'Constant in gain lead in phase' element-application in precision motion control

This paper presents a novel 'Constant in gain Lead in phase' (CgLp) element using nonlinear reset technique. PID is the industrial workhorse even to this day in high-tech precision positioning applications. However, Bode's gain phase relationship and waterbed effect fundamentally limit performance of PID and other linear controllers. This...

Tuning a Novel Reset Element through Describing Function and HOSIDF Analysis

The high-tech industry is pushing the motion system technology towards faster, more precise and more robust system. One of the keys to this growing demand is the advancement of motion control. To this day, Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) has been the workhorse for the industry system control. This is because PID is simple to design and...
