Microprocessor-Based Magnetic Position Control

Pages 474-479 | Received 23 Jul 1981, Published online: 10 Jul 2015
 

Abstract

The design and development of a suitable controller for controlling the position of a metallic body suspended freely in space under the influence of a magnetic field (from an electromagnet) are discussed. Since this system is dynamically very fast and unstable in nature, the controller structure is so designed that the stability conditions are satisfied. The controller is then realized using 8-bit microprocessor.
