| Abstract: | The Pseudo-Derivative Feedback (PDF) algorithm is introduced into design ofelectro-hydraulic speed servos. With limited extra complexity in implementation of controller'selectronic circuits, the PDF control enables the electro-hydraulic speed servo to respond to astep command without steady-state error, and also to follow successfully a sinusoidal commandat the frequency higher than that the system resulted from traditional design can reach. Thenumerical example-based comparison in dynamic and static behavior shows also the PDF systemis superior to the traditional system in terms of both the capability of handling loads applied tothe system and the robustness to ignore variation and uncertainty of the parameters of thehydraulic valve-actuator unit in operation. |
