Title
Model-Free Precompensator and Feedforward Tuning Based on the Correlation Approach.
Abstract
High performance output tracking can be achieved by precompensator or feedforward controllers based on the inverse of the closed-loop system or the plant model. However, it has been shown that these inverse controllers can affect adversely the tracking performance in the presence of model uncertainty. In this paper, a model-free approach based on only one set of acquired data from a simple closed-loop experiment is used to tune the controller parameters. The approach is based on the decorrelation of the tracking error and the desired output and is not asymptotically sensitive to noise and disturbances. By a frequency-domain analysis of the criterion, it is shown that the weighted two-norm of the difference between the controller and the inverse of the plant model (or the closed-loop transfer function) can be minimized. The method is successfully applied to a high precision position control system. I. INTRODUCTION Two-degree of freedom controllers are largely used when disturbance rejection and reference signal tracking are bo th considered as closed loop performance criteria. In many cases, the feedback controller is first designed to ensure the robust stability and satisfy the disturbance rejection specification. Then, in the second step, a precompensator (Fig. 1) or a feedforward controller (Fig. 2) is designed to improve the tracking performance. If the plant model is perfectly known, this problem can be converted to a standard model matching problem and can be solved analytically or using the convex optimization algorithms. However, a perfect model of the plant is never available and a nominal model with some uncertainty bounds should be considered for the design (1).
