Arago's disk system consists of a speed controller of the DC motor (inner loop controller) and a position controller of the magnetic bar angle (main controller), which are implemented by the design of the PI and PID controller, respectively. First, we analyzed the nonlinear characteristics of the Arago disk system and found the operating point range of three locations as a result. In this paper, a gain scheduler method was applied to guarantee a constant control performance in the range of $0{\sim}130^{\circ}C$, and a structure to change the controller according to the control reference value based on the previously obtained operating points was experimentally implemented. The Distributed Control Systems (DCS) configuration using the Controller Area Network (CAN) was used to verify the proposed method by improving the operational efficiency of the entire experimental system. So, simplicity of the circuit and easy diagnosis were achieved through a single CAN bus communication.

Stable running is a very important factor when we are building a control system. But, sometimes malfunction of the system controller is caused by several reasons. To solve these problems, some systems have prepared a backup controller. In the generality of cases, making a backup controller is no easy work. Especially, it becomes more difficult when many backup controllers have to be embodied in one system. In this paper, the multi-backup function controller which was implemented in the form of the network type distributed control system will be suggested. Also, using Arago Disk System that has a structure for inner loop control, the validity of the proposed methods will be verified.

The PRT can be divided into In-Track and On-Board according to propulsion method. In process of In-Track, vehicles driven by LIMs(Linear Induction Motor) which are installed in Guideway. Central Controller, which control whole machine, must control speed and direction of all vehicles. In this case, as vehicle increases, Central Controller will overload. If Central Controller fails, all vehicle stops. To avoid this problem, processing of Central Controller must be distributed. This paper introduces method of Distributed Routing. Method of Distributed Routing will provide safety and efficiency for PRT System.

In robot teleoperation, much research has been carried out to control the slave robot from remote site. One of the essential devices for robot teleoperation is the masterarm, which is a path command generating device worn on human arm. In this paper, a new masterarm based on human kinematics is proposed. Its controller is based on the distributed controller architecture composed of two controller parts: a host controller and a set of satellite controllers. Each satellite controller measures the corresponding joint angle, while the host controller performs forward and inverse kinematics calculation. This distributed controller architecture can make the data updating faster, which allows to implement real-time implementation. The host controller and the satellited controllers are networked via three-wire daisy-chained SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol, so this architecture makes the electrical wiring very simple, and enhances maintenance. Analytical method for finding three additional unknown joint angles is derived using only three measured angles for each shoulder and wrist, which makes th hardware implementation very simple by minimizing the required number of satellite controllers. Finally, the simulation and experiment results are given to demonstrate the usefulness and performance of the proposed masterarm.

The distributed flexible alternative current transmission system (D-FACTS) is a recently developed FACTS technology. Distributed Static Series Compensator (DSSC) is one example of DFACTS devices. DSSC functions in the same way as a Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), but is smaller in size, lower in price, and possesses more capabilities. Likewise, DSSC lies in transmission lines in a distributed manner. In this work, we designed a fuzzy logic controller to use the DSSC for enhancing transient stability in a two-machine, two-area power system. The parameters of the fuzzy logic controller are varied widely by a suitable choice of membership function and parameters in the rule base. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fuzzy controller for transient stability enhancement by DSSC.

This paper presents a feedback controller for compensation time delay in the distributed control systems. In using network, controllers and sensors are distributed on a communications network, there exist time delays on communication lines between the system components. So, we deal with the controller using Smith predictor controller design issue for such systems. Particularly compensated for the time delay of the plant or controller involved integrator using Modified Smith predictor. Simulation and the results show the good performance for the modified Smith predictor control systems.

This paper presents an enhanced control strategy which consists of a proportional-integral controller and a repetitive controller (RC) for improving the voltage performance of distributed generation (DG) under nonlinear load conditions. The proposed voltage controller is able to maintain a sinusoidal voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) of the DG regardless of the harmonic voltage drop in the system impedance due to nonlinear load currents. In addition, by employing the delay time of the RC at one-sixth of the fundamental period, the proposed RC can overcome the slow response drawback of the traditional PI-RC. The proposed control strategy is analyzed and the design of the RC is presented in detail. The feasibility of the proposed control strategy is verified through simulation and experimental results.

The time delay in servo control on LonWorks/IP Virtual Device Network (VDN) is highly stochastic in nature. LonWorks/IP VDN induced time delay deteriorates the performance and stability of the real-time distributed control system and hinders an effective preventive and predictive maintenance. Especially in real-time distributed servo applications on the factory floor, timely response is essential for predictive and preventive maintenance. In order to guarantee the stability and performance of the system for effective preventive and predictive maintenance, LonWorks/IP VDN induced time delay needs to be predicted and compensated for. In this paper position control simulation of DC servo motor using Zero Phase Error Tracking Controller (ZPETC) as a feedforward controller, and Internal Model Controllers (IMC) based on Smith predictor with disturbance observer as a feedback controller is performed. The validity of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated by comparing the IMC based on Smith predictor with disturbance observer.

This paper describes the operation analysis results of a communication-based DC micro-grid using a hardware simulator developed in the lab. The developed hardware simulator is composed of distributed generation devices such as wind power, photovoltaic power and fuel cells, and energy storage devices such as super-capacitors and batteries. Whole system monitoring and control was implemented using a personal computer. The power management scheme was implemented in a main controller based on a TMS320F28335 chip. The main controller is connected with the local controller in each of the distributed generator and energy storage devices through the communication link based on a CAN or an IEC61850. The operation analysis results using the developed hardware simulator confirm the ability of the DC micro-grid to supply the electric power to end users.
