Abstract:
Transport systems with a spatially distributed control input are commonly used for the transport of material between different process stages and conditioning of the convoyed goods at the same time. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transport systems involve several actuator-sensor pairs along the transport path. In this paper, a model-based design approach for the control of MIMO transport systems is presented. The control task is defined by simultaneous setpoint changes of several control points along the transport path. For the control design, a Two-Degrees-of-Freedom control consisting of an inversion-based feedforward controller and a robust feedback controller is presented. Both controllers are designed in the frequency domain based on the linear time delay MIMO model of the transport systems.
