Most of the battery charger for electric powered forklift truck are controlled by the method of 3-phased constant current and constant voltage. However, these chargers have several disadvantages like a large charger capacity, and a short battery life time. This paper presents a digital type battery charger based on multi-mode control adding a constant power control and several assistant controls in the conventional control. The whole control system is performed by a low cost one-chip micro-controller and completely digitize. So we can get a high precision control and a good reliability.

This study proposes a controller that compensates torque error for precise angular velocity tracking and a method to compensate the stability of controller in implementation. Also, it is proved that the designed controller can be asymptotically stable based on Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed controller is able to control the d-axis reference current to arbitrary values and easily achieve control performance with two gains. As a result of applying to IPMSM of about 750W class, the steady state error with reference speed 1200 [RPM] is within 0.1 [%]. And it can be seen that it is an asymptomatic stable controller overcoming disturbance within about 0.2 second in application of constant load of about 5 [Nm].

The manufacturing sector resorts to automation to increase production and homogeneity of products during mass production, without increasing scarce, expensive, and unreliable manpower. Automation in the form of multiple robotic arms that handle materials in all directions in different stages of the process is proven to be the best way to increase production. This paper thoroughly investigates robotic single-arm movements, that is, 360° vertical rotation, with the help of a brushless DC motor, controlled by a fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. This paper also deals with the design and performance of the fuzzy-based PID controller used to control vertical movement against the limited scope of conventional PID feedback controller and how the torque of the arm is affected by the fuzzy PID controller in the four quadrants to ensure constant speed and accident-free operation despite the influence of gravitational force. The design was simulated through MATLAB/SIMULINK and integrated with dSPACE DS1104-based hardware to verify the dynamic behaviors of the arm.

Current controlled pulse width modulation(PWM) for voltage source inverter(VSI) is one of the control method which controls the current directly so that we can perform vector control because it reduces the orders of differential equations of the induction machine. This paper propose a Fuzzy current controlled PWM which properly minimize a current ripple using Fuzzy theory in a constant switching frequency. This technique is applied to an electrical drive system with an induction machine(IM) by simulation. By comparison with the known classical method such as ramp comparison, hysteresis band method, our contribution shows the better performances.

In this paper, our interest is the identification and control of nonlinear dynamic plant, induction motor, by using neural networks. We usually use vector control in the induction motor such as in the DC motor. When we go over the inputs of voltage source invertor, we can find that torque current and flux current couple each other in the induction motor. Before putting control inputs in the system, we should remove the coupling terms which we already know from them. But we should consider that cross coupling terms have time-varying variables. In this paper, we identified the parameter of induction motor by using neural networks and designed the controller with identified parameters. Through this procedure we obtained compensated inputs which are decoupled each other. Using induction motor currents control, we can make the d axis current hold constant value and control the q axis current at the same time.

The parallel inverter is popularly used because of its fault-tolerance capability, high-current outputs at constant voltages and system modularity. The conventional parallel inverter usually employs active and reactive power control of frequency and voltage droop control. However, these approaches have the disadvantages that the response time of parallel inverter control is slow against load and system parameter variation to calculate active, reactive power, frequency and voltage. This paper describes a novel control scheme for power equalization in parallel-connected inverter. The proposed scheme has a fast power balance control response, a simplicity of implementation, and inherent peak current limiting capability since it employees an instantaneous current/voltage control with output voltage and current balance and output voltage regulation. A design procedure for the proposed parallel inverter controller is presented. Furthermore, the proposed control scheme is verified through the experiment in various cases such as the system parameter variation, the control parameter variation and the nonlinear load condition.

In this paper, an embedded micro processor based resistance spot welding controller is introduced which has been recently developed by Hyosung Co. Ltd.

A digital proportional control is adopted for this system and the result shows that this new product is working well at wide range of welding current and the performance is improved compared with some other commercially available controllers that are widely used in our industries. User friendly MMI system and a computer network system to monitor each welding processes are also presented.

This paper presents a variable frequency current control scheme for the air-pressure control of diaphragm. Differ from the conventional air-pressure control of diaphragm, the proposed method uses a single-phase inverter to control the phase current and frequency. The phase current is adjusted to keep the reference air-pressure of the diaphragm. And the current frequency is changed to reduce the mechanical vibration. In order to smooth change of the operation with a constant air-pressure, the frequency is changed according to the voltage reference from the current controller. When the phase current is satisfied to the constant air-pressure, the current frequency is increased to reduce the vibration of the diaphragm. When the reference voltage to keep the phase current is over than the set value, the current frequency is decreased to keep the air-pressure. The proposed control scheme is verified by the experimental test of a commercial diaphragm.

The aim of this research is to develop a new method to use magnetorheological (MR) damper for vibration control. It is a new way to achieve the MR damper response without the need to have detailed constant parameters estimations. The methodology adopted in designing the control structure in this work is based on the experimental results. In order to investigate and understand the behaviour of an MR damper, an experiment is first conducted. Force-displacement and force-velocity responses with varying current have been established to model the MR damper. The force for upward and downward motions of the damper piston is found to be increasing with current and velocity. In cyclic motion, which is the combination of upward and downward motions of the piston, the force with hysteresis behaviour is seen to be increasing with current. In addition, the energy dissipated is also found to be linear with current. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, based on the established characteristics for a quarter car suspension model, has been adapted in this study. A fuzzy rule based PID controller (F-PID) is opted to achieve better response for a varying frequency input. The outcome of this study can be used in the modelling of MR damper and applied to control engineering. Moreover, the identified behaviour can help in further development of the MR damper technology.

In this paper, we propose a design method for speed controller, current control of a Brushless Direct Current(: BLDC) motor using disturbance rejection techniques. Disturbance assumes a back electromotive force occurring in the electrical system and the variation of the load acting on the rotary shaft from the outside of the motor. And it assumed to be constant during the time interval and the Luenberger's observer design. So that the error of the observer about the system status can converge to zero show how to set the appropriate gain. Further, to stabilize the whole system, and proposes a method for setting the appropriate PI gain control to improve the tracking performance. By applying the proposed controller to 120W BLDC motors were tested for the ability to follow the velocity and current reference. Since the simulation results of the steady state error is within 0.1%, we were able to show the usefulness of the tracking performance of the proposed controller.
