Abstract

AbstractIn this paper we present a novel adaptive robust control approach to the multivariable cross‐directional (CD) process of continuous web manufacturing. The common assumption of spatial frequency decomposition (SFD) is used to allow the process analysis in terms of a family of single‐input single‐output (SISO) transfer functions across the spatial frequencies. We then apply discretized Windsurfing adaptive robust control to each individual separated spatial frequency, starting with a stable initial model and a robust stabilizing controller at each spatial frequency. This approach allows the 2D bandwidth of the closed‐loop system to be increased progressively at each spatial frequency through an iterative relevant system identification and control design procedure. The method deals with both model uncertainty and measurement noise issues. Simulation results are given to illustrate the performance of the applied method. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
