In this paper, an in-process diagnosis method for performance of position control servo system was studied, which was based upon null bias, slew-rate ratio and delay time measurement. Slew-rate ratio and delay time were analyzed by theoretical analysis, computer simulation and experiment. As a result of these analysis, when spool of servovalve was weared, slew-rate ratio was decreased and delay time was increased.

본 논문은 원자력 발전소의 주요 제어계통 중에서 터빈 조속기 제어계통에 관련한 성능평가를 목적으로 한다. 터빈 조속기 계통은 고압의 유압계통으로 구성되어 있어 구동설비가 복잡하다. 복잡한 기계설비는 운전 중 많은 오동작에 의한 고장을 일으키고, 유지보수에 어려움이 있다. 이러한 복잡한 기계설비에 있어 운전원에 의한 기계성능 평가는 불리한 점이 많다. 예를 들어 서로 다른 시간에서 일어나는 같은 상황에 대해 다른 판단을 내릴 수 있다는 점이다. 터빈 조속기 계통의 기계설비에 있어서 터빈 밸브 유압공급 및 구동장치는 각 터빈벨브 자체에 부착되어 있어 터빈벨브를 동작시킨다. 터빈벨브들은 구동기 유압 서보실린더(Actuator Hydraulic Servo Cylinder)에 의해 열리고 압축된 스프링에 의해 닫힌다. 이러한 시스템을 진단하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 밸브의 내부 압력의 특징정보를 입력으로 하는 퍼지이론을 적용하여 터빈 밸브 구동설비의 성능을 판단하고자 한다. 퍼지이론에 적용하기위해 터빈 조속기 제어계통의 고압 터빈 조절 벨브와 고압 터빈 정지 밸브의 압력변화 데이터를 이용한다. 퍼지이론의 적용과정에서 퍼지 Rule은 실제 운전원이 압력변화 데이터에 대한 판단기준을 근거로 하여 정하기로 한다. 그리고 퍼지이론에 적용한 결과를 분석하고 실제 터빈 조속기 계통의 전문가가 판단 결과와 비교하였다.

The spool displacement signal of a directional control valve, including the servo valve, can be considered as the standard signal to measure dynamic characteristics. When the spool displacement signal is not available, the velocity signal of a metering cylinder piston can be used. In this study, the frequency response characteristics of the metering cylinder are investigated for the spool displacement input. The transfer functions of the servo valve-metering system are derived taking into consideration the oil inertia effect in the transmission lines. The theoretical results of the transfer functions are verified through computer simulations and experiments. The oil inertia effect in the transmission lines was found to have a very significant effect on the bandwidth frequency of the servo valve-metering cylinder system. In order to more precisely measure the dynamic characteristics of a servo valve, the metering cylinder should be set up to minimize the oil inertia effect by increasing the inner diameters of the transmission lines or shortening their lengths.

Due to the high power to weight ratio and fast response under heavy load, the hydraulic systems are still applied to the development of many industrial facilities such as heavy duty construction vehicles, aerospace/military weapon actuating systems and motion simulators. Unlike the other actuators, single-rod hydraulic cylinder exhibits a lot different dynamic characteristics between the extending and retracting stroke because of the difference in pressure acting areas. In this research, in order to overcome this nonlinear feature, $H_{\infty}$ optimal controller was designed and implemented with DSP board that was specifically developed for the experiment. From the experimental result, we could confirm that the overall performance of single-rod hydraulic servo system is similar with the results as we expected in the design stage.

This paper deals with the issue of motion control of a single rod cylinder-load system using simple adaptive control (SAC) method. Prior to controller design, the experiment of open-loop response has been performed. Based on it, design parameters of transfer function are obtained and used for controller design. The effect of parallel feedforward compensator has been investigated by computer simulation, suppressing the oscillatory motion. Through experiments it is conformed that the SAC method gives good tracking performance compared to the PD control method.

The optimum design parameters of several hydraulic systems are obtained using the complex method that is one kind of constrained direct search method. First, the parameters of lead-lag controller of the direct drive servovalve is designed using the complex method to satisfy the steady-state error requirement. Second, the optimum locating point of hydraulic cylinder Is determined to minimize the cylinder force in the operation range of rotational sluice gate. For the third application case, the optimum piston area of hydraulic cylinder is determined to minimize the man power to elevate the manually operated sluice gate.

An in-process method of diagnosing the spool wear of hydraulic servovalves was explored. The diagnostic method discussed in this paper is for force-control hydraulic servo systems. The key principle used is that pressure sensitivity of a servovalve drops as the valve spool wears out so that it is possible to determine the spool condition by monitoring pressure sensitivity. A diagnostic algorithm was developed and evaluated through numerical simulation and experiments. Two major steps of diagnosis are the evaluation of null bias of the servovalve and the approximation of pressure sensitivity, both of which could be successfully done during normal operation of a servo system. The difference between a new servovalve and a worn valve could be clearly detected in-process, and the diagnostic test was found to be repeatable.

Components such as pressure vessel, hydraulic hose assembly, accumulator, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic valve, pipe, etc., are tested under the impulse-pressure conditions prescribed in ISO and SAE standards. The impulse pressure test machine needs to have a high pressure, a precise control system and a long life. It should satisfy the requirements for fabrication of the impulse tester to generate ultra high pressure in the hydraulic system. In the impulse tester, a servo-valve control system is adopted; although the control application is convenient, it is expensive owing to the cost of developing the system. The type of the control system determines the pressure wave, which affects the components that are tested. In this study, the manufacturing process and the intensifier system design related to the flow, pressure, and the increasing rate of pressure are investigated. The results indicate the ultra high pressure waves in the system.

With the recent acceleration of industrial technologies and active research, wearable robot technologies have been applied to various fields. To study the utility of wearable robots, basic research on kinetic mechanisms of the human body, bio-signal analysis, and system control are essential. In this study, we investigated the basic structure of a wearable system and the operating principles of a driving mechanism. The control system and supporting structure, which comprise the driving mechanism, were designed and manufactured. Motion and load analyses were performed simultaneously for the design of the kinematic drive, and the driving mechanism was constructed by analyzing walking motion. The operating conditions of the cylinder were verified by stride via driving experiments. Further, the accuracy and responsiveness of the system were confirmed by comparison with actual motion, and the system safety was validated by applying loads.
