Control of Hybrid Stepping Motor Drive Using Computational Verb PID Controllers

Abstract:

Thanks to the development of microprocessors, hybrid stepping motors have been widely used in many areas where they perform positioning operations. However, the stepping motor suffers from system variations, low performance and lack of adaptability to load variations, which slow down their responding speed of high-precision positioning operations. In this paper, a computational verb PID controller is proposed to control the position of a stepping motor drive. The simulation results show that the computational verb PID controller has better performances than conventional and fuzzy PID controllers. The simulation results also show that the responding speed and positioning accuracy of the controlled hybrid stepping motor were greatly improved. Computational verb PID controller has much less computational complexity than fuzzy PID controller.
