Electromagnetic control valves have been used for almost 20 years. As the solenoid modulating technology advances, its applications are extending to various industrial fields such as nuclear and fossil fuel power plants, chemical plants and refineries. Proportional solenoid valve for large flow control is designed with two-stage configuration to meet the required actuating force on the main disc and its position is stabilized by the self-controlled system. In this research, main disc dynamics is analyzed with linearized system model which is derived from the mathematical equations describing its nonlinear behavior. Major design parameters of the valve control system that affect the response and stability are also studied with root locus method. The linear dynamic analysis results are verified with simulations in time-domain.

In establishing a simulation program for hydraulic valves, it is always a big obstacle to incorporate correctly flow forces on valve body into the simulation program. This paper suggests a method to estimate flow forces on spool in proportional directional/flow control valves with spool structure. Furthermore, suggests a way to obtain simulation program for spool valves, in which flow force mechanism is fully reflected.

공정제어시스템을 위한 제어기로써 현재까지는 PID 제어기가 보편화되어 적용되어 왔으나 비선형 시스템이나 복잡한 시스템 제어를 위해서는 목표치 추종특성이 우수하며 환경이나 공정 파라미터변화에 둔감하여 외란에 대한 영향이 적은 제어기가 요구된다. PID 제어기로는 이러한 목적을 달성하는 데에 한계가 있기 때문에 이를 해결하기 위한 연구들이 활발히 수행되어 목표치 추종성능과 외란 억제를 동시에 만족토록 하는 다양한 2자유도 PID 제어시스템들이 제안되었고, 본 연구에서는 먼저 현재까지 제안된 2자유도 PID 제어시스템들 중 제어성능이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타난 목표치 필터형 2자유도 PID 제어시스템(Target Value Filter Type 2-DOF PID Control System: 이하 TVF-2DOF) [2]보다 우수한 2자유도PID 제어시스템을 제안하고, 이를 바탕으로 2자유도 선행필터(Pre-Filter)부분에 지능제어기법의 하나인 퍼지로직을 적용함으로써 PID 제어기의 장점과 퍼지로직의 장점을 동시에 활용하는 지능형 튜닝(Tuning)기법에 관한 연구를 수행하였고, 지능형 시스템이 2자유도 PID 제어시스템들보다 목표치 추종 성능 및 외란억제효과가 우수하다는 사실을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 입증하였다. 시스템으로는 유량 제어 밸브가 사용되었다.

The water level control system of the steam generator in a pressurized water reactor and its control problems are analysed. In this work the stable control strategy during the low power operation and transient states is studied. To solve the problem, a fuzzy logic control method is applied as a basic algorithm of the controller. The control algorithm is based on the operator's knowledges and the experiences of manual operation for water level control at the compact nuclear simulator set up in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. From a viewpoint of the system realization, the control variables and rules are established considering simpler tuning and the input-output relation. The control strategy includes the dynamic tuning method and employs a substitutional information using the bypass valve opening instead of incorrectly measured signal at the low flow rate as the fuzzy variable of the flow rate during the pressure control mode of the steam generator. It also involves the switching algorithm between the control valves to suppress the perturbation of water level. The simulation results show that both of the fine control action at the small level error and the quick response at the large level error can be obtained and that the performance of the controller is improved.

Because a hydraulic actuator has high power and force densities, this allows the weight of the robot's limbs to be reduced. This allows for good dynamic characteristics and high energy efficiency. Thus, hydraulic actuators are used in some exoskeleton robots and quadrupedal robots that require high torque. Force control is useful for robot compliance with a user or environment. However, force control of a hydraulic robot is difficult because a hydraulic servo system is highly nonlinear from a control perspective. In this study, a nonlinear model was used to develop a simulation program for a hydraulic servo system consisting of a servo valve, transmission lines, and a cylinder. The problems and considerations with regard to the force control performance for a hydraulic servo system were investigated. A force control method using the nonlinear model was proposed, and its effect was evaluated with the simulation program.

LPG 및 석유류는 온도에 따라서 유량의 변화가 LPG의 경우는 ±0.23%/℃, 무연은 ±0.11%/℃, 등유는 ±0.10%/℃, 경유의 경우는 ±0.09%/℃로 특히 LPG의 경우가 그 변화가 심하므로 정확한 충전량을 계량하는 것이 중요하다. 이는 공정거래 확립의 차원에서 공급자와 소비자 입장에서 반드시 요구되는 사항이다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 LPG 충전기의 충전제어 및 자동 온도 보정의 알고리즘을 개발하고 이를 프로그래밍한 후 온도센서와 16-bit 마이크로프로세서(intel 80C196)로 자동 온도 보정이 가능한 LPG 충전기의 충전제어 시스템을 설계 및 제작하였다. 설계 제작된 시스템은 프로세서부, I/O 입ㆍ출력부, VFD(vacuum fluorescent display) 디스플레이 구동부로 구성된다. 충전제어 동작은 LPG 유량계의 encoder로부터의 유량(유속)신호와 기차 보정값 및 15℃를 기준으로 한 온도 센서부의 온도 보정값을 입력받아 솔레노이드 밸브를 제어하여 충전을 제어하게 된다. 온도 보정은 80C196 프로세서의 내부 10-bit A/D 변환기를 사용하여 0.5℃ 분해능으로 온도제어를 할 수 있다. VFD 디스플레이는 유량, 금액, 단가가 표시되며 그 값을 누적시켜 일계, 월계를 알 수 있게 하였다. 그 외에 시스템 진단기능 및 컴퓨터통신, POS 통신이 가능하도록 하였다. 제작된 시스템을 LPG 충전기에 실장하여 시험한 결과 목표한 정확도로 유량이 제어됨을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, an equivalent brake hydraulic circuit with a piezoelectric hydraulic pump was constructed, and load pressure control for better pressurization/depressurization characteristics was conducted. To understand pressurization/depressurization characteristics of the equivalent hydraulic circuit, the relation between the load pressure and the input voltage was revealed experimentally. Experiments were also conducted to observe effect of the solenoid valve on depressurization characteristics. In the pressurization experiment, it was validated that transient response time required to achieve desired load pressure may be reduced through voltage control to change pressurization gradient. By applying the valve on/off time control and voltage control, it was also possible to reduce response time in the depressurization process. Therefore, transient response time may be improved within 10ms for pressurization and within 30 ms for depressurization using the control technique suggested in this study. The load pressure control method proposed in this study is useful for controlling load pressure of a hydraulic brake system with the piezoelectric hydraulic pump.

This paper presents an active position control of a single-rod cylinder system featuring an electrorheological(ER) fluid-based valve. The ER fluid consisting of silicone oil and chemically treated particles is firstly composed and its Bingham property is tested as a function of imposed electric field. A multi-channel plate type of ER valve is then designed and manufactured on the basis of the field-dependent Bingham model. Performance test of the ER valve is undertaken by evaluating pressure drop with respect to the number of electrode as well as the intensity of the electric field. Subsequently, the ER valve-cylinder system is constructed and its governing equation of motion is derived. A neural control scheme for position control of the cylinder is formulated by incorporating proportional-plus-derivative(PD) controller and implemented. Experimental results of both regulating and tracking control responses are presented in order to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed ER valve-cylinder control system.
