Auto-tuning control of self-commissioning electric drives

This paper proposed a new auto-tuning self-commissioning (ATSC) control scheme for the positioning control of a DC drive for general-purpose servo applications. The ATSC controller consists of three major parts: a basic servo controller (BSC), an auto-tuning controller (ATC), and a self-commissioning controller (SCC). The proposed ATC is a generalized two-degree-of-freedom auto-tuning controller, it can be used to tune any two parameters of a controller without knowing its detailed control algorithm. The proposed ATSC control scheme has been applied to a DC drive for verification. Simulation and experimental studies of the ATSC DC drive have also been given
