The mechatronics project: checkpoints before results
도입됨| English | 의미 |
|---|---|
| Anti-windup | A method that stops the integral term growing while the actuator is saturated. |
| control/kənˈtrəʊl/ | Making a system's output follow a desired value, usually by measuring it and correcting the input. |
| overshoot/ˌəʊvəˈʃuːt/ | How far a step response goes past its final value, usually given as a percentage of the step. |
Show it meets the spec
- The course ends with a valve positioner that must move 90° quickly, stop exactly and hold against the water. The project shows, with traceable numbers, that it meets its spec, and where it does not.
- Write a spec with measurable metrics, simulate the full nonlinear model, compare candidates against every metric, and check the simulation first.
Put the project method in order.

Checkpoints come before any reported result.
Checkpoints for the simulation
- Three results are known without simulating: the saturated speed of 3.58 rad/s; P control stopping $3.0/134 = 1.29°$ short; and 4.6% overshoot for a small unloaded step at $\zeta = 0.7$.
- The simulation reproduces all three, so its other numbers are worth reporting.
P-only shortfall under load: 3.0/134 rad in degrees (two decimals)?

0.0224 rad.
Saturated speed 12 x 0.398 - 3.0 x 0.398 (two decimals, rad/s)?

9 V of useful drive.
The spec table
- Spec: 90° within $\pm0.5°$ by 0.6 s, overshoot below 5%, under a 5 N·m load.
- P only stops 1.29° short: fails. PI without anti-windup overshoots to 159°: fails.
- PI with clamping is inside the band at $\mathbf{0.52}$ s with no overshoot: passes, also when sampled at 1 kHz.

It reaches the band at 0.52 s without overshoot.
Limits, stated
- Without load, a small 5° step overshoots by 18%: the integral zero adds overshoot the load normally hides.
- Only 0.08 s of margin, and it depends on the supply: at 11 V the valve reaches the band at 0.58 s. Untested: encoder faults, sticking, and copper's +0.4%/K resistance.
Time margin of a 0.52 s result against a 0.6 s spec (two decimals, s)?

0.6 minus 0.52.
A passing design needs no stated limits.

The report must say where it stops being valid.
The move time by hand
- Slewing at the loaded rate limit, 90° takes $1.571/3.58 = \mathbf{0.44}$ s. The simulation's 0.52 s adds 0.08 s for the final, linear approach into the band.
- At 11 V the motor runs at $(11 - 3.04)/0.05 = 159$ rad/s, 3.18 at the valve: $0.49 + 0.08 = 0.57$ s against the simulated 0.58. A hand estimate this close is a second check on the simulation.
A 90° move at a rate limit of 3.58 rad/s: slewing time (two decimals, s)?

$1.571/3.58 = 0.439$ s.
Worked example: a hot motor
- After a long duty the windings are 50 K warmer. Copper's +0.4%/K raises $R$ by 20%, to 1.44 Ω.
- Under the same load the motor turns at $(12 - 2.54 \times 1.44)/0.05 = 167$ rad/s, 3.34 at the valve: the slew takes 0.47 s and the move about $\mathbf{0.55}$ s. It still passes, with 0.05 s of margin. Name the case in the report: it is a worst case the spec did not list.
Winding resistance 1.2 Ω at +0.4%/K, 50 K warmer: new resistance (two decimals, Ω)?

$1.2 \times (1 + 0.004 \times 50) = 1.44$ Ω.
With 1.44 Ω, 12 V and 2.54 A: valve speed through 50:1 (two decimals, rad/s)?

$(12 - 2.54 \times 1.44)/0.05 = 166.9$ rad/s; $/50 = 3.34$.
Three project slips
- A simulation never checked against a known result. Its numbers cannot be trusted.
- "Meets spec" without the margin. State how close it is.
- Only the passing candidate reported. Show every one.
Recap
- Checkpoints first: 3.58 rad/s, 1.29° short, 4.6% overshoot.
- Only PI with anti-windup passes: 0.52 s, no overshoot.
- Margins and limits are part of the result.
