Optimal Time Control for a Magnetic Levitation Linear Servo System

Abstract:

The paper presents a new way to control the feed speed of the magnetic levitation linear servo system by adopting optimal time control theory. The optimal switch curve is obtained by building the system model and determining the control variable, control condition and target function. According to the optimal switch curve, the system can realize the optimal control of the speed. The validity of the optimal control theory in this servo system has been proven by modeling and simulating in Matlab/Simulink. The simulation result shows that the execution efficiency of the magnetic linear servo system can be improved by applying the optimal control theory.
