Abstract

Electromagnetic linear actuators are widely used as drives in gas regulating valve, which is the key factor to determine the performance of the gas valve. In order to improve the performance of Electromagnetic direct-drive gas valve (EMDGV), a compound controller for non-repetitive point-to-point motions was proposed in this paper, combining with the advantages of Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC), Time-optimal control (TOC) and Sliding mode control (SMC). Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method has the characteristics of fast response and high precision, and can achieve soft landing control. The response time is less than 8 ms, the control accuracy is 0.02 mm, and the seating velocity is within 0.04 m/s. The proposed method also has strong robustness to actuator parameter variation and good anti-disturbance ability.
