DSP-based synchronous control of dual linear motors via Sugeno type fuzzy neural network compensator

A digital signal processor (DSP)-based complementary sliding mode control (CSMC) with Sugeno type fuzzy neural network (SFNN) compensator is proposed in this study for the synchronous control of a dual linear motors servo system installed in a gantry position stage. The dual linear motors servo system comprises two parallel permanent magnet linear synchronous motors (PMLSMs). The dynamics of the single-axis motion system with a lumped uncertainty which contains parameter variations, external disturbances and nonlinear friction force is briefly introduced first. Then, a CSMC is designed to guarantee the precision position tracking requirement in single-axis control for the dual linear motors. Moreover, to enhance the robustness to uncertainties and to eliminate the synchronous error of dual linear motors, the CSMC with a SFNN compensator is proposed where the SFNN compensator is designed mainly to compensate the synchronous error. Furthermore, to increase the control performance of the proposed intelligent control approach, a 32-bit floating-point DSP, TMS320VC33, is adopted for the implementation of the proposed CSMC and SFNN. In addition, some experimental results are illustrated to show the validity of the proposed control approach.
