The Anti-Sway Crane Control System with Using Dynamic Vision System

Abstract:

The paper presents the mechatronic approach to design a robust anti-sway crane control system on the laboratory stand, physical model of an overhead traveling crane. The core of a problem in realizing the anti-sway crane closed-loop control system in industrial practice is the reliable technique of measuring swing angle of payload suspended on a rope. Thus, the contactless method utilizing dynamic vision system is proposed in the paper. The poles assignment-based method of fuzzy gain scheduling crane control system designing is applied to built the crane control scheme. The software and hardware equipment of laboratory stand allows to automate the process of prototyping the control system and built the control application based on the programmable logic controller (PLC).
