    摘要: A control system is provided for a hydraulic actuating system having a multi-phase stepping motor with a driver therefor which supplies and controls DC current through each of the motor windings such that no current is induced into the control winding from adjacent windings. The stepping motor precisely controls the rotation of an eccentric cam engaging an actuating plunger which actuates a control valve of the hydraulic actuating system. The driver receives control signals from a computer programmed to calculate, from user input command signals indicative of the desired system condition, and generate those control signals which most quickly achieve a rough approximation of the desired system condition. After this rough approximation is attained, the computer generates new control signals for the driver as a function of feedback signals and/or system component characteristics so as to precisely achieve the desired system condition.

    摘要: A dynamic control for a multi-link manipulator having a central processing unit, a linear dynamics control loop and a fast nonlinear dynamics control loop. The linear dynamics control loop has servo amplifiers and associated power amplifiers for actuating the links in response to the signals generated by the central processing unit and sensors generating the requisite feedback signals. The nonlinear dynamics control loop comprises a nonlinear dynamics control computer generating correction signals corresponding to the nonlinear dynamics of the manipulator links in response to the signals generated by the central processing unit and feedback signal and means for summing the correction signals with the signals generated by the servo amplifiers. The nonlinear dynamics control computer generates the correction signals for the first 3 links of the manipulator using Lagrangian dynamics and generates the correction signals for the remaining links using recursive Newton-Euler dynamics.

    摘要: A linearization circuit for use with servovalves for controlling reciprocating actuators. The circuit will maintain a substantially linear flow as a function of spool position from the servovalve regardless of the differential pressure across the servovalve orifices, for example the differential pressures which result from changing direction of movement of the controlled actuator under a high load. A differential pressure signal from the actuator, which correlates to differential pressure on the servovalve orifices is processed to provide a compensation signal combined with the normal control signal to achieve the desired output.

    摘要: An electrohydraulic servovalve including a tailoring circuit coupled to provide a predetermined input signal to the motor of the valve. The predetermined signal functions to control the flow of fluid from the valve to effect a desired result. The electrohydraulic servovalve includes a housing defining round flow ports with a spool valve for metering flow through the ports. The spool valve substantially overlaps the round flow ports. The tailoring circuit includes a plurality of amplifiers each of which has a different gain. A command signal is applied to the amplifier and the output from the amplifiers is summed to provide an input signal to the motor of the electrohydraulic servovalve.

    摘要: A multirate sampled closed-loop digital servo system controls read/write head positioning in a magnetic disc storage device. Using a multirate estimator, positional data embedded in the storage medium is sampled once per sector, and inter-sector positional information is predicted. At least two control signals are provided per sample. The control signals are outputted at a multiple of the measurement sample rate, e.g., twice the sample rate. The estimator estimates head position and velocity, system and DC bias, and accounts for estimator calculation time delay, in the system and in the control updates. Estimated states are based on the measurement, control value, last control value, and last estimated states. Input information used by the estimator includes the digitized sampled position error signal (PES), the Gray code value, the present digital control value, and the last digital control value. At every sample, the present invention calculates the control values based upon estimated read/write head position and velocity, and the absolute position of the target track. Both present and last control values are used for the estimator to compensate for computational delay and for additional system phase lags. To minimize computational delay, the algorithm implementing the estimator and controller requires but one multiplication and one addition are necessary to calculate the control value. Once the heads are moved close to the desired target tracks, the servo operates closed-loop in track-follow mode.

    摘要: This improved signal discontinuity compensation method compensates for discontinuity in the relationship between motor position commands received by a motor driver, and motor current signals sent to a motor by the motor driver. A best fit approximation of the signal discontinuity is generated based on median data points which provides resistance to anomalous data points. The compensation is accomplished by adding an offset to specific motor position commands sent to the motor driver based on the best fit approximation. The offset command maximizes accuracy and control over motor motion by avoiding the motor driver's motor current signal discontinuity.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for controlling a plant are described. The control methods are adaptive and compensate for changes in plant component characteristics and plant environment, and are applicable to systems having a bias force. The methods are described in relation to a sampled-data control system for a computer disc drive servo actuator apparatus but the control methods are independent of plant type. Methods for extending a linear measurement range of a position sensor, for generating a plant gain constant, for measuring plant phase, for measuring plant resonance frequencies and compensating for the effects of plant resonance, and for switching between different modes depending on characteristics of the applied control value are described. These methods may be used separately or in combination to achieve the desired control.
