Robust Neural Network Controller Design For A Biaxial Servo System

Abstract

ABSTRACT A robust control method for synchronizing a biaxial servo system motion is proposed in this paper. A new neural network based cross‐coupled control and neural network techniques are used together to cancel out the skew error. In the proposed control scheme, the conventional fixed gain PID cross‐coupled controller (PIDCCC) is replaced with the neural network cross‐coupled controller (NNCCC) to maintain biaxial servo system synchronization motion. In addition, neural network PID position velocity and velocity controllers provide the necessary control actions to maintain synchronization while following a variable command trajectory. This scheme provides strong robustness with respect to uncertain dynamics and nonlinearities. The simulation results reveal that the proposed control structure adapts to a wide range of operating conditions and provides promising results under parameter variations and load changes.
