ROBUST AND FEEDFORWARD CONTROL FOR A NONLINEAR PNEUMATIC SERVOMECHANISM SYSTEM

Abstract

The actuator of the vane servo unit epitomizes the control operator of force in systems of missile control, where the character of its dynamic and static plays a significant role in the missile behavior. Therefore, improving the dynamic behavior for the vane servo actuator is of main interest for designing control and guidance system. The article describes a new method of analyzing the mathematical model of the nonlinear pneumatic servo with different design parameters and designing a controller with these parameters. The robust control regulates the system with different parameters, and it is the first controller to attempt this technique. A servo actuator of nonlinear and linear simulators was constructed by MATLAB software package. Feedback controllers with PI and PID were designed and tested theoretically. The setting time and the behavior of the dynamic will be improved. The robust feedforward control was applied to the system to improve the stability and zero steady-state error and compare the results with PI and PID controller. Their tests showed that robust control is the best control for stability among the others.
