Exploratory study on MIMO control for motion systems

This presentation gives an overview of the results of an exploratory study on multivariable feedback and feedforward control for electromechanical motion systems. Industrial cases\nare presented where multivariable control may be beneficial. Multivariable control problems due to plant interaction and coupling in external disturbances and performance parameters are studied. Tools are presented to quantify multivariable properties in practical multivariable systems. Also, it is demonstrated how scalar manual loopshaping techniques may be extended to handle multivariable control problems.
