Anti-sway Control of Crane System using Time Optimal Control Method

최단시간 제어법을 이용한 크레인의 흔들림 방지제어

In the control of crane system, the traversing time of the trolley must be reduced as much as possible and the swing must be stopped at the end point. To design the minimum time control system, Pontryagim maximum principle is applied. In order to implement the control algorithm, the dynamic equation is linearlized at an equilibrium point, so that the linear time invariant state equation can be obtained. The overall performance of the closed loop system is evaluated by means of computer simulations and practical experiments in a broad range of working conditions. The effectiveness is proved through the experimental results for the anti-sway control of the load and the position control of trolly. It is expected that the proposed system will make an important contribution to the industrial fields.
