SYNOPSIS

This thesis is concerned with the use of all-electric systems for the

closed loop position control of mechanical (valve) actuators.

wide range of topics including

It embraces a

* the use of 3-phase induction motors and their speed/torque control using

Pulse Width Modulation techniques

* implementation of both analogue and digital (PID) controllers

* Using computer simulation methods for the development of digital control

algorithms and tuning techniques

* the use of Computer Assisted Tuning methods for tuning up the position

control loop.

The major hardware activities described here are concerned with the

design, development and construction of a 3-phase 115 volt inverter unit, an

analogue controller, and interfaces to a single board microcomputer (SBC).

The construction and test of the SBC is also described in the text. Details

of the use of an analog controller to study and determine the transfer

function of the inverter/actuator system is presented. Digital

implementation of PID control (for actuator's position) by microcomputer is

also described, togehter with the theoretical development of the control

algorithm.

Software activities consist of two major parts, plant simulation and

software development for the microprocessor (embedded) controller.

The derivation of a plant model from the results of on-line testing

is given; from this a computer simulation is developed to study the effects

of controller tuning parameters on the loop performance.

Software development for the embedded controller covers Man-Machine

Interfacing, tuning, and control functions.

A new approach to the tuning of control systems is developed here,

that of computer assisted tuning. Test results are given showing the

effectiveness of CAT techniques for the tuning of the actuator position

control loop; these tests also demonstrate the performance achieved using a

digital PID controller. It is concluded that, provided plant parameters can

be established, Computer Aided Tuning enables plant tuning to be carried out

to meet specific performance targets (e.g. rise time, overshoot) set by the

plant operator. Furthermore this can be carried out by a relatively

unskilled operator.

CHAPTER 1

1 Introduction

1.1 Power Actuation In Control Systems

In many control applications power actuator systems are used as the

final output device of the controller, acting as the plant/controller

1 interface. Typical applications include gas or steam valve control in steam

turbine systems, motorised carburetters for Air/Fuel mixture ratio control,

and aircraft flight surface actuation. Figure 1.1 shows the block diagram

of a generalized position servo system, where the principal components are

the closed loop controller, power amplifier, and actuat~ng device.

Traditionally power amplification and actuation has been carried out

using pneumatic or hydaulic devices, servo systems being almost entirely

based on hydraulics. However recent development in power electronics have

made it possible to design and build electromechanical actuators (EMA) that

can economically replace hydraulic actuators.(HA). Electric actuators are

generally superior to hydraulic ones in terms of size, weight and maintenance

requirements. Above all the EMAs are "power-by-demand" operation versus the

hydraulics "full-time power" operation. Thus EMAs are suitable for use in

both low and high performance closed loop servo systems as power actuation

devices,

1.2 Actuator Drive Motors And Their Control

In the last two decades the great majority of electric actuators for

servo systems have used de motors powered by rotating amplifiers (metadynes

and amplidynes), chopper amplifiers, or phase controlled rectifier systems.

Examples of these include the gun servo stabiliser of the Centurion tank,

rudder steering gear actuation for HMS London, and the "Sea Dart" missile

launcher controller.

This was determined mainly by the technical and economic factors

relating to the motor controller. For these very same reasons ac motors

were used only for fixed speed on-off operation, variable speed operation

requiring costly and sophisticated controllers. However, there are a number

of disadvantages associated with the de motor, as follows:

• Brush wear problems (especially at high altitude).

• Significant amounts of routine maintenance required.

• Large size for a given horsepower rating.

• Commutation problems.

It can be seen that these stem almost directly from the use of

brushes within the motor. Hence brushless motors offer a significant

performance improvement over the de type. Two main contenders for use in

serve applications can be identified, the de stepper motor and the ac

induction motor (usually a 3-phase type).

associated with these kinds are as follows:

(a) Advantages of stepper motor.

• Provides very high torque at low speed.

• Accurate position control.

(b) Disadvantages of stepper motor

• High cost system

• Shows unstability at certain torques

• Large in size.

• Totally electronic controlled.

(c) Advantages of induction motor

The advantages and disadvantages

• Low rotor inertia which improves dynamic performance.

• Almost maintenance free.

Page 22: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

3

• Long life system.

• Low cost.

• Robust and capable of withstanding harsh environmental condition.

(d) The disadvantages of induction motor.

The induction motor exhibitsa non linear, highly interacting

multivariable control structure, whose essential variables, e.g. rotor

current, cannot be measured. Hence, it gave rise to some difficulties which

limited accurate analysis and applications of such systems. To obtain high

performance variable speed control of induction motors, a complex control

scheme is needed. Only a relatively small number of papers have been

published concerning the use of induction motor control in 2-5

servo systems,

most of them being concerned with the control of elevators employing large

6~ horsepower motors.

In the past implementation of such control schemes using hardwired

logic and discrete components has been complex and expensive. However

recent advances in microprocessor systems and LSI circuits coupled with

developments in power circuitry have made ac motors a practical drive

alternative to the de motor in the low power (Below 10 H.P.) range.

1.3 Closed Loop Control Systems

The great majority of plant control systems are built using standard

off-the-shelf actuators, controllers and sub-systems. This is in distinct

contrast to defence and aerospace applications which are usually special

• purpose designs. In such cases the controller algorithms are equally

individual, the objective being to satisfy highly demanding performance

objectives.

By the very nature of plant control system design such performance

objectives are unlikely to be attained; in fact for many situations they

Page 23: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

4

aren't even necessary. Moreover it is a fact that plant operators often

disagree on the 'best' performance criteria and simply retune controllers to

meet their own needs. In the light of this it shouldn't be surprising that

the relatively straightforward 3-term (PID) controller is so widely used in

process control applications.

being

Such controllers are now almost entirely electronic

type, hydraulics

mainly to highly

hazardous applications. Until recently most systems employed analogue

controllers but now digital techniques are commonplace. Digital controllers

are significantly more flexible than analogue ones, can support sophisticated

man-machine interfaces (MMis), and can be integrated within large systems

using local area networking communications methods.

Thus there is a specific requirement for relatively low cost

'intelligent' controllers for use in plant systems, especially with the

perceived importance of local area networks (LANs) in future applications.

Any method which assists the operator in the commissioning and tuning of such

systems is a highly desirable implementation. Further, because of

commercial constraints, these controllers should be based on 8 or 16 bit

processor-s.

testing purposes and to enable transfer fUnction analysis to be carried out.

A digital computer simulation for the plant is carried out employing

the model derived from the transfer function analysis (TFA) tests to study

the effects on closed loop performance using various digital control

algorithm. From the digital simulation Computer Aided Tuning rules are

obtained and implemented to enable an operator to tune the actuator's

controller employing Man Machine Interfacing (MMI) methods. With this rule

the required performance for the system can be achieved without the need for

expert control people; no adjusting for the PID gains is needed as it is

carried out totally by the microcomputer. No other published work has been

found relating to the CAT concepts and techniques described here; this would

appear to be the first implementation of such ideas.

The thesis organisation is as follows:

In Chapter 2 the equivalent circuit of the induction motor is

presented together with the mathematical equations of the motor at its steady

state condition and its speed controlling parameters. Power electronics

control of the motor using PWM technique to control the frequency and the

voltage of stator is also presented. This chapter also contains an overview

on the use of power switching devices in controlling induction motor.

Chapter 3 describes the main types of inverters used for the control

of induction motors, concentrating mainly on voltage source inverters. The

design details of the prototype inverter, including drivers, power supplies

and controllers are also given in Chapter 3.

Chapter 4 deals specifically with the electronic control systems used

in· this work. Both analogue and digital controllers functions and

facilities are explained showing the tasks of using each of them in this

work. A detailed description of the electronic hardware designed to meet

Chapter 5 explains in brief the control systems and the performance

microprocessor for position control. The Computer Aided Tuning and its

implementation rules are also explained in details.

Chapter 8.

The prototype actuator (Figure 1.2) is an EMA with the dimensions of

38 cm, in length, 8.9 cm, in diameter, a shaft of 15 cm. stroke and its

weighing approximately 10 Kiloes,

It is driven by a 1/6 H.P. 3 phase 115 V. 60 Hz induction motor

through a gearbox which has a reduction ratio of 5:1.

The motor speed range is 0 to ± 2000 r,p,m, which gives a maximum

shaft speed of 1.3 cm/sec. Position sensing is accomplished through the use

of a rectilinear continuous track potentiometer mounted on the end of the

shaft.

CHAPTER 2

2 Induction Motor Drives

2.1 Introduction

The three-phase induction motor used in the actuator consists of a

wound stator connected to main's a.c. supply and a squirrel-cage rotor having

no external connections. Compared with brush motors the squirrel-cage motor

is more reliable, smaller, lighter, has· lower rotor inertia and is cheaper.

Its major drawback has been the difficulty of controlling its speed or

torque, this traditionally being carried out by electro-mechanical systems.

Recently it has been economical to consider an alternative, that of high

voltage solid state semiconductor switching techniques operating under

digital electronic controller I.C.s.

2.2 Principle of Cage Induction Motor

The principle of operation or the cage induction motor is as follows;

When the stator winding is energised a magnetising current flows and results

in the production of a rotating flux in .the air-gap (Figure 2.1a), lagging

the voltage by 90 degrees. This flux induces a voltage in the short-

circuited closed-cage rotor winding causing rotor current to flow. This

current lags the voltage due to the nature of the inductive winding (Figure

2.1b); it also causes a reflected stator current to flow in order to

counterbalance it. Thus the total stator current (Figure 2.1.c) is the sum

or the magnetising and reflected currents. This figure also shows the

current flow in the stator which must flow by transformer action to balance

the 8

rotor current. The interaction between rotor and stator mmfs is to

produce a torque in the same direction as the rotating field with a speed of

rotation (synchronous speed) ns given by

Page 30: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

ns =~ • 60 rev/min p

where, ~ is the synchronous frequency and Pis number·of pair of poles.

For power to be.supplied to the rotor, it is necessary for. the rotor

speed ~to be less than the synchronous speed. The difference between the

two speeds is characterised by the dimensionless quantity called slip s.

s = synchronous speed - rotor speed synchronous speed

2.3 Torque Speed Characteristic of Induction Motor

Although the controller described here uses switching. techniques the

' starting point for motor performance analysis is to conside~ its behaviour

when fed with sinusoidal supplies. For this P¥rpose it is helpful to study

the equivalent circuits of the motor shown in Figure 2.2.

9 The basic per-phase equivalent,circuit at a slips is shown in Figure

' 2.2a. Considering the motor reduced to standstill with the mechanical power

the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 2.2b. By referring the motor

impedances to the stator, and assuming the transformer to be ideal, the

equivalent circuit shown in Figure 2.2c is obtained. Finally, by applying

Thevenin's theorem, the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 2.2d is obtained,

where

E1 = input voltage per phase

Assuming the power required for the core loss is included in the

mechanical output, the stator current/phase is:

The torque developed by the motor is calculated by equating the

Figure 2.3 shows the relationship between slip and torque at a fixed

frequency. When driving the induction machine above its synchronous speed

by an external means, the polarity of the induced voltage and current is

reversed, the slip s is negative and the machine generates current back to

the a.c. system. The normal operating region for the motor is between

synchronous speed (s:O) and the pull-out torque at point A. The maximum

pull-out torque is found by differentiating equation (2.4) with respect to s

and equating to zero, giving the slip for maximum torque as

(2.5)

and by substituting this in equation (2.4), the maximum torque as,

(2.6)

Equations (2.5) and (2.6) show that the rotor resistance does not

effect the maximum torque produced by the motor, but only the speed or slip

at which this occurs. If for simplicity the stator parameters are

neglected, the equations for the current and torque reduce to:

I = (2.7)

and

T = q

small Toes. Referring to figure·2.3, the operating region for motor action

is between zero speed (s~1) and synchronous speed (scO). For a slip greater

than 1, the machine is in a braking mode, a po·ssibility exploited either by

disconnecting the machine from the a.c. supply and injecting d.c. at the

stator terminals (dynamic braking) or by interchanging any two of the three

stator connections (plugging).

2.4 Induction Motors for Inverter Drives

2.4.1 Introduction

Induction motors have hitherto been considered as essentially

constant-speed motors though two major factors are altering this view.

These are:

i) The advent of static frequency inverters using thyristors or

transistors, which are becoming available at high power and reduced

cost.

ii) Greater awareness by industry or the economic benefits to be obtained

by using variable-speed drives for optimizing duty cycles and for

potential savings in energy.

As a result the induction motor is becoming increasingly used as a variable­

speed element for many applications.

2.4.2 Cage Motor Speed Control

With the cage motor only stator control techniques can be used to J

achieve·continuously variable torque/speed performance. A simple method is

to use series resistance controllers in the supply line to the motor.

Unfortunately this causes a power loss and is unsuitable for large motors,

since it leads to torque variations at the output shaft. Variable voltage

14

control (say using a variac) is much superior; however it is unsuitable for

use in a full range torque and speed control system. For the reasons given

below it is essential to have full control of both supply voltage and

frequency.

2.4.3 Motor Performance on Variable-Frequency supplies

Figure 2.4 shows the torque/speed characteristics at a reduced

voltage and frequency values with a constant flux rate. These

characteristics show that the maximum torque decreases when working at low

frequencies due to the change in motor reactance and the large percentage

resistive volt-drop. Hence voltage boosting is used around 25 Hz to

maintain the torque-speed characteristic above the full load torque of the

motor. Saturation must not occur in the magnetic circuit when specifying

voltage boosting, which leads to an unacceptable electric noise and losses.

To run the induction motor direct-on-line may demand six times the

full-load current at rated frequency and voltage, hence inverter starting is

normally at reduced voltage and frequency. This increases the torque per

amp at locked rotor conditions; full-load torque can be obtained for

approximately full-load current as shown in Figure 2.5. The voltage and

frequency are then increased together to maintain air-gap flux while the

motor is accelerating to operating frequency. This procedure limits

operation of the motor to the stable part of the speed-torque characteristic

only, i.e. the section between no load (slip:O) and ·maximum pull out torque

as shown in Figure 2.6.

2.4.4 Variable-Voltage Supply

. varying the supply voltage. Thyristors may be used in the fully-controlled

arrangement shown in Figure 2.8.a, where firing delay of the thyristors

removes sections of the supply voltage, so reducing the r.m.s. value of

voltage to the load. Waveforms associated with such voltage regulation are

shown in Figure .2.8.b. However, referring to Figure 2.7, it is clearly

shown that only a limited amount of speed variation can be obtained.

2.4.5 Constant Torgue Control

This type of speed control keeps the rotor flux constant for a wide

range of speed, which means maintaining the ratio of voltage and frequency

constant. The approximated formula for the magnetic flux produced at the

air-gap of the motor is given by

10 2.5 Pulse Width Modulation

18

Figure 2.10 shows a basic PWM system where two inputs applied to the

comparator consist of a signal and a carrier. The resulting output of the

modulator is a width-modulated reference frequency pulse-train. Hence, the

basic principle of PWM is the control of the duty-cycle of a switching

waveform by an analog signal such that the average voltage of ·the switching

waveform is proportional to the signal voltage.

The behaviour of the modulator for different input signals is shown

in Figure 2.11. With zero input signal, the output of the modulator is a

square wave having a corresponding zero average value(Figure 2.11.b).

However, if the input is positive the output waveform mark increases whilst

the space decreases; for negative values the converse is true.

11-12 2.6 P.W.M. Techniques

2.6.1 Introduction

There are three distinct approaches to formulate PWM switching

strategies. The first, and the one which has been most widely used because

of its ease of implementation using analogue techniques, is based on natural

sampling techniques. Regular sampling switching strategy, the second

method, is advantageous when implemented using digital or microprocessor

techniques. The third approach is that of optimal PWM switching strategy

based on the minimisation of defined performance criteria (such as

elimination or minimisation of particular harmonics).

2.6.2 Natural Sampling Techniques

Two types of modulation methods are used when employing natural

sampling techniques in analogue implemented PWM inverter. The first one,

illustrated in Figure 2.12, uses a sawtooth reference wave, producing single

Page 37: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

17

edge modulation where one of the edges of the pulses occurs at constant

intervals of time. The second type, which uses a triangular wave as a

reference, produces double edge modulation(Figure 2.13).

Natural sampling has two disadvantages; firstly the centre of the

pulses are not equidistant or spaced uniformly and secondly it is not

possible to define the width of the pulses using analytic expressions.

Indeed it is possible to show that the width of the pulses can be

only defined using a transcendental equation of the form

(2.10)

where

tp = the width of the pulse

t1 & tz = switching instants

M.sinwmt is the input signal

Tc = the repetitive time of the carrier ·

13 2.6.3 Regular Sampling

This kind of sampling is now very widely used employing digital

circuits and microprocessor techniques. Two methods are employed, the~r

general features being given in Figure 2.14 (asymmetrical sampling) and

Figure 2.15 (symmetrical sampling). The asymmetric method of sampling for a

two-level pulse width modulator shows that the amplitude of the modulating

signal('a') is first sampled and then stored by the hold circuit. This

maintains each sample at the sampled level until the next sample arrives, and

so on(waveform 'b'). This is compared with the carrier signal ('c'); as a

Page 38: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

18

result the points of intersection give the switching edges of the width

modulated pulses ('d'), where the width of pulses are proportional to the

amplitude of the signal frequency ('a'), In this type of modulation the

leading and the trailing edges of each pulse are determined using two samples

of the modulating wave, Therefore each edge is modulated by a different

amount. The width of the asymmetrically modulated pulse may be defined in

terms of these sampling times: thus

(2.11)

In the sYmmetric modulation only one sample is used to determine the

pulse-width, therefore both edges of the pulse are modulated equally. The

width of the pulse may be defined in terms of the sampled value of the

modulating wave at time t1

2.6.4

tp = 'lll2 [1 + M sin(wmtl >]

14-15 Optimal P.W.M. switching strategy

(2.12)

Optimised PWM switching strategies are usually generated by first

defining a general PWM waveform in terms of a set of switching angles and

then determining these angles using numerical analysis methods on a mainframe

computer. The purpose of this approach is to maximise a specified

performance criteria, while at the same time .eliminates a number of harmonics

or torque pulsations etc.

Figure 2.16 illustrates a particular optimised PWM waveform where the

switching angles, based on numerical analysis, produce mirror image quarter

cycle waveforms,

2.7 Power Switching Devices

There are two main types of power switching devices used in power

electronics inverters, thyristors and transistors. 18

Traditionaliy thyristors

have been used for these applications mainly due to their high voltage high

current handling capacity. However they need an associated auxiliary circuit

including commutation capacitors and auxiliary thyristors; further their

switching speeds are limited. Recent developments have resulted in a

'1.7-18 . modified thyristor, the Gate-turn off (GTOJ type, now being used extensively

for inverter applications. The significant advantages of the GTO are higher

switching speeds and elimination of the need for commutation capacitors and

auxiliary thyristors.

The other switching device, the power transistor, can be classified

into two main types. The first, the bipolar transistor, is well known and

widely used, having high voltage and reasonably high current ratings.

Unfortunately these are much less robust than thyristors and usually have to

incorporate protection circuits to prevent device failure in high power

applications. 1$-25

The second type is the power Field Effect Transistor (FETJ, which is

now becoming increasingly popular because they are fast, easy to use,

efficient and reliable.

2.8 Basic PWM Inverter

The basic 3-phase PWM inverter using thyristors as switches is shown

in Figure 2.17.a, the switching condition sequence of each thyristor and the'output

Inverter techniques and their

electronic implementation are discussed in detail in chapter 3 of this

thesis.

3 Inverter Design

3.1 Overview

The basic transistorised three phase bridge inverter shown in Figure

3.1 comprises six power transistors T1 TO T6 and six diodes D1 to D6. The

inverter operates such that the direct voltage supply is chopped and applied

sequentially to the stator windings of the induction motor. The motor

behaves like a filter, responding mainly to the fundamental of the voltage

applied to its stator windings. Hence the current flowing in the motor

approximates closely to the sine wave, with the closeness of the

approximation increasing as the switching frequency is raised. For correct

operation, transistors 1, 3 and 5 are driven by a 3-phase signal train while

transistors 2, 4 and 6 are driven by a delayed, inverted version of these

signals (Figure 3.2). Only four transistors are shown here in order to

keep the diagram clear. Diodes D1 to D6 (Figure 3.1) are necessary to allow

electromechanical energy in the stator windings to return to the supply rails

when using dynamic braking methods.

Inverter drives for cage motors can be split into three main

categories

(a) Quasi square wave

(b) Pulse width modulated wave inverters

(c) Current source inverters

3.2 Inverter Types

3.2.1 28

Quasi Sguare Wave

This type of inverter, Figure 3.3, is probably the easiest way of

producing a 3-phase supply from a static source. Three inverter outputs,

Page 53: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

32

u.v.w., are switched every half-cycle between the d,c, rail supply source to

give the output voltage waveforms shown in Figure 3.4. Each phase of the 3-

phase bridge switches as a square wave with equal mark-space ratio, switching

displacements being 120 degrees, As a result the voltage waveshape between

any two lines is as shown by VuN• the corresponding current waveforms being

those of Figure 3,5,

In order to produce constant torque in the induction motor when

driven by this type of inverter the de rail voltage must be set in accordance

with the drive frequency, varied so that it is directly

proportional to frequency; this requires the use of an additional circuit

which is typically either a phase-controlled rectifier at the input to the

inverter or a pulsed output arrangement, However, it is not practical to

operate the motor continuously at speeds below that equivalent to 5 Hz due to

27 high torque pulsations,

3.2.2 28

Pulse Width Modulated Wave Inverter

In this type of inverter the output voltage is synthesised by

switching the output devices at higher frequency and at the same time

modulating the on-off time of these switching devices (Figure 3.6), i,e,

controlling the mark-space ratio of the output voltage waveform. Several

variants of this system are in use including controllers that give a variable

carrier-frequency over the inverter operating range for improved performance.

PWM. sine-weighted inverters tend to produce better motor performance

characteristics and higher efficiency, These benefits are particularly

apparent below 5 Hz.

Figure 3,7 shows how the motor drive supply is produced by a pulse

width modulated equipment, these waveforms being typical of phase and line

Page 54: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

33

voltage. In this arrangement the output switching devices are used to

control. both the output voltage and output frequency. Hence the d.c. link

voltage can be a fixed value obtained from a diode bridge rectifier as shown

in Figure 3.8. A smoothing circuit is coupled to the diode rectifier to

give a constant d.c. voltage to the inverter bridge and to protect the diode

bridge due to the change rate of current di/dt.

29 Current Source Inverter

This circuit normally uses a controlled input rectifier followed by a

d.c. choke to provide a controlled current source as shown in the block

diagram of Figure 3.9.a. This is fed to an inverting stage which is used to

sequentially switch the controlled current from one phase of the induction

motor to the next. Since the inverter is supplied from a current source it

is protected from transient current surges arising from rapid load

variations.

Commutation of this inverter employing thyristors is achieved by a

charged capacitor network discharging in a resonant mode through the leakage

reactance of the motor. Hence, large voltage spikes can appear at the motor

due to the thyristor commutation as shown in Figure 3.9.b.

The disadvantages of this inverter are that it cannot be used to

control more than two motors in parallel, and motors using this control

method exhibit pulsating torques at low frequencies.

3.3 System and Circuit Design

3.3.1 System Structure

The typical system block diagram is shown in Figure 3.10. The

incoming 3-phase a.c. supply'is stepped down by a 3-phase auto-transformer to

Page 55: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

an r.m.s. voltage of 115V. This voltage is rectified and smoothed to

produce about 160V and this is fed to the three-phase inverter via a current-

sensing circuit, The inverter chops the d.c, to give an output of 160V

peak-to-peak pulse width modulated at a maximum frequency 1 kHz. This

output is fed to the a,c, motor which responds mainly to the envelope of the

PWM switching frequency.

The six PFET switches in · the inverter are under the command of a

waveform-generation circuit which determines the conduction time of each

switch, Because the control electrodes of the six switches are not at. the

same potential, the outputs· of the waveform-generation circuit must be

isolated and buffered. A low-voltage power supply feeds the low-power

signal processing circuit, and a further low-voltage power supply drives a

transistorised switch-mode isolating stage to provide floating power supplies

to the gate drive circuits; The complete circuit diagram of the inverter

driver system is shown in Figure 3.11.

3.3.2 Power Stage General Description

3.3.2.1 Introduction

This section is concerned with the design aspects of the switching

30 voltage source inverter to amplify the pulse width modulated signals and feed

them to the motor,

·rn Figure 3.12 the PWM bridge inverter circuit is shown. Each arm of

the inverter consists of a Power FET (PFET), a commutating fast recovery

diode connected in anti-parallel and a series reverse recovery one to prevent

the power FET body-drain diode from conducting(discussed later).

Page 56: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

35

3,3.2.2 Power FET

The advantages of PFET are as follows: 31

(a) Simple drive circuit: driving of the Power FET is easy and simple

(b)

(c)

when compared to other switching devices. 32

Fast switching times: the rise and fall times are dependent on the

drive capability of the gate control circuits; nevertheless turn •on'

and 'off' times of 50 nsec are easily achieved.

33 Suitability for parallel operation; parallel operation of FETs can

be implemented because current sharing iS automatically produced by

the positive temperature coefficient of the Drain-Source •on'

resistance.

(d) No second breakdown

The major disadvantage of the Power FET in inverter systems is caused

by its excessive reverse recovery time after carrying reverse current.

Owing to the structure of the Power FET (Figure 3.13) a body forward diode is

created between the source and the drain of the transistor; this exhibits a

low forward voltage drop due to its large area •

. Consider the situation of Figure 3.14. Here a single branch of an

inverter is shown with the load in the centre and the critical moment in the

switching cycle. If the load current flows in the inverse diode of the top

transistor as a freewheeling current and the bottom transistor is again tuned

'on', then the full supply voltage is present at the bottom transistor.

Throughout the reverse recovery time of the inbuilt inverse diode of the top

transistor the bottom transistor conducts not only the load current but also

the reverse-recovery current; this inevitably leads to destruction of the

lower transistor. Added to this, the bottom transistor must also handle the

Page 57: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

36

full intermediate-circuit voltage during this time. There are also

secondary effects arising from the parasitic npn structure in the transistor

which, at high currents, can destroy the upper transistor.

As the result of that it is essential to use an external, fast

34 recovery, anti-parallel diode with each transistor. Unfortunately, during

reverse recovery action, the internal (transistor) diode exhibits a lower

voltage drop than the external one and so still carries reverse current. It

then becomes necessary to prevent any reverse· current flow through the

transistor, this being accomplished through the use of a diode connected in

series with the source terminal of each transistor. This is called the

'reverse recovery diode'.

Figure 3.15 shows the behaviour of the upper transistor current and

phase voltage at one of the three branches after using a series diode

blocking the inverse diode of the Power FET. Figure 3.16 shows the free-

wheeling current and the phase voltage of the same transistor. Observing

both figures exhibits that while the transistor is on the freewheel diode is

'off' and vice versa.

35 3.3.2.3 Power Devices Design Criteria

The main power switching transistor and the recovery diode are

selected initially on the basis of current rating IT (av) and IF(av)

respectively, and peak voltage ratings VoRM and VRRM where:

IT(av) = average forward current through transistor

IF(av) = average forward current through diode

= repetitive peak off-state forward voltage across

Page 58: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

- 37

transistor

VRRM = repetitive peak reverse voltage across diode

For the voltage ratings, assume a safe design figure is:

main transistor VoRM = main diode VRRM= Vdc (max)+50

For the worst case current ratings, assume that the current is approximated

by a half-wave rectified sinewave giving:

fi = Ir(av) = Im(max). • TI

The peak current of the transistor is the peak load current, and the

corresponding peak current of the diode is the sum of the peak load current

and the peak commutation current. The following approximation can be used

for the selection of the transistor:

ITRM = 5 • Ir (av)

where ITRM is repetitive peak forward current through the transistor, and

for the main diode:

IFRM "'20 • Ir(av),

where IFRM is repetitive peak forward current through the diode. The

antiparallel and series diodes have the same characteristics. The design

parameters for power devices are listed in appendix AJ.

38

3.3.2.4. Power FET Driving Circuit

Driving Power MOS transistors is relatively easy,· The total power

~eeded is very small; all that must be provided is the capability to charge

and discharge the Gate-Source capacitance (typically between 1 and 2 nF) by a

few volts in a short time (typically less than 100 ns), This ensures that

the quality of the waveform is not degraded and that switching losses are

minimised, 36

. The six PWM signals generated by the dedicated LSI chip type HEF4752V

are coupled to the Power FETs gate driver stages via opto-couplers. Figure

3.17 shows a driver circuit coupled to the upper switch at one of the three

inverter branches. Note that the source terminal of the upper Power FETs

are connected to the inverter output and switch up and down at high voltage

rates, while _the PWM controller is referenced to zero volts,

The output side·of each opto-coupler is powered from one of the four

floating power supplies. The lower three stages share a common power

supply, as the source terminals of the three Power FETs are all at about the

same potential; each of the three upper stages has its own floating power

supply.

Referring to Figure 3.17, the isolated signal from the opto-coupler

is coupled to the gate terminal of the Power FET by quad CMOS Schmitt circuit

augmented by output transistors. This gives ·rise to a low impedance gate.

drive signal for the power switch, This feature is not required in the de

condition but is essential if fast switching operations are desired where the

inherent input capacitance of the gate circuit is a problem. This is

_further complicated by the Miller capacitance effect produced during device

switching.

The basic function of the PWM IC, (block diagram, Figure 3.18), is to

provide three complementary pairs of output drive waveforms which, when

applied to the six-element inverter, open and close the switching elements in

the.appropriate sequence to produce a symmetical three-phase output. The

output waveforms are thus six sinusoidally modulated trains of carrier

pulses, each pulse having both edges modulated; as a result the average

voltage output between any two output phases varies sinusiodally as shown in

Figure 3. 19.

This PWM controller chip is supplied with an input clock frequency

that is always an exact multiple of the inverter output frequency. At lower

motor speeds the switching frequency is derived from higher multiples of this

in order to improve the pulse distribution; this which results in excellent

phase and voltage balance and consequent low motor losses. A 15-fold

carrier multiple is used only for highest motor speed range while 168-fold

carrier multiple is used at lowest motor speed range, Hysteresis between the

switching points is included to avoid jitter when operating in these regions,

this is clearly shown in Figure 3.20.

The induction motor is governed by the general expression

V = N d~ d't'

so that to maintain constant flux, the voltage-time product Vt must be kept

constant, The IC controller automatically satisfies the requirement by

making the output voltage directly proportional to the output frequency.

Figure 3.21, which is a spectrum analysis of the PWM waveform as a function

of the drive signal frequency, shows this effect,

The IC controller sets i~s output in response to three input signals,

clocks FCT and VCT and logic signal CW. Maintaining VCT at its recommended

value and varying FCT controls the speed of the motor at constant flux rate

i,e, V/f constant, Varying VCT increases or decreases the modulation depth

of the fundamental frequency (Figure 3.22) and is used for voltage boosting,

The other control pin CW is used to control the direction of rotation of the

motor by altering the phase sequence RBY to RYB.

Figure 3,23 shows how the chip is coupled to the inverter through a

buffering circuit, Separate control logic provides the controlling signals

for the LSI Controller to set the output frequency and voltage supply to· the

motor. Figure 3.24 and Figure 3.25 are recordings of typical line and phase

voltages applied to the motor at a fundamental frequency of 60 Hz. Figure

3.26 shows the relation between the motor line current and voltage at a

fundamental frequency of 60 Hz.

3.3.3.2 Overcurrent Protection

One of the disadvantages of the voltage source inverter arises from

its low impedance source, which makes difficulty to protect the inverter from

overcurrent in case of shoot-through or short between inverter terminals,

Generally inverters may be provided with an overcurrent protection as

follows:

(a) Turning off all switching devices.

(b) Fusing

(c) Turning on all switching devices,

(d) Turning on or off additional switching devices external to the inverter,

(e) Current limiting reactor.

Page 62: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

41

(f) a.c. circuit breaker.

(g) d.c. circuit breaker •.

Combinations of the above items may be used in an inverter to achieve

37-38 the most effective overcurrent protection performance.

The prototype overcurrent protection circuitry provided with the

inverter detects the d.c. line current by means of a low value resistor

connected in series to the -ve d.c. rail as shown in Figure 3.27. In the

event of short circuit or shoot-through the protection circuit signals the

PWM controller chip and switches it 1off 1 • The overcurrent protection

circuit works in the following way: when the power supply is first switched

on the protection circuit provides a logic zero at the output Q, this being

fed to pin L of the controller chip, so turning it 'off'. When switch S1 is

set a logic 1 1 1 is provided at Q switches 1on 1 the PWM controller, and the

inverter is activated.

Current monitoring is carried out by R1, the detected voltage being

amplified by IC1 and applied to IC2. This is a comparator network. which

changes state at· a threshold level set by VR2. Thus when an overcurrent

condition is met the output of IC2 changes state , signalling the logic

circuit via the opto-coupler and resulting in switch-off of the PWM

controller.

Opto-isolation is used because the potential of the current detector

is different from the other controlling circuits. The PWM controller can

also be switched 'off' manually using switch S2.

A demonstration of the protection circuit in action is given in

Figures 3.28 and 3.29; here an inrush of the d.c. rail and motor line

currents caused by a step input command activate the protection circuits.

Figure 3.30 shows the resulting digital signal which is fed to the PWM

42

controller.

3.3.4 Power Supplies

3.3.4.1 Inverter Power Supply

The-rail d.c. voltage supply for the inverter is obtained from the

rectified, smoothed output of a 3-phase auto-transformer as shown in Figure

3.31. The equations for the smoother circuit are included in appendix A,

the design requirements being to supply 4 amps at d.c. with a voltage ripple

of approximately 1~, and meeting the following parameters;

Vdc(nom) = 155V

Vac(max) = 178.8V

Vdc(max) = 258.8V

The rectifier must be capable to withstand more than Vdc(max) for

worst case and a current of 4A. The function of the shunt resistor across

the bridge rectifier is to dissipate the electromagnetic power caused by

dynamic braking since this cannot be returned to the supply due to the

presence of the output rectifier. The other function of the 10 K shunt

resistor is to act as a discharge resistor for the smoothing capacitor.

3.3.4.2 Driver Power Supply

The requirement here is to provide-four isolated power supplies as

shown in the block diagram of Figure 3.32. Each of the three upper power

switches is provided with a floating power supply while the fourth power

supply provides +10V to the overcurrent protection circuit and the other

three power switches.

Figure 3.33 shows the switching mode power supply (SMPS) which

provides the control voltage supplies for the inverter. It operates as

follows;

Monostable oscillator IC1 generates a square wave at +5V and a

frequency

through an

of 200 KHz. Two transformers

emitter follower circuit, each

rectified by a single diode and smoothing

are coupled to the oscillator

secondary winding output being

capacitor, These supply a d,c,

voltage of 10 volts for the drivers of each power switch,

3.3.4.3 Control Circuit Power Supply

The control circuit (Figure 3.34) is designed to supply ± 15 volts

for the linear circuits and +5V volts for the microprocessor and the linear

circuits.

A standard power supply transformer, type MT 79FT is used, .having a

primary voltage rating of 240V .and two secondary windings rated 1A rms each.

The 15 volt tappings are used for the split regulated power supply ±15 volts.

Approximate calculations were used to assess the suitability of the

transformer, these being given in appendix A.2.

The 5 volts supply is provided from the rectified +15 volts through a

regulator type LM309K. This is capable of delivering currents in excess of

1A from a rectified input voltage in the range of 7 to 35 volts.

CHAPTER 4

4 Electronic Control Systems

4.1 Introduction

Two distinct types of electronic control systems have been developed

as part of this research project, an analogue controller and a

microprocessor-based digital unit. Each one of these has been employed with

specific research objectives in mind as follows:

(a) The analogue controller is required for:

•Testing the inverter-motor behaviour for variable input signals.

•Evaluation of the open-loop and closed-loop performance of the actuator

system,

•system identification (transfer\functon analysis) in the continuous time

domain.

•studying the effect of the overcurrent protection on acceleration/

deceleration performance of the actuator unit,

(b)'The digital controller is used primarily as the closed loop position

controller, However it also supports Man Machine Interfacing (HMI) with

the control system via a keyboard/display console and is essential in the

implementation and evaluation of the digital control algorithms and self­

tuning features.

4.2 The Analogue Controller

4.2.1 Functions and Facilities

(a) Functions:

•Provides protection features for the inverter under all operational

conditions

•provides constant-flux operation within the motor

64

*provides all signals required by the inverter LS1 PWM controller chip.

*Interfaces between the operator and the inverter-actuator unit.

(b) Facilities

*Adjustment of motor speed in both directions from zero to 1.5 times its

nominal speed

*Adjustment of motor (inverter) acceleration and deceleration rates.

*Limitation of regenerated power during speed deceleration to protect the

inverter against overvoltage.

*Adjustment of starting torque values via 'IR' compensation.

4.2.2 System Operation

The block diagram for the open loop system is shown in Figure 4.1,

and consists of the following sub-sections:

38-40 Circuit Operation and Design

(a) Speed Control Unit

65

The inverter is controlled using a soft start mode, this action being

carried out by the circuit of Figure 4.2. Demanded speed is set by

the potentiometer, VR1, its wiper voltage being applied to the comparator

IC1. IC1 output forms the input voltage VN to the integrator IC4,

giving a ramp voltage output (VI); this is also the feedback to the

noninverting input of IC•. Thus VI is ramped at a time constant

proportional to the resistor Rx, the feedback capacitor ex and the

acceleration/deceleration circuit reference voltages VR2 and VR3. The

output voltage VI is fed to the absolute value unit and also to the

direction detector circuit. The direction detector circuit output,

which is TTL compatible, is either a logic '1' or 'O' depending on the

polarity of VI; it is connected to the direction control pin of the PWM

control and so determines the direction of rotation of the motor.

(b) Absolute Value Unit.

The absolute value unit is employed to provide positive output voltages

to the voltage controlled oscillator for both +Ve and -ve~input voltages.

Its circuit is shown in Figure 4.3, where IC6 and its external components

act as a precision rectifier providing +Ve voltage only to IC7 amplifier.

Also fed to IC7 is the offset adjust voltage from VR2. This is used to

set the minimum required output voltage (VO) from IC7, its maximum output

being limited by VZ3. \The circuit characteristic is shown in Figure

4.4, with its behaviour under- transient conditions shown in Figure 4.5

(bottom trace). Here the speed selection has been changed from forward

to reverse direction. Also shown here is the behaviour of the motor

line current (top trace).

are generated by the MC14047 astable

The functions of the controlling clocks, veT, RCT and OCT are discussed in

Section 3.2.3.1. veT is kept constant at 300 KHz. RCT is fixed also

at 300 KHz, while OCT operates at a frequency of 600 KHz. These clocks

are generated by a monostable multivibrator circuitry employing the I.e.

chip type MC14047. V/F conversion is performed by the Me14046 phase

locked loop I.e., its transfer characteristic being that of Fig 4.7.

4.3 The Digital Controller

The digital controller can perform all the functions required by the

analogue one. However due to the programable nature of the unit it can be

made more flexible in operation, allowing the following functions and

facilities to be incorporated;

*Evaluation of various digital control algorithms

*Programmable Microcomputer-based control of the electric actuator

*Interactive man-machine interfacing, providing facilities for using the

VDU as a development system, and simplifying software debugging,

*Evaluation of parameters and data structures of the control algorithms,

*Development of Computer Aided Tuning (CAT) control strategies,

4.3.1 System Description

The closed-loop position control of the system is carried out

67

digitally using a microprocessor-based system. The system control algorithm

(Chapter 6) is implemented in software, while specialised hardware circuits

are used for plant and terminal interfacing.

Figure 4.8 gives block diagram or the system. Here the general purpose

microcomputer board is interfaced to a VDU for HMI operation to the inverter

via an interface board; actuator position sensor interfacing is made via an

analogue input section. The interface board provides all the necessary

signals required by the PWM controller chip, whilst the analogue input

section performs filtering and digitisation or the position feedback signal.

This signal is transferred to the microcomputer board where it is compared

with the required (demanded) position; any error is processed in accordance

with the preset digital control algorithm; finally the processor outputs

command signals to drive the actuator via the interface board until actual

and demanded positions are equal. The analogue commands, when used, are

generated by the microcomputer board via the analogue output section. HMI

interfacing to the microcomputer board is performed via the communication

section which transmits and receives data from both the VDU and the

microcomputer board.

4.3.2 Microcomputer Board Design and Operation

(a) The Microcomputer Section

The general purpose microcomputer section .hardware circuit diagram is

shown in Figure 4.9, based on a 3MHz 8085 41

microprocessor. The program

instructions are held in .a 16K byte Eraseable-Programable-Read-Only-42

Memory (EPROM) type 27128, which also stores preset data such as look-up

tables • Since the EPROM requires separate address and data buses, an 8-

. bit register 74LS373 is employed to demultiplex ADO-AD7 lines into

Page 90: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

68

separate address and data, AO-A7 and DO-D7 respectively, The Address-

Latch-Enable (ALE) signal of the 8085 selects the 74LS373'a output port

and remains there through the whole Central-Processing-Unit (CPU) machine

cycle, ~

An Intel 8155 Programable-Counter and Interface PCI chip provides

256-byte of Random-Access-Memory (RAM), three programmable Input/Output

(I/0) porta and a single programmable timer, This timer generates a 44

square wave signal needed by the 8251 Universal-Synchronous/Asynchronous-

Receiver-Transmitter (USART) and single pulses, which serves to interrupt

the microprocessor on RST 7,5 pin. The I/0 ports A,B and C provides

twenty two I/0 linea grouped into two separate 8-bit ports (Port A and

Port B) programmed either as input or output ports, whilst the third port

(Port C), which is 6-bit, programmed as an output port,

Additional RAM is fitted to the processor by using 8K-byte static 45

RAM (TC5565); this is employed for stack operations as well as data

extension and look-up tables.

All devices are memory mapped, address decoding being performed

in hardware.

Figure 4.9 shows the five most significant address lines (A11-

A15) of the 8085 which are employed to address other peripherals via 3~

to-8 decoder chip (74LS138) and 2-to-4 decoder chip (74LS155).

The microcomputer section is interfaced with the four other

sections via data bus, address bus, and ports A, B and C of the PCI.

When digitised data is to be· read from the analogue input section, the

PCI is selected, ports A and B are programmed as inputs, whilst port C is

programmed as an output port. When data is sent to the interface board

(command signals to control the inverter), the PCI is once more selected,

69

ports A and C being programmed as outputs.

Pull-up resistors of 4.7K each.are connected to the microprocessor's

address, data, and RD and WR lines.

(b) Analogue Input Section

The function of this section is to provide signal processing,

analogue to digital conversion of input analogue signals, supply of

reference voltages required by the microcomputer board, and loop-round

coupling of analogue output section back to the microcomputer section.

It consists of (Figure 4.10); 48

(1) Analogue-to-Digital-Converter (ADC) type 4145 Teledyne-Philbrick to

convert analogue signal to 12-Bit binary applied to the microcomputer

section. 47

(2) 8-channel multiplexer type H1-508A to allow multiple analogue signals to

be coupled to the ADC (selected sequentially).

(3) Appropriate reference voltages, which supplies d.c. reference voltages

required by some peripherals.

(4) Two analogue circuits, each consisting of two differential amplifiers and

a Low-Pass-Filter.

The analogue circuits are connected to channels one and two of

the multiplexer, channel one being the feedback signal from the

actuators's position sensor. Channel selection is made by the

microprocessor via port C of the PCI; 'this routes the appropriate

analogue signal· to the output of the multiplexer. Channel three is

connected to a 10V reference voltage supply, channel four being

connected to ground. Both channels are employed for calibration of the

ADC. Channels five and six are connected to the outputs of the Digital-

to-Analogue-Converter (DAC) of the analogue output section, being used

I . I

Page 92: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

70

when DAC auto-calibration is invoked using a wrap-round test. A

detailed explanation can be found in Section 7.4. To convert the

analogue signal the appropriate signal is first selected by the

multiplexer and the ADC is given a command signal to start conversion.

This procedure is accomplished by the microprocessor via Port C of the

PCI. At the end of conversion two signals are generated, one coupled to

interrupt RST 6.5 of the 8085, the other being connected to the MSB of

port C(8155). In this design interrupt action is not used; instead the

status bit (MSB) is checked (polled) for an indication of the end of

conversion state. Once a valid conversion is seen the processor reads

in the digital value from the ADC via ports A and B of the 8155.

A variety of reference voltages are needed in the analogue

circuits, as follows:

(a) +10V. - Reference for autocalibration features.

(b) +5V. - Reference for the ADC.

(d) -5v. - Supply for the ADC.

(c) 0.7V. - Offset for the DACs.

The primary reference voltage is generated from a precision

regulator chip which provides a stable 10 volt signal; this is divided to

produce the 5 volts supply, the actual signal to the system being

obtained from a voltage follower through an inverting amplifier. By

feeding the +5V reference through a unity gain inverting amplifier the

-5V signal is produced. The offset reference voltages are acquired from

these +5 volts references via a resistor network as shown in Figure 4.10.

(c) The Analogue Output Section

This section is employed for monitoring of the internal software and

for recording purposes.

Page 93: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

71

Figure 4.11 shows the circuit diagram of this section which comprises

of two DACs and analogue circuitry to buffer the output of the DACs 48

(AD7542). The buffered outputs are connected to the external connector

of the microcomputer board and also to channels five and six of the

multiplexer of the ·analogue input section. Offsets are deliberately

introduced into the buffer circuits so that software correction/

calibration techniques can be .implemented. Using this technique a

precise analogue output signal is generated, where the automatic

calibration compensates for drift in the analogue circuits with time and

temperature.

The 7542 precision 12-Bit multiplying DAC, has a simple, direct

interface to 8-Bit microprocessors. A clear input is connected to RESET

out of the 8085, which resets the DAC output to all zeros when powering

up the device. Loading the DAC is performed a nibble at a time into

input registers called low, mid and high. Each nibble is loaded into

the DAC as a normal write operation; when all three have been loaded the

DAC output is updated by writing a command to a fourth register.

(d) The Communication Section

Communications between the VDU and the microcomputer board is

achieved through the use of an asynchronous serial digital data-link.

This link partially conforms to Electronic 'Industries Association

(EIA)RS-232C standard.

Figure 4.12 shows the circuit diagram of the serial communication

subsystem which consists of an Intel 8251 USART and line

driving/receiving components. The 8251 converts parallel system data

from the microprocessor data-bus into serial format for transmission in

an asynchronous mode, and converts incoming serial data from a VDU

Page 94: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

72

terminal into parallel system data for collection by the processor. On

transmission· it adds start and stop bits and, if requird, a parity bit,

to the data byte. On reception it checks for message errors and removes

the appended bits. Transmitted data is converted from TTL level into

line levels by the line circuit, whilst the received data from the VDU is

converted to TTL levels.

Programming the 8251 is accomplished throughout a set of control

words which must be sent by the microprocessor to initialize the 8251 to

support the desired communication format. Selecting the 8251 followed

by a command word to reset the chip and then a control word which

programs the: BAUD . RATE, CHARACTER LENGTH, NUMBER OF STOP BITS,

SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATON, EVEN/ODD/OFF PARITY, etc. In

this design transfer of data to and from the USART is carried out in a

controlled fashion using polling of its status register. Information

concerning the state of the receiver and transmitter registers is held in

the status register; this enables the microprocessor to monitor serial

line signals.

Interface Board Design and Operation

It has been explained earlier in this chapter that the function of

this board is to provide all necessary inverter control signals under

microprocessor control. Figure 4.13 shows the block diagram of this board,

where data and address signals are input to the board from ports A and C

(respectively) of the 8155 as well as signal from the ON/OFF circuit. A 10 49

MHz local oscillator feeds the Intel 8254A Programmable-Interval-Timer (PIT~

which incorporates three independent 16-Bit Programmable counters (Figure

4.14). Two are employed to generate clock frequencies FCT and VCT and the

Page 95: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

73

remaining one used as the primary signal Cor OCT and RCT clocks. These

clocks are generated by down counters, stepping down the main local rrequency

using two 4-Bit binary counter chips.

The clock timers are initialised by selecting the PIT and programming

it into the desired working mode, then loading the data to generate the

required frequency. Any changes in clock frequencies can be implemented by

sending the appropriate data words to the PIT.

A latch circuit consisting or two D-type Flip-Flop chips (74LS74)

hold signals feeding the current limiter and the inverter circuits. The

peripheral and the latch circuits are mapped into the sortware bus address

structure using local decoders.

The latch circuit input, connected to the data-bus (DO-D3), controls

the inverter 'on' and 1ofC 1 switching action and also selects the direction

of the motor.

Note that a hardware power-on reset is incorporated in this circuit.

When power is switched on to the board, this circuit resets the PWM

controller, 'tripping' the latch circuit, thus clearing its outputs. As a

further precaution data is written to switch 'off' the inverter via the

ON/OFF circuit under software control as shown in the timing diagram (Figure

4.15). In normal circumstances the inverter is switched • • on and • off under

processor control. However iC an inverter overcurrent condition is signalled , ,

the latch changes state, switches ofr the inverter, and locks itself into

this state. It can be reset either by giving a software generated command

from the processor or manually using the analogue controller ON/OFF circuit.

The input and output lines of the interface board are bufCered using

octal-bus transceiver (74LS245), and octal 3-state driver (74LS244)

respectively; all lines are pulled up to 5V. using 4.7 K resistors.

5 CONTROL SYSTEMS

5.1 Open and Closed Loop Control

The type of plant considered here operates in a continuous

mode,having inputs, outputs and disturbances which are continuous in real

time. Therefore systems which exhibit discrete states, such as conveyer

belt transportation. methods, are excluded from evaluation and analysis in

this work.

Continuous systems are dynamic ones and may be modelled in open-loop

form as shown in Figure 5.1a. Provided all plant states can be determined

and that disturbances are also deterministic then it may be possible to

manipulate the input states in order to attain desired output conditions.

As such no attention is paid to the current output of the plant.

open

fails

Wherever possible it is preferrable to operate control systems in

loop mode, Unfortunately the output performance so attained often

to meet system requirements, especially where the criteria are

demanding, In such situations closed-loop control must be

illustrated in Figure 5.1b,

used, as

This type detects the current state of the output, and generates an

error proportional to the difference between the input and output. Ideally

closed-loop control system drives the output until it equals the input,

reducing the error to zero, Any differences between the actual and desired

output will be automatically corrected, thus compensating for the effect of

disturbances on the system,

Page 111: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

5.2 Performance Criteria

5.2.1 Introduction

88

The purpose of a closed-loop control system is to minimise the error

between the system output c(t) and the input signal in the presence of

disturbanoes(Figure 5.2). In fact the most desirable response is. one in

which the outp~t is identical to the input at all times; unfortunately

because of the nature of dynamic systems, it is not possible to achieve this

in practice, The actual performance of closed-loop control systems is

generally a function of stability, sensitivity, measurement accuracy, system

dynamics and disturbances, Performance criteria are generally defined in

the time domain, relating to steady state and transient conditions, these

points being discussed further in section 5.2.4. such criteria are usually

specific to application, certain characteristics being more important in some

systems than in others.

5.2.2 Stability

A closed-loop control system must be stable under all operational

conditions; these include varying command signals, disturbance anywhere

within the loop, power supply variations,

parameters.

and changes of the ~oop

In general the control engineer needs not only to stablise the system

but must also establish the .degree ·of stability of the closed-loop.

Referring to Figure 5.1b, the transfer function of the closed-loop system

is:

G(s) C(s) = __ _:___ ( 5.1 )

Page 112: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

89

If G(S) H(S) assumes a value or -1 at any frequency (i.e. unity gain

at a phase lag or 180 degrees), then the denominator equals zero and the

feedback system oscillates. The margin by which G(s) H(s) is short or unity

magnitude at -180 degrees or phase, is defined as the "gain margin". In a

stable system, -two conditions may occur:

(a) Gain greater than unity,· phase never achieves -180 degrees.

(b) Gain falls below unity before the phase has attained a lag or 180

degrees.

Condition (b) is illustrated in Figure 5.3. The-margin by which it

is short or -180 degrees at unity gain is the "phase margin" (Figure 5.3).

From these values the closed loop dynamic performance can be deduced.

5.2.3 Sensitivity

The closed-loop system should be insensitive to changes in system

parameters: as plants age, their dynamic behaviour changes, that is, G(s) or

H(s) change. Thus a certain degree of insensitivity to these changes is

essential to the control system.

The sensitivity or a system's transmittance Trn with respect to the

characteristics or a given element K1 is defined as

= (5. 2)

To illustrate the concept or sensitivity, consider the typical

control system shown in Figure 5.4 in which K1 represents the input

scaling/shaping circuits, etc., K2 represents the transfer function or the

feedback transducer, and G represents the transfer function or the open-loop

system.

Page 113: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

90

From the equations derived in Appendix A.4, it illustrate that K1 and

K2 are highly critical and therefore they must possess precise and stable

characteristic with time and temperature.

5.2.4 51 System Performance

5.2.4.1 Introduction

Dynamic system testing is normally carried out by subjecting the

system to a variety input of test signals and noting the corresponding output

response. As a result, an assessment can be made whether or not the system

behaviour is satisfactory; if not the controller parameters are modified to

improve the response.

In general the basic input test functions used are those which can be

easily interpreted and analysed mathematically. These input functions may

represent a severe form of disturbance; for instance the most common signal

used for transient response studies is the step function. · This·function

(Figure 5.5a) is very widely used in practice and is simple to handle

mathematically. Another function which is more relevant for some practical

physical systems, such as those possessing high inertia input

characteristics, is the ramp function (Figure 5.5.b). This would be

applicable when step function testing leads to non-linear behaviour or where

the normal input function to the system is velocity rather than a position

demand. A parabolic input function i.e. an acceleration · signal (Figure

5.5.c), is typically used in weapon servo tracker systems.

One other type of input function, the unit impulse function, is of

considerable analytical importance. This is defined to be a function whose

area is unity and pulse duration tends to zero (Figure 5.5.d). However,

impulse response can be obtained indirectly using random input and

Page 114: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

91

correlation techniques. Other forms of input function are sinusoidal

52 signals, and statistical signals such as white noise.

The first three input functions mentioned above oan be implemented in

practice to check how the system actually responds to the input signal, while

the fourth function (unit impulse) is unlikely to be used as it generally

takes practical real systems into nonlinear modes of operation.

The signal considered in this section are the step input and the

sinuso~dal (f~equenoy response) function.

5.2.4.2. Step Input Function

A typical set of the responses are shown in Figure 5.6, this being a

form of behaviour widely met in servo systems when subjected to a step

input. . Restricting ourselves to a predominant second-order system the

response shown in Figure 5.7 oan be considered is two parts:

(a) . Dynamic Performance

(b) Statio Performance

(a) Dynamic Performance: The major factors evaluated in dynamic testing are:

•overshoot: This is the maximum difference between the transient and

steady-state solution for a step function, and it is usually expressed a

a percentage of the step size.

*Delay Time Td: It is defined as the time required for the response to

reach 50% of its final value.

*Rise Time Tr: This is usualy defined as the time taken to rise from

10~ to 90% of its final value.

•settling Time Ts: This is the time required for the response to· reach

and remain within a certain percentage limit of its final value.

Page 115: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

92

b) Static Performance: When the system response to a step input reaches the

steady state, i,e. after all transients have died out, the static

performance is defined in terms of the steady-state error.

5.2.4.3 Freguency Response Function

This f~nction, which represents the response of the system in the

frequency domain, is of major importance as it is easy to apply, where

graphical methods can be used to determine stability, and it offers a good

basis for synthesizing systems. Furthermore it indicates clearly the type

of change required to modify the dynamic behaviour of 53

the system. The

response of a linear system to an input sine wave is sinusoidal the same

frequency but generally with a shift of time and change in amplitude, The

ratio of the output to input is defined as the transfer function, its

variation with frequency being defined as the system frequency response. In

practice the frequency domain response (gain and phase), is evaluated by

applying a sine wave· test signal to the input and measuring the output steady

state response (i,e, after all transients have died out).

Ari ideal system has constant gain and no phase shift over the

complete operating frequency range. Such an ideal characteristic cannot be

achieved practically. Figure 5.8 shows a normalized transfer function of a

predominant second-order system. It shows gain variation in-band with only

Digital Control

Why Digital Control

Virtually all servo control functions can be implemented using

analogue (continuous) methods. Such techniques are straightforward where

the plant to be controlled is. relatively simple: however where non-

linearities are inherent in the response, where mathematical calculations

have to be performed, or where distinctly different operating modes have to

be catered for the analogue system becomes quite complex. Not only may the

cost become prohibitive but in some instances it may be impossible to achieve

the desired control performance, In these circumstances digital methods are

an attractive alternative but, until the last decade, digital controllers

have been much too costly, large or unreliable,

This has all changed with the advent of the microprocessor. Digital

control in continuous systems can be implemented using relatively low cost

single-board computers, this being on a par with their analogue counterparts.

Software costs have to be considered but these, in standard units, are a

relatively small portion of the total expense, Hence, for even the simplest

loop control applications digital control hardware is competitive with

analogue unit, Figure 5.9.a,b show an example of continuous and digitally

controlled system respectively.

94

5.3.2 Discretization

There are many methods of discretization of analog transfer functions.

The most used methods are the following:

~

a) Impulse invariant transformation (z-transform).

b) Impulse invariant transformation and artifical hold.

c) Mapping of differentials.

d) Bilinear transformation.

e) Bilinear transformation and frequency prewarping.

f) Matched z-transform.

55 An assesment of the above methods has been done, comparing the performance

of a discretized controller with that of analog design; this showed that for

general use the best discretization method is the bilinear transformation. In

particular, this method performed well even 1for slow sampling rates.

A major decision in using a digital controller is to choose the sampling

rate. Ultra fast sampling does not produce good closed loop performance as

increasing the sampling rate (T ~ 0), the discrete processing will not

asymptotically converge to an analog output, because this requires an infinitely

long word length. This puts a definite· upper bound on sample rates. On the

other hand the sampling theorem as developed states that a sampled continuous

signal may be reconstructed from its samples if, and only if, the frequency

contents of the signal is lower than ws/2. However digital control system with

56 such slow sampling rates give totally unacceptable responses.

Although some work has been done on the selection of sampling rates ·in

control 57

systems, generally it is still a matter of engineering judgement, a

typical figure being that of ten times the closed loop bandwidth.

5.4 PID Controller

The most widely used control algorithm in industrial process and

servo control is' the proportional plus integral plus derivative (PID)

controller. Although the PID control algorithm is easily implemented using

microcomputers, the control coefficients must be carefully selected to ensure

that the operating system is stable.

Figure 5.10 shows the block diagram of an analog PID controller

acting on an error signal e(t) to give an output u(t). The transfer fUnction

of this controller can be written as

G(s) - IJ:sJ- K Ki + sKd - E(s)- P + s (5.3)

and the corresponding time-domain relation is given in the form,

I

u(t) = Kp e(t) + Kd :~!tl + K;f(t)dt (5.4) 0

where u(t) is the actuating control signal at the PID controller output and,

e(t) is the error signal. The proportional control simply multiplies the

. error signal by a constant Kp, the integral control multiplies the integral

of e(t) by K; , and the derivative control generates a signal which is

proportional to the time defivative of the error signal. The main task in

the design of the controller is to select the value of Kp, K; and Kd to meet

the required performance criteria.

The simplest form of control, a signf~ term controller, is one in which

Page 119: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

96

the error signal e(t) is multiplied by a constant K1 to produce the input

control signal to the process as shown in Figure 5.11. This arrangement is

called a proportional controller. Figure 5.12 shows responses of a

predominantly second order system, where for a low value of K1 the response

is over-damped. By increasing K1, the response of the system becomes very

rapid and underdamped; ultimately if K1 is large enough instability is

likely to result (Figure 5.12). However, low gain systems exhibit sizeable

steady-state errors as shown in response 1 in Figure 5.13. Thee fore

integral control is introduced to minimise this steady-state error while

still using a low value of Kp. Varying the gains of Kp and G varies the

degrees of overshoot and rise time response of the system as illustrated by

responses 2, 3 and 4 in Figure 5.13. To reduce the overshoot anticipatory

action can be used, i.e., a derivative control which provides a correcting

effort proportional to the slope of the time variation of the error e(t)

(response 5 of Figure 5.1~

The integral term in equation 5.4 can be calculated by using the

CHAPTER 6

6 EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES

6.1 Introduction

Control systems may be classified in general as linear or non-linear

(Bang-Bang), Normally the loop controller (Figure 6,1) is connected in

cascade with the forward portion of th·e loop and is used to compensate the

system performance in terms of stability, steady state holding, and transient

(dynamic) performance. Typically phase-lag, phase-lead, lag-lead and PID

techniques are used as compensation method.

This chapter describes the practical method for obtaining the

transfer function of the plant (Inverter-Motor/Actuator) and shows how this

information is used to deduce the compensation (control) techniques needed

for satisfactory closed loop performance. These are implemented ·digital

PID controller, the control algorithm being executed by software employing

the digital procedure described in section 4.3. The final operational

control algorithm is installed using computer aided tuning techniques which

enable the operator to meet the required static and dynamic performance

criteria of the electric actuator system, In order to generate the set of

tuning rules for the controller a digital simulation for the system was

carried out; this is described in Appendix (C).

6.2 Analogue Control System Performance

6.2. l Open Loop Performance

The analogue controller, described in section 4,2 was used to drive

the plant in order to derive its open loop transfer function (Figure 6.2).

Here a sinewave signal is applied to the analogue controller while the plant

output response is taken from the position sensor ( potentiometer) coupled to

Page 131: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

107

the actuator's shaft. For these tests, restrictions were imposed on both

test signal amplitude and frequency in order to ensure linearity of

operation. The minimum frequency was restricted to 0.04 Hz, set by the

stroking length of the actuator, whilst the maximum value was limited by the

current detector circuit (approximately 1.3 Hz). · The signal amplitude was

restricted to t2.5 volts to avoid velocity saturation of the motor.

Figure 6.2 shows the system configuration for the open loop transfer

function test of the system. Here a transfer function analyser (TFA) is

used to produce the frequency response plots (gain and phase) of the plant;

the effect of the analogue controller is negligible. It is fed by two

signals, one, from the signal generator, is the input to the system whilst

the other is obtained from the feedback sensor. Correlation calculations of

these two signals give the gain and phase responses of the plant. Figures

6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 are t~pical of the time response measurements of input

signal, motor speed and shaft position. It can be seen that as .the input

frequency is increased the stroke of the shaft reduces, but its phase

relationship (relative to the input signal) remains constant at -90 degrees.

These tests show that the system behaves essentially as an integrator with a

gain characteristic of -20 dB/decade and a constant phase lag of 90 degrees

(Figure 6.6) although an extra lag component is beginning to show at the

higher frequency levels. From this test it is still ,not clear how the

system behaves at lower frequencies although this can be deduced from the

information available concerning the system. The input signal must be

reduced to a low value to test the system at low frequencies in order to

limit the actual stroking length of the actuator during the test. However it

is not recommended to do this because the signal to noise ratio will be low.

Hence a closed loop test is carried out to obtain full frequency response

Page 132: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

108

data.

A series of transient response tests were carried out to complement

the frequency response analysis. The results obtained, Figure 6.7, show

that while the motor runs at constant speed, the shaft position change has a

ramp characteristic, i.e. the actuator behaves as an integrator.

6.2.2 60

Closed Loop Performance

The closed loop test for the system was carried out by inserting a

unity gain error amplifier (Figure 6.8) circuit between the feedback sensor

and the analogue controller as shown in Figure 6.9 and injecting a fixed

amplitude variable frequency sine wave test signal. With the TFA connected

as shown, the input and output signals of the system are correlated to give

the closed loop gain and phase response (Figure 6.10). The input signal was

restricted to t5 volts to ensure linearity of operation. Testing was

carried out in two stages; the first test covers the upper band of

frequencies (0.05- 1.8 Hz, Figure 6.10) arid the second starts at 0.02 Hz and

finishes at 0.1 Hz (Figure 6.11). In practice it was difficult to perform

frequency response testing below 0.0~ Hz; however de testing established that

the system had a closed loop gain of one (i.e. zero dB) at low frequencies.

Hence it is clear that the closed loop bandwidth of the system (-3. dB gain)

is 0.0355 Hz. According to the results obtained, the mathematical model for

the open loop transfer function is

G(s) = 1 sT

where ~ is the time constant of the system.

(6.1)

Page 133: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

109

The closed loop transfer function for a unity feedback gain is

G(s) = 1 (6.2) 1 •ST

This is first order lag system having unity gain at de and a characteristic

of -20dB/decade at frequencies higher than the -3dB cut-off frequency. The

phase lag of the system increases with the increase of the test signal. Note

the actual values of the phase shown in Figures 6.10, 6.11 must be modified;

180 degrees must be subtracted from the recordings to obtain the true phase

lag.

Typical results obtained during closed loop frequency response

testing are shown in Figure 6.12, 6.13 and 6.14 comprising input signal

(upper trace), motor speed (medium trace) and shaft position (lower trace)

for different test frequencies.

Preliminary studies of the dynamic behaviour of the system were

carried out using step and ramp inputs. Typical results obtained are shown

in Figures 6.15 to 6.18. Figure 6.15 shows the behaviour of the system for

step input command with the system controller set for unity gain. This

response shows that the system time constant is approximately 5 sec., whilst

that calculated from the frequency response tests is 4.48 sec.

Theoretically in a closed loop linear system there should be no

steady state error if an integrator is present in the loop. In practice

non-linear effects must be considered, in this case the main problem being

that of stiction in the mechanical coupling. Figure 6.15 shows the system

response having about 5% steady state error, reduced to 2% when the

controller gain is doubled (Figure 6.16). Techniques for eliminating this

using a digital control algorithm are described in section 6.3.

Page 134: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

110

The second input function employed for testing the system is the

ramp input. Figure 6.17 shows the system behaviour to a ramp input, where

the output of the system (position) follows the input ramp with a constant

steady state error. This error is inversely proportional to the gain of the

system (Figure 6.18).

A photograph of the experimental set-up of the analogue controller

and the inverter is shown in Figure.6.19.

6.3 Digital Control System Performance

6.3.1 Introduction

The digital control system test arrangement consists of (Figure

6.20)

* Digital controller Unit (See Section 4.3)

* Inverter controller (Section 3.3.3).

* Actuator and position sensor (Section 1.4).

* Visual Display Unit (VDU).

A photograph of the digital controller is shown in Figure 6.21.

This differs from the analogue controller in two major ways; firstly

the use of digital software techniques for control, secondly the inclusion of

a VDU to facilitat.e man-machine interfacing.

In this design a discrete 3-term (PID) control algorithm is

implemented in software on an 8 bit microprocessor. The software is written

mainly in CORAL66 but assembly language is used for certain processor

specific functions, including interrupts.

The VDU provides a powerful method of interfacing with the system,

enabling the operator to

I Mo~ify parameters and data structures of the control algorithms.

6.3.2 The Digital PID Controller

The general form of a 3-term PID controller used in continuous data

controlled systems is described in Section 5.4. Noteng that however, by

setting various coefficients to zero a one or two term, or a 'floating'

controller may be implemented. Figure 6.22 shows the block.diagram of the

digital PID controller used here, where the control formula of the

controller is: (see equation 5.,0) '

(6.4)

This can be written in the form:

u(nT)=U((n-1lT)+A e(nT) +8 e((n-1)T)+(e((n-2)T) (6.5)

The control variable U(nT) in equation 6.5 depends upon the present value of

the error signal e(nT), the previous values of the control variable at time

(n-l)T and previous error values at times (n-l)T and.(n-2)T.

The digital controller,of Figure 6.23, acts in the following way:

When a set point is introduced through the VDU, the controller reads the

actual position of the actuator, compares them, and calculates the resulting

error. The software control algorithm calculates the appropriate control

output which sets the speed of the motor via the interface board and the

Page 136: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

112

inverter. This drives the shaft in a direction to reduce the error, and at

a speed which is proportional to this error. A sampling rate of 20mSec is

used to accomodate high gain (and thus wide bandwidth) operation. This time

of 20mSec is just in excess of that required for the software calculations

(using floating point operation) and the ADC conversion time.

Practical Results

The complete closed loop system was subjected to a series of time

response tests using a step and ramp input.

Figures 6.24 and 6.25.

Typical results are shown in

Only a two-term (PID) controller was employed in the test as

simulation results, later confirmed by preliminary practical tests, showed

that the derivative action could be omitted from the control algorithm.

Figure 6.26 shows the step response of the system using only a unity gain

proportional controller, the integral term being set to zero. The response

shows a very small steady state error; this can be reduced by increasing the

gain. The stiction effect, which causes this kind of error, can be

minimised ·by boosting the voltage applied to the motor. Boosting, which is

implemented by software only at low error conditions, has the effect of

raising the motor torque and thus compensating for the stiction load. The

effect of boosting is exhibited in the step response of Figure 6.27. The

motor speed response for a step input is shown in Figure 6.28; note that the

speed rises very rapidly to its maximum value at the instant following the

step input in a ·very short time, then decreases exponentially with the

correction of the error value. When the actuator reaches its demanded

position, the drive supply is reduced to zero and the motor is effectively

switched off. However, if external positional disturbance occur,correction

occurs instantly (Figure 6.29).

Page 137: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

113

It has been mentioned earlier the digital controller contains

proportional + integral terms. Figure 6.30 shows the step response of

the system using different integral gains. Note that by increasing K1,

the overshoot increases, the number of oscillations also increase, but

the rise time decreases. When the proportional gain Kp is increased,

the rise time reduces as does the overshoot (Figure 6.31). In Figure

6.32, the step response or the system is shown when using a PI

controller; the upper trace is position, while the lower one being motor

speed. The effect of external disturbances on the system (speed and

position) is shown in Figure 6.33.

* The use or three-term controller PID (by adding derivative action to the

PI setting) produced only alittle change in the system performance.

Figure 6.34 shows three responses; one is for the PI controller, the

other being those for the PID unit. It is clearly seen that varying Kd

(0.01-0.3) has only relatively small effect on the response.

result derivative action was not used in the control loop.

6.4 Computer Aided Tuning

As a

When tuning up a plant using conventional methods the operator

initially sets the P,I,D terms to 'guessed' safe values which are usually

based on open-loop testing, mathematical analysis, or experience with similar

systems. The system is then activated in closed loop and subjected to

(usually) time domain testing. Its responses to these tests are observed

and if they fail to meet the desired system criteria, the tuning terms are

re-adjusted (Figure 6.35). This process continues in an interactive fashion

until the 'best' possible performance is achieved.

Such techniques are time consuming, its success depending to a great

Page 138: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

114

extent upon the skill, experience and knowledge of the operator. The object

of the Computer Aided Tuning methods developed here is to minimise the skill

element and speed up the tuning process.

The basic concept behind this technique is described in section 6.3,

but the tuning technique is outline'd here for completeness.

Initially the system sets the control algorithm coefficients to

predetermined, safe, values which will also ensure system stability. The

operator then subjects the closed loop to a set of test signals, adjusting

the tuning until a satisfactory response is obtained. He is guided through

this phase by the "supervisor" within the controller, interacting with the

system via the VDU (Figure 6.36 ). Operator's tuning commands are expressed

in terms of system responses (e.g. overshoot, rise time). There is no need

to adjust the actual algorithm coefficients; these are handled by the

computer Aided Tuning (CAT) algorithm.

The turning system has to have an inbuilt set of rules so that it can

adjust the PID coefficients in the correct manner. These rules were

developed using the plant simulation described in Appendix c.

Using the transfer function test results obtained by the analogue

controller (Sections 6.2.1, 6.2.2) a mathematical model of the actuator was

developed.

A digital simulation of this model was developed and modified until

its performance was identical to that of the real actuator. Once this had

6.5 Plant Simulation

As described previously, a model of the actuator system (the 'plant')

was implemented on a Multics mainframe computer in order to derive the CAT

rules. This is described in detail+ in appendix c. A series of model and

plant response were carried out to validate the simulation goodness, typical

results being given in Figures 6.42 and 6.43.

Figure 6.42 shows step response test results for both the plant and

the model with unity gain settlings. It is clear from the figure that they

are in a good agreement, where the very small steady state error is due to

mechanical stiction. Figure 6.43 -shows a PI controller where the

proportional setting is unity gain and the integral gain value is 0.3. Once

more agreement between the plant and model is very good, the main difference

being in the overshoot amplitude.

CHAPTER 7

7 Software Design and Development

7.1 Introduction

The function of the software described here is to implement digital

control algorithms for. the closed loop control and tuning of the electric

actuator using the methods shown in section 6.3.2 and 6.4. The source code

is mainly written in CORAL 66, a high level language, with assembler being

used for specialised applications. There are three advantages in using a

high level language; speed of development, problem orientation of the source

language, and inherent structure. Although assembly code executes faster on

the process, actual software development is significantly faster when using a

high level language since it is oriented towards the problem to be solved. 63

CORAL 66 was designed in 1966 by the Royal Radar Establishment

primarily for use in embedded processor systems. The details of the

language are covered in references (64,65 1 66). As such it incorporates some

useful facilities not found elsewhere such as good bit level manipulation and

the in-line insertion of 'CODE' (i.e. assembler) statement. This makes for

easier machine dependent coding in areas such as interrupt handling, time

critical functions, etc.

1.2 Software Structure And Development

The software is organised as a sequence of blocks. Any section of

code which is compiled separately is known as a segment, where each segment

may consist of one or more blocks. The software structure of the digital

controller comprises of a main program segment, sub-main program segment and

five functional segments. The sub-main program contains modifications

implemented during development work and is separated from the main program to

Page 172: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

147

decrease working time, whilst each functional segment consist of many

specialised individual procedures which are available for execution by the

main program, sub-main program or by procedures within the same or other

segments (Figure 7.1).

Any embeded program must contain absolute addressing information; in

CORAL this is declared in the Absolute communicators section of the program.

Multisegment programs which share common information must contain a common

·communicators section for declaration of procedures and global variables.

The communicators here in the software structuring are called into use via a

CORAL command called "Library". Using this feature of declaration minimises

the likelihood of producing errors when modifying the communicators sections.

Three library files are used; one contains the absolute communicators for

the digital controller unit, the second one contains the Common communicators

for procedures and the third one holds the global variables used and their

type, i.e. Byte, Integer and Floating.

In this method of structuring each segment can be developed, modified

and compiled individually without touching the others. Each functional

segment holds a set of logically related procedures which, once they are

proven to work correctly on the .hardware, are fixed, i.e. software

modifications are not allowed.

After compiling and assembling each segment separately, their object

files are linked together with the maths Library (Figure 7.2) forming one ~

object file, the main program being the first one linked in. The following

stage is to locate the final object file, that is the CODE, DATA and STACK

areas of memory are defined and all absolute addresses are generated.

Eventually the object file is sent to the EPROM programmer for PROM blowing.

7.3 Digital Control Unit

(a) Microcomputer Board memory Map.

Figure 7.3 shows the memory map of the microcomputer board, where the

addresses of the peripherals are nested to avoid overlapping. Addresses

OOOOH up to 0047H are reserved for the interrupt vectors of the 8085

processor.

(b) Analogue Input Section And. Interface Board Memory Map.

It has previously been explained in Section 4.3.4, that addressing

the ADC and peripherals in the interface board is performed through an 8155

Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) (Figure 7.4a). Addressing these

peripherals is performed via port C (4 Bit address,RD and WR) and transfering

of data is performed via port A, where RD and WR signals are generated by

software. Figures 7.4b and c show examples of data transfer on the

peripheral bus. The memory map of the Analogue Input Section and the

interface board is shown in Figure 7.5.

7.4 Calibration of Input And Output Sections

7.4.1 ADC Calibration

.Initial calibration of the ADC for both offset and gain settings, is

carried out manually using trimming resistors connected to the converter chip

(Figure 7.6). This is done to ensure that the ADC doesn't exhibit overflow

or underflow, i.e. more than FFFH or below OOOH. Thus once the zero offset

and gain are adjusted the ADC output will attain its

To simplify setting up operations, the operator

"ideal" characteristic.

is assisted by the

microcomputer itself. When calibration is initiated channel 3 of the

multiplexer (the zero signal) is selected first and a start conversion

command is applied to the ADC. At the end of conversion the data output from

Page 174: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

149

the ADC is displayed on the VDU and the sequence is then repeated. The

operator trims the zero offset control until the displayed digits flicker

between OOOH and 001H. Then a carriage return key is hit to make the

program transfer to the next stage where the same procedure is carried out

but using channel 4, the 10V reference signal, of the.multiplexer. Once the

gain is adjusted the carriage return key is again operated, so transferring

the program into the DAC adjustment phase (see later).

Unfortunately due to changes in ambient temperature and time the ADC

transfer characteristics change; hence periodic re-adjustment 1s needed in

practical industrial systems. To eliminate any fUrther manual.intervention

an automatic self-calibration technique is implemented.

The characteristic of the ADC is shown in Figure 7.7, where response

(1) represents the ideal one and response (2) represents the characteristic

of the ADC after manual trimming. These offset and gain settings are

deliberately introduced to enable the implementation of the automatic

calibration techniques mentioned above.

By using software correction methods, the characteristic response (1)

can be obtained. It operates as follows:

For the trimmed characteristic (2), the slope is,

Ma= 10 (7.1) ADCFR- ADCZE

Now correction to any digitised analog signal is applied using the

relationship;

Corrected Value = (Input Value - DACZE) • Ma (7.2)

Note that by using of the zero and the 10 volts referance signals, the

processor periodically checks the current values of ADC offset and gain.

Page 175: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

150

Hence changes in these parameters can be accounted for in the digitisation

process.

7.4.2 DAC Autocalibration-Wrap-Round Test

Due to the analogue components connected to the DAC output for

buffering purposes, the analogue signal coming out from the analogue output

section of the microcomputer board may not be correct. In particular the

circuit may·produce a negative voltage (instead of zero volts) when the DAC

input is OOOH and an overflow voltage (more than 10 volts) for an input of

FFFH. In this design errors are eliminated by the use of a wrap-round

autocalibration test carried out in software using the analogue input section

(Figure 7.8). The actual characteristic of the DAC, which is a hardware

design feature, is shown in Figure 7.9 (response 2), where its lower value is

a small negative voltage and its maximum value is more than 10 volts. The

autocalibration test changes the reset characteristic to the calibrated one

(Figure 7.9 response 1). Then the minimum value is equivalent to OOOH and

the maximum value to FFFH (4095 decimal).

The procedure for the wrap-round autocalibration is developed as

shown in the flowchart of Figure 7.10; it works in the following way:

The output of each DAC to be calibrated is selected via the multiplexer

and the ADC of the analogue input section. To calculate the negative offset

output voltage of the DAC, an input of OOOH is applied to it and its output

is read back again via the ADC. An adding of one bit at a time to the DAC,

read by the ADC and displayed to the VDU is carried out recuresively until

001 is read by the ADC. This offset value is stored in a memory address

called DACZE. Then the same procedure is carried out for maximum data

calibration, where FFFH is ·applied to the DAC, decremented by 001H at a time

Page 176: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

151

until FFEH is read by the ADC. The last value outputed via the DAC is

stored in a memory address called DACFR.

These two values are used as offset and gain correction terms for DAC

output signals, where

Offset = DACZE

Gain(G) = 1 0 (7.3)

DACFR- DACZE

Then, Corrected Output = (Intial Output • G) + Offset.

7.5 Software Functioning

7.5.1 Manual Tuning of the PID Controller

The digital control algorithm sequence is shown in the flow chart of

Figure 7.11, its operation being as follows:

• Block 11.1

The program sequence starts with the main program initialising the

system. This block consists of writing zero data in memory addresses

that are reserved for storing data, calibrates factors and programs the

timers used in the controller. Then the serial communication section is

programmed to write and read text to and from the VDU.

• Block 11.2

The operator enters the gains for the three term controller (Kp, Ki and

Kd) and the sampling time (ST) of the control loop.

• Block 11.3

Calculation of the factors K1, K2 and K3 (the control algorithim

coeffecients) is carried out here using equation 5.11.

Page 177: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

152

• Block 11.4

The operator is required to enter the type or signal, step or ramp, which

is to be used in testing the system,

by the software,

• Block 11.5

Calibration for ADC and DAC is carried out and its action is displayed on

the VDU.

• Block 11.6

The actuator is moved under processor control to a position where its

• Block 11.7

The test ror the. actuator starts by reading the demanded kind or input to

be applied to the actuator.

• Block 11.8

For a step function input, its quantity is introduced by

then a comparison between the actual and the demanded

• Block 11.9

The output from the controller is calculated (U0 ) and applied to the

plant, whilst Un becomes an old command (written as Un-1 ) prepared for

the following calculations.

• Block 11.10

Here the timing for the interrupt RST 7,5 is set and enabled, which when

it is active, calls for the interrupt service routine,

• Block 11.11

A command to the plant is generated here.

• Block 11.12

Page 178: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

153

The processor waits until interrupt RST 7,5 is activated,

• Block 11 , 13

This performs the RST 7.5 interrupt service routine which starts the

conversion .of the ADC, for a new feedback' sample from the actuator's

sensor. During conversion time of the ADC which takes around 12 msec.,

the calculations and preparation for a new command takes place,

• Block 11.14

This consists of writing errors en_1 in en-2 and en in en-1 for the next

sample preparations.

• Block 11, 15

The program here either performs for ramp or step test with a limiting

output analogue value of 5 volts,

* Block 11.16

The error of sample n-1 (en_1 ) is multiplied by K2, added to error n-2

factor (K3 e,..2 ) , added to the previous command applied to the motor (Un-1l

and the result of this process is stored in memory,

• Block 11 • 17

The program waits here for the ADC to finish conversion.

• Block 11.18

The output data from the ADC {i,e, the actual shaft position) is

subtracted from the demanded position, multiplied by K1, and its result

is added to the process result of Block 10.16.

• Block 11.19

Here Un is checked, Its absolute value sets the motor speed command

while its sign determines motor direction,

• Block 11. 20

Un command is sent to the motor and the program loops back to the

procedure starting from Block 11.12.

7.5.2 Computer Aided Tuning of the PID Controller

The flow chart for this controller is shown in Figure 7.12, the

program functioning as follows;

• Block 12.1

The program sequence starts here and comprises of writing zero data in

memory addresses reserved

programs the timers used

for

in

storing

the

data, calibrates

controller. Then

factors and

the serial

communication section is programmed to write and read text· to and from

the VDU.

• Block 12.2

The sampling time is entered here by the operator.

• Block 12.3

The primary tuning for PI controller is selected here by getting Kp and

Ki from the memory.

• Block 12.4

Calculation of the factors K1 and K2 is carried out here using equation

s .. a.

• Block 12.5

The calibration for ADC and DAC is carried out and its action is

displayed on the VDU.

• Block 12.6

The actuator is moved under program control to a position where'its shaft

settles at the middle or the stroke.

The same procedure is carried out here from Block 12.7 up to Block 12.16

as in Section 7.5.1 from Block 11.9 up to Block 11.18 excluding Block

Page 180: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

155

11.5 and the factor (K3 Un-2l they are not used.

• Block 12.17

Here Un is checked, if it is less than zero, then its absolute value is

taken and motor direction is reversed. Also here a rule is implemented

when there is a demand by the operator to change the settling time (this

is explained later in this section).

• Block 12.18

Un command is produced and applied to the motor.

• Block 12.19

Here the number of loops (samples) is compared to 1500; if it is not

equal then the. program sequence returns before Block 12.6, and otherwise

it transfers to implement the CAT algorithm.

When the actuator reaches its demanded position the software program

transfers to the MMI-CAT implementation. The main program logic of this

application is shown in Figure 7.12, where, on entry to the program, the

actuator response is modified or left unchanged. If it is to be changed

three parameters may be adjusted; rise time, overshoot and settling time.

Each one of the chosen parameters is classified within four zones of change,

as follows:

Decisions concerning these changes are made by the operator but

algorithm tuning is carried out automatically by the software. The blocks

X, Y and Z of Figure 7.12 are expanded to give the flow chart shown in Figure

7.13. The decision rule for tuning Kp and Ki that is taken from Blocks X, Y

and Z are shown in Figures 7.14, 7.15 and 7.16 respectively.

A photograph for the complete controller Set-Up is shown in figure

CHAPTER 8

8 Conclusion

The conclusion arising from the project described in this thesis,

together with suggestion for future extension of the work, may be summarised

as:

(a) Conclusion And Comments

The experimental investigation and the results presented in Chapter

3, 4 and 6 show clearly that the pulse width modulated position

control system developed in the research work offers an attractive

possibility for use with fractional horsepower induction motors.

2 The use for Power FETs in the inverter eliminates the need for forced

commutation, and solves the problem of trapped energy inherent in

other switching based systems. The drives of the power switches are

simple, low cost, and small in size.

3 Since both the voltage and frequency of the power circuit can be

controlled, it offers a significant advantage for zero speed torque

boosting to accommodate high stiction problems and for high inertial

loadings.

4 PWM inverter techniques enable either continuous or digital closed­

loop control methods to be used in the actuator system.

5 Accurate closed-loop control of the actuator can be achieved by the

use of a PI algorithm implemented ·on a microprocessor based

controller, the steady state error being less than 39 micrometers for

a well tuned system (i.e. equal to 0.036% of full stroke range).

The microcomputer, based on an 8 Bit microprocessor, is a simple

controller, which doesn't require the use of special maths eo­

processors or similar devices to attain this performance.

173

6 Transfer function analysis testing methods proved to be easy and

simple to use, the results so obtained leading to the development of

an accurate mathematical model of the plant, Using this model for a

computer simulation of the plant facilitated-the evaluation and

development of control tuning strategies,

7 Computer aided tuning has been shown to be a technique having

significant practical potential, When implemented correctly it

enables an inexperienced operator to tune the plant for the best

attainable closed loop purpose; moreover it eliminates the need for

the operator to have an understanding of control theory. It can be

used for actuators ___ other than the· experimentral one without the need

to change the in-built software parameters.

8 On-line MMI proved to be a very powerful tool for the development and

debugging of the software functions, setting up the system, and fault

investigation and diagnosis. It is essential to incorporate MMI

facilities for the use of CAT methods_for system set-up.

{b) Suggestion For Further Work

1 Develop software to allow frequency response testing to be carried

out by employing the digital controller, eliminating the ,need for

external measuring equipment {TFA).

2 Implement an on-line identification scheme for the plant to be

carried out using time domain methods in both open and closed loop

operation.

3 Develop tuning methods for the actuator which minimise operator

involvement.

4 Extend the work to cover non-linear modes of operation.

5 Develop general purpose ex p-art system tuning 67

methods for

actuator/servo control systems,

(c) Comments on Problems

Problems were associated with the work, the major one being that of

electrical noise and interference affecting the microprocessor

hardware; this· caused malfunctioning to microcomputer board. Noise

was picked up from the keyboard, the power system and the inverter.

The other main problem was backlash in the mechanical shaft which

produced a non-linear effect in the control system, As a result the

system exhibited a small steady-state error unless very fine tuning

was adopted,

again using a constant forming voltage. TI1is ensures that any spots where tile dielectric layer is missing, such as the edge or the cut roil, are anodically oxidised. The

"'reforming process results in a capacitor with an extremely low leakage current. .

The capacitor is then insulated in a plastic· sleeve berore being finally inspected and tested.

CAPACITOR DESIGN AND RIPPLE CURRENT RATING

A ripple current 1, will result in a rate or heat generation substantiaUy equal to J1,R, where R is the errective series resistance. To produce a capacitor with a high ripple current rating thererore requires a low errective series resistance and efficient heat dissipation. From the above description, the rea tu res or the 114/115 series capacitors which contribute to their high ripple current rating can be summarised as rollows. • Multi-tab construction • l.Dw-resistance electrolyte • Good thermal contact between winding and can

(rilled can construction) Details or the rated ripple currents ror the 385 V 115

series electrolytic capacitors are given in Table 2. (For run details or the complete 114/11 5 series, see published data). The maximum ripple current is dependent on ambient temperature and frequency, and the influence of these two faciors is now considered.

Ambient temperature

Tite lire expectancy or an electrolytic capacitor is deter· mined principally by its core temperature, and the 114/ liS series capacitors are designed to operate at a maxi· mum core temperature of 95°C. The core temperature will be determined by the ambient temperature and the heating errcct or the ripple current. Tite 114/115 series capacitors are rated at an ambient temperature of 85°C. and at this temperature the rated ripple current therefore COIHrihutes a temperature rise at the capacitor core of

0

I 0 C. At lower amh_ient temperatures, the maximum allowable ripple current (giving a core temperature of 95°C) will contribute a greater temperature rise at the core, and will therefore be greater than the rated ripple current. The 1:naximum ripple at an ambient temperature T is related to the rated ripple current {at 85°C) by:

IR J( 951-0T) lr(T,95) = (2)

where lr!T ,9!' 1 is the maximum ripple current at an ambient temperature T and a core temperature 95°C. IR

RELIABILITY

188

The 114/115 series capacitors are the result of an exten­sive programme of development and testing. As such, they are highly reliable and if properly selected will give long and predictable service.· As with aU components, however, some failures will occur during the designed service life. For 114/115 series capacitors, this rate of failure is extremely low and relatively constant, and is an indication of reliability.

After a certain time, gradual changes in the properties of the capacitors reach a point signified by a sudden and marked increase in the failure rate. The time taken for this to occur is a measure of the life expectancy of the capacitors.

Fig.7 shows a curve of failure rate as a function of time. The curve can be divided into three distinct zones:

A) failures during manufacture and bum-in procedure (infant mortality);

B) failures during service life; C) failures at the end of useful life (wear-out period).

For 114/115 series electrolytic capacitors, the failure

Fig.7 Failure rate as a function of time

rate during service life (60% confidence level) at 40°C and rated voltage is I X 10"7 /b (catastrophic failures). Temperature and voltage derating have a relatively small influence on this figure. A voltage derating of 50% reduces the failure rate by a factor of approximately 4.5, while a reduction in ambient temperature of approxi· mately 15° c reduces it by a factor of 2.

SERVICE LIFE

As indicated above,the life expectancy/service life (region B of Fig.?) is largely determined by the core tempera­ture, and for capacitors operated at the maximum core temperature of 95°C, the life expectancy is typically 10 000 h. By lowering the core Jemperature the life expectancy can be extended, each ro•c reduction in the core temperature resulting in a doubling of the life expectancy. Thus a core temperature of85°C gives a life expectancy of about 20 000 h, while a core temperature of 5o•c gives a life expectancy of Some 200 000 h, equivalent to approximately 25 years of continuous operation. The guaranteed lifetime (standard endurance test) is 5000 hat an ambient temperature of 85°C.

A specified extended life expectancy can be obtained by selecting a capacitor to operate at the appropriate core temperature. The method of capacitor selection is best illustrated by an example.

I, = 2.7 A.

To obtain an extended life expectancy of 40 000 h, a capacitor must be selected that will have a maximum core temperature of 75°C, when operated with a ripple current of 2.7 A (referred lo 100Hz), at an ambient temperature of 6o•c. The maximum allowable ripple current for an ambient temperatUre T and a core temper· ature 0. l,cT.O)• can be obtained by generalising Eq.2 to

APPENDIX C

Computer Simulation

The digital simulation formulas for the PID controller are derived

from the equations given in section 5.4 equation, where the model as it was

defined as an integrator, gives the transfer function below:

G(s) = Y(s) U(s) =

K s (C. 1)

where K is the plant gain, Y(s) is the output and U(s) is the input signal to

the plant. Figure C.1 shows the transfer function of the controller which

is inserted in series to the plant. The error produced from the set point

and the actual value of the position is multiplied by the controller transfer

function to form the signal applied to the plant. The transfer function·of

the controller is given by:

D(s) =

,. U(s) E (s)

where E(s) is the input error to the controller.

(C.2)

Using the bilinear transformation method, the z-transform of the

model (Figure C.2) is given by:

xi& G(z) = u(z) = .!*K* 2

(l+z-1) -1

(1-z )

where T is the sampling time, and U(z) = D(z) e(z)

!. * ( ) T -1 -1 Y(z) = 2 K * u z + 2 * K * u(z) * z + y(z)*z

(C.3)

(C.4)

Page 266: Microprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators · PDF fileMicroprocessor control of electro-mechanical actuators ... Metadata Record: ... or phase controlled rectifier systems

241

Equation C.4 can also be written in the sampled time form leads to,

(C.5)

where n represents the present sample at time t.

Un(t) is the output signal applied to the model after being calculated from

equation 5.10 which it is

(C.6)

Figures C.3- C.17 represents the behaviour of the plant at variable

amounts of PID gains, where the K of the model is fixed at 0.2. ·
