Control of the Weakly Damped System with the Embedded System Support

Abstract

This paper deals with the experimental verification of the importance of embedded systems with an applied MEMS sensor in controlling weakly damped systems. The aim is to suppress actively residual oscillations. The model of a planar physical pendulum with a prismatic joint was chosen for the experiment. The sensor made by MEMS technology, in which three-axis gyroscope and three-axis accelerometer are integrated, has been used for sensing the angle of deflection of the load from the equilibrium position. The simulation model represents the crane arm with a moving carriage.
