A frequency response based adaptive control for center-driven web winders

A frequency response based adaptive control scheme with robust frequency-domain specifications for an industrial center-driven web winder is presented. The adaptive control scheme consists of: (1) a self-tuning initialization, (2) an adaptive control based on the transfer function estimation from frequency responses, and (3) supervisory monitoring and controls. In the paper, the system modeling is first investigated. Then the adaptive control scheme is described. Finally the simulation results are discussed and implementation issues are addressed.
