The present urban maglev which has been developed in Korea is controlled by 4-edge control method over each bogie. The control output which is derived from two gap sensors and one vertical acceleration sensor controls magnet to maintain a nominal gap. But, the gap signal acts as a big disturbance in rail joint though two gap sensors are used and finally result in unstable response and poor ride comfort. This paper treats of a method to compensate the gap signal in rail joint for the levitation control of urban maglev. The physically abnormal change of gap is detected when one gap sensor passes a rail joint, the disturbance of gap in rail joint is estimated. Finally the disturbance in gap signal is eliminated by processing the information of vehicle speed and estimated disturbance in when the other gap sensor passes a rail joint.

In this paper, a levitation control circuit for a magnetic levitation system supplied with a battery is designed. The control circuit consists of DSP, 4-quadrant chopper, and gap sensor as feedback sensors. Moreover the DSP includes PWM generator, A/D converter, etc. The feedback signals from gap sensors go into A/D converter of DSP to compare with reference. As a result, The design procedures of the levitation control circuit and battery power distribution system are described and basic experiment results are shown.

The multi degree of freedom system using magnetic levitation has been implemented successfully. Differently from another noncontact systems, the developed system was focused on the maximization of the system stiffness under the constraint of a limited input. The variation of a relative adopting point between the magnetic pair, its location on the fixed base, and the selection of optimal specifications for the main active magnetic elements give us another chance to realize the increased robustness against external disturbances with the less control inputs. In this paper, the overall development procedures are given including the optimal design, the dynamic modeling, the various control tests, and the main issues to be solved.

기능적/공간적 통합 원리를 이용하여 기존 Multi-coordinate 드라이브 모듈들을 통합 구현하려는 시도들이 보고되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 선형 유도 구동기에서 에지 효과를 줄이기 위해 개발된, 이동 자장의 방향과 폐자로의 방향이 수직인 횡자속 선형 유도 구동기(TFLIM)를 대상으로 이러한 통합 원리를 이용하여 구동기에 인가되는 3상 입력을 조절하여 공극의 자기 상호 작용에 기인하여 부수적으로 발생되는 흡인력/부상력을 능동적으로 이용할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.(중략)

Being controlled by a pole placement, levitation system should need many sensors such as measure air-gap, velocity, acceleration, and so on. However, these sensors have observational errors by changed temperature. This paper proposed a output compensated command tracking controller for reducing the error and reducing sensors. Simulation results will be provided to show the validity of the proposed scheme.

The performance of magnetic levitation controller is affected from not only levitation control algorithm but also the interaction between compositing system, so it is important to design maglev system considering the character of magnetic levitation controller in order to get the required performance of Maglev. The factors affecting the levitation controller of maglev are the dynamics of levitation magnet, the carrying weight of the overall system, the normal force and lateral force of traction motor and rail condition. In this paper the interaction between magnet and vehicle weight is analysed on side of stability of levitation controller in order to get the required performance of levitation controller.

This paper describes a state feedback controller design method of the integral type magnetic levitation servo system which satisfies the design objectives. The design objective is a $H_{\infty}$ performance, asymptotic disturbance rejection and a robust pole assignment in linear matrix inequality(LMI) region. To the end, we investigated the validity of the designed controller which considering a robust pole assignment region, through results of simulation.

The inherent pulsating force generation makes the control of switched-reluctance motor quite complicate. So in this paper, an orthogonal scheme that can be applied to the control of LSRM will be presented. By using this scheme, the motor reluctance forces, which are magnetically decoupled and position dependent, can be projected onto sets of stationary axes that are aligned with the motor fixed secondary poles. Hence the electromagnetic forces can be controlled not only for driving the LSRM at its propulsive direction but also for alleviating the load at its normal direction. Simulation results will be provided to show the validity of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, hybrid electromagnets using NdFeB permenant magnet are designed by 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Four hybrid magnets levitate the carrier of which total weight including control circuits and battery is 14[kg]. The nominal air gap length of the hybrid magnet is 3[mm]. The control circuit consists of DSP, 4-quadrant chopper, and gap sensor as feedback sensors. As a result, some experimental results for the magnetic levitation control by PI feedback control theory are shown.
