concerns the establishment of a sliding mode in controller parameters, which aims to minimize the error on the controller outputs. The outer sliding motion is designed for the plant. The algorithm discussed drives the error on the output of the controller toward zero learning error level, and the state tracking error vector of the plant is driven toward the origin of the phase space simultaneously. The paper gives the analysis of the equivalence between the two sliding motions and demonstrates the performance of the algorithm on a three degrees of freedom, anthropoid robotic manipulator. In order to clarify the performance of the scheme, together with the dynamic complexity of the plant, the adverse effects of observation noise and nonzero initial conditions are studied.

This study aims to develop a leveling position control of an active PWM-controlled pneumatic isolation table system. A novel concept using parallel dual-on/off valves with PWM control signals is implemented to realize active control and to improve the conventional pneumatic isolation table that supported by four pneumatic cushion isolators. In this study, the cushion isolators are not only passive vibration isolation devices, but also pneumatic actuators in active position control. Four independent closed-loop position feedback control system are designed and implemented for the four axial isolators. In this study, on/off valves are used, and PWM is realized by software. Therefore, additional hardware circuit is not required to implement PWM and not only cost down but also reach control precision of demand. In the controller design, the Fourier series-based adaptive sliding-mode controller with H∞ tracking performance is used to deal with the uncertainty and time-varying problems of pneumatic system. Finally, the experiments on the pneumatic isolation table system for synchronous position and trajectory tracking control, including no-load and loading conditions, and synchronous position control with master-slave method, are implemented in order to verify that the controller for each cushion isolator can realize good position and trajectory tracking performance.

This paper examines the use of an output feedback variable structure controller with a nonlinear sliding surface for a class of SISO nonlinear systems in the presence of matched disturbances. With only the measurable system output, the discontinuous observer reconstructs the system states and ensures that the estimation errors exponentially approach zero. Using the estimation states, the proposed nonlinear sliding surface with variable damping ratio can simultaneously achieve low overshoot and short settling time. Then the passivity-based controller including a discontinuous term can guarantee that the closed-loop system asymptotically converges to the sliding surface. Compared with other sliding mode controllers, the proposed passivity-based control scheme has better transient performance and effectively reduces the control gain. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
