Abstract :
A balance beam with magnetic bearings is modeled. A robust sliding mode controller for magnetic actuators is presented. The hardware of the real time control system is described. The proposed control scheme is implemented using a Pentium II 450 MHz computer with real time Linux for a balance beam. Its effectiveness is verified through the comparative experiment results
