dc.description.abstract | In this paper, a fuzzy logic based volume flow control method is proposed to precisely control the force of a pneumatic actuator in an electro-pneumatic system including four on-off valves. The volume flow feature, which is the relationship between the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation (PWM) period, pressure difference, and volume flow of an on-off valve, is based on the experimental data measured by a high-precision volume flow meter. Through experimental data analysis, the maximum and minimum duty cycles are acquired. A new volume flow control method is introduced for the pneumatic system. In this method, the raw measured data are innovatively processed by a segmented, polynomial fitting method, and a newly designed procedure for calculating the duty cycle is adopted. This procedure makes it possible to combine the original data with fuzzy logic control (FLC). Additionally, the method allows us to accurately control the minimum and maximum opening pulse width of the valve. Several experiments are performed based on the experimental data, instead of the traditional theoretical models. Only 0.141 N (1.41%) overshoot and 0.03 N (0.03%) steady-state error are observed in the step response experiment, and 0.123 N average error is found while tracking the sine wave reference. | en_UK |
