Adaptive Control is applied to regulate cutting force in turning operation under varying cutting conditions. Regulation is achieved primarily by adjusting feedrate. Such control leads to better machine utilization and increased tool life. The modeling of adaptive control system in turning operation is presented. The experimental results show that the adaptive PI controller is stable and performs more effective force control over wide range of cutting conditions as compared with the fixed gain PI controller.

Conventional AGC controller implemented by considering ACE and bias factors always contains error terms due to inaccuracy of bias factors. To improve this steady state AGC performance, PI controller can be introduced to the ACE processing and plant controller part. Even though more rigorous inspections are required, a simple application shows that it can be very useful for the improvements of AGC performances.

화력발전소 보일러의 각종 공정은 대부분 비례 적분 미분 제어기에 의해 제어되어 왔다. 이러한 비례 미분 적분 제어기의 최적튜닝은 공정에 있어 가장 중요한 부분 중 하나라고 할 수 있다. 또한 보일러 제어는 다중의 입력과 루프로 구성되어져 있어 이를 튜닝하기가 어려워 현재까지의 최적튜닝은 튜닝전문가의 숙련도에 의해 결정되어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 고급공정제어기(Advanced Process Control, APC)를 개발하는 과정과 이를 이용해 최종적으로 보일러 제어기에서 제어하고자 하는 대상에 대한 응답특성을 간단한 튜닝을 통해 구현하는 과정에 대하여 설명하고 그 결과를 시뮬레이터를 통해 시험함으로써 검증해 보이고자 한다.

Proportional solenoid valves are a modulating type that can control the displacement of valves continuously by means of electromagnetic forces proportional to the solenoid coil current. Because the solenoid-type modulating valves have the advantages of fast response and compact design over air-operated or motor-operated valves, they have been gaining acceptance in chemical and power plants to control the flow of fluids such as water, steam, and gas. This paper deals with the auto tuning of the position controller that can provide the proportional and integral gain automatically based on the dynamic system identification. The process characteristics of the solenoid valve are estimated with critical gain and critical period at a stability limit based on implemented relay feedback, and the controller parameters are determined by the classical Ziegler-Nichols design method. The auto-tuning algorithm was verified with experiments, and the effects of the operating point at which the relay control is activated as well as the relay amplitude were investigated.

Proportional directional control valves (PDCVl adjust the amount of flow as well as flow direction in response to an electrical signal. This valves includes direct operated valves with or without spool position feedback. This paper investigates if it is possible to control pressure of fluids by means of the PDCV. A pressure signal is feed back to the Proportional-Integral (PI) controller, which is based upon a personal computer (PC). The PI control algorithm is implemented in a graphical programming language of LabVIEW. The results of experiments show the PDCV can be used a multi function valve of pressure control as well as direction control.

Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been widely used for commercial light-duty vehicles worldwide. Since LPG has a higher octane number and a lower maximum combustion temperature than gasoline , it becomes more popular fuel for reducing exhaust emissions. In tihs study, mathematical models of air intake and fuel delivery system are presented, and a PI-controller is designed for air-fuel ratio control. Hardware and software of an engine control module (ECM) are designed for an LPG engine. The ECM is built using a Motorola MC68HC05. In order to control the air-fuel ratio at stoichiometry, the PI-control algorithm is implemented in the ECM. The experiment results show the proto LPG ECM and its control scheme perform well to meet the stoichiometric air-duel ratio requirement.

Controller refinement scheme to improve the performance of a conventional system automatically in frequency domain is proposed. The controller automatic tuning method features using experimental frequency responses of the conventional closed-loop system, the conventional controller, and the improved closed-loop system, instead of poorly modeled plant due to non-linearities and disturbances. The improved closed-loop system characteristics is automatically acquired by the con-ventional closed-loop system characteristics and the proposed performance index in system bandwidth. And the proper controller is realized by least squares approximation in frequency domain. To testify the usefulness of the approach, the path tracking control of robot arm is performed. Experimental results and analytic results are well-matched.

Discrete-time controller design is proposed using feedback system identification in frequency domain. System Stability imposed by a new controller is checked in the function of a conventional closed-loop system, instead of a poorly modeled plant due to non-linearity and disturbance as well as unstable components, etc. The stability of the system is evaluated in view of Popov criterion. All the equations are formulated in the framework of the discrete-time system. Simulation results are shown on the plant with input saturation components, DC disturbance and a pure integration.
