  • Abstract
    An optimization procedure is presented which can be used for off-line system parameter estimation. The technique utilizes a model reference adaptive control configuration and an adaptive random search to identify the parameter values for an arc voltage control system of an automatic welding process. An 8-bit microprocessor is used to acquire data from the system, and a microprocessor development system performs the optimization routine.
