| Summary: | Direct Current (DC) motors are widely used in robotic systems in case of their
simplicity, more accessible to be linear control and good speed controllability.
However, these systems still poor performance if not comprise with a controller.
Proportional Integral (PI) controller one of the most significant controllers that use to
improve the speed performance of DC motors. There are many researches have been
done to optimize PI controller based evolutionary algorithm, such as Genetic
Algorithm (GA). However, it has several drawbacks come from randomly searching
constraints that cause lousy optimization. There are very little studies to analyse the
influence of modifying initialization constraints on GA based PI controller problems
objectively. On the one side, the estimation Transfer Function (TF) of these motors is
considered a significant problem in most previous studies which causes bad controller
design, if the low estimation accuracy. Additionally, based on multi experiments that
applied to tune PI controller, it is not necessarily all simulation results based on tuning
gains such as negative values, are applicable in hardware design. On the other side,
there is little pay attention to improve the speed of the DC motor controller to be
measured in the microsecond unit. All of these problems have been considered in this
research to be fixing by proposing multi new methodologies. The main objective is to
improve the speed performance of DC motor based PI controller in terms of dead (td),
rise time(tr), settling times(ts) by estimating precise TF, improving GA performances,
and enhancing architecture design to be integrated on Field Programmable Gate
Array(FPGA). It is chosen three different direct current motors, and there are three
methodologies proposed. Firstly, to propose an accurate TF for the tested DC motors
by designing High Speed Motor Data Acquisition System (HSMDAQS) to collect data
in data to be imported into System Identification (Sys Ident). The obtained results
show that the TF achieved an accurate estimation by increasing the best fit to 95 %.
Secondly, is to improve the GA performance based PI controller, by Modified
Initialization Fitness Function (MIFF) to overcome the downsides of random searching. Afterward, it is suggested a new procedure to Optimize GA Parameters and
Operators (OGA_P0). Simulation results show that the proposed PI controller based
Improved GA (IGA) for motors 1,2,3 produces a better improvement for Reduction
Step Response Ratio (RSRR) compared with classical GA by 8,9,35 times and over
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) by 3,3,10 times. The third methodology is to
integrate the proposed controller on FPGA, using a new method to run the design
based simulink model. Experimentally, it is observed that the Steady State Time (SST)
to achieve maximum speed for motors1,2,3 minimized by 10.68%, 8.67%,3.91%
respectively, where the significant reduction is achieved in motor 2 to capture 4000
(Revolution Per Minute) RPM at 12.4μs. Finally, the PI controller based IGA
providing better speed performance to all experimental motors in terms of response
time characteristics to be measured experimentally in the microsecond unit. |
