Abstract

Speed control of an experimental pneumatic engine is used to implement and compare performance of different controllers. Firstly, the system static characteristics and transfer functions are identified so that controllers can be tuned and simulations can be done. Secondly, feedback, cascade and model free controllers are tuned, simulated and implemented. Finally, the controllers performances are compared and conclusions are drawn.
