Description
Summary:Design and application of the robust and accurate position control for pneumatic cylinders based on the sliding-mode technique is presented by experimental investigations. The paper describes the model of the pneumatic cylinder and the three main design steps of the proposed control method. The aim of this paper is to investigate controlling pneumatic actuators using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) instead of micro-controllers chips. As PLCs are now involved in most industrial processes.
