Abstract

In this paper, the improvement of control performance for a magnetic levitation system is presented. The model of a single-magnet system with rail is derived. As a conventional controller, PID controller is designed and implemented. This controller has a narrow stability margin due to low-order controller structure so that it cause unstability for a flexible rail. So to improve the control performance and stability margin, a robust controller as a new controller is designed and implemented using a VME-based digital controller. As a result, the controller performance of the new designed controller is better than that of the conventional controller.
