A self-tuning control scheme, incorporated with the simplified 1st-order ARMAX(Auto-Regressive Moving Average eXogenous) model, for single rod hydraulic cylinder which has varying dynamic characteristics is presented here. An adaptive controller is developed for the system that uses feedforward and optimal feedback control for simultaneous parameter identification and tracking control. Through experimental results, the performance comparison of the self-tuning controller with a fixed gain proportional controller clearly shows its superior ability in handling load changes in quiescent states.

In this study a MRAC(model reference adaptive control) for fluid power elevator model system was designed. The MRAC was compared with PI control in case of applying to the elevator model system with constant external load and changing external load. In this case external load was produced by a single fluid power cylinder combined with pressure control valve. In conclusion the MRAC control performance was better than PI control performance because overshoot and steady state error of the elevator model system controlled by the MRAC were not appeared for constant and changing external load.

In this study, the effect of the factors of a hydraulic modulator of ASMS was analysed. The modeling of ASMS was presented and the equation of ASMS was derived from the modeling. With this background, GUI analysis tool was developed. After the verification of the reasonability of simulation, the response of a hydraulic modulator is investigated through simulation of modeling. With this simulation, each behavior was predicted with changing the various parameters and determined the influenced factors to apply the designing process.

Nowadays, electro hydrostatic actuator (EHA) has shown great advantages over the conventional hydraulic actuators with valve control system. This paper presents a position control for an EHA using a modified back stepping controller. The controller is designed by combining a backstepping technique and adaptation laws via special Lyapunov functions. The control signal consists of an adaptive control signal to compensate for the nonlinearities and a simple robust structure to deal with a bounded disturbance. Experiments are carried out to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Multi-climbing hydraulic robots are used to lift construction factory (CF) synchronously for applications in the automation of a high-rise building construction. In this study, synchronous motion controller is proposed for the hydraulic robots, whose strategy is not only to make each robot follow the reference path basically by sliding-mode control, but also to synchronize motions of two adjacent cent robots consecutively by cross-coupled control technique. Simulations are performed by using SIMULINK for a system similar to a practical application that includes unbalance in CF and wind disturbance. The results show that the proposed controller significantly reduces synchronous errors, compared to the individual controller for each hydraulic robot.

This study is concerned with the optimizing method of control parameters for a hydraulic speed control system by using genetic algorithms which are general purpose search algorithms based on natural evolution and genetics. It is shown that the genetic altorithms satisfactorily oiptimized control gains of the PI speed control system of an electrohydraulic servomotor and that optimization of control para- meters can be achived without much experience and knowledge for tuning. It is also shown that optimal gains may be determined from fitness distribution curves plotted in given gain spaces.

It is required a lot of strength in aquaculture, such as dragging up or moving heavy loads. So, a helper system like excavator at construction is need for fishermen. As most of HFMSC(Hydraulic Fishery Managing Small Crane)s are operated based on ON/OFF control, it can make sway the contents in the crane. In worse case, it could threaten workers. In this paper, we development the MICOM based controller which can reduce the swing sway. This paper describes the hydraulic characteristics, the design method of controller and the control algorithms. And, the proposed controller show the efficiency to carry out the experimental validation.

This paper presents the road simulator control technology for reproducing the road input signal to implement the real road data. The simulator consists of the hydraulic pump, servo valve, hydraulic actuator and its control equipment. The QFT is utilized to control the simulator effectively. The control system illustrates a tracking performance of the closed-loop controller with low order transfer function G(s) and pre-filter F(s) for a parametric uncertain model. A force controller is designed to communicate the control signal between simulator and digital controller. The efficacy of the QFT force controller is verified through the numerical simulation, in which combined dynamics and actuation of the hydraulic servo system are tested. The simulation results show that the proposed control technique works well under uncertain hydraulic plant system. The conventional software (Labview) is used to make up for the real controller in the real-time basis, and the experimental works show that the proposed algorithm works well for a single road simulator.

The control system illustrates a tracking performance of the closed-loop controller with low order transfer function G(s) and pre-filter F(s) for a parametric uncertain model. A force controller is designed to communicate the control signal between simulator and digital controller. Tracking specification is satisfied with upper and lower bound tolerances on the steep response of the system to the reference signal. The efficacy of the QFT force controller is verified through the numerical simulation, in which combined dynamics and actuation of the hydraulic servo system are tested. The simulation results show that the proposed control technique works well under uncertain hydraulic plant system.

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.
