Exponential tracking control of servomotor used for ships

Abstract

Background: According to the fundamental importance of the tracking theory on technical systems (ship servomotor), the main goal of this paper is a further development of the theory and the application of the tracking, especially to the practical tracking concept. Results: The plant under consideration is an electro-pneumatic ship servomotor. This system is often applied as the final control element of a controller in automatic control systems. The correction device for the mentioned plant will be a digital computer. The mentioned control forces the observed plant output to track the desired output value with prespecified accuracy. In this paper the simulation results produced by practical tracking control algorithm on an electro-pneumatic servo system will be presented.
