Event-triggered active disturbance rejection control of dc torque motors

With technological developments of power electronics and advanced control technology, servo systems have always been playing an increasingly important role in industrial engineering applications. For this reason, control algorithm design problems for servo systems received a lot of research attention in the recent years [1, 21, 24, 26, 29, 35]. In this chapter, we consider the problem of motion control of electrical motor systems and show how the proposed event-triggered ADRC in the earlier chapters of this book can be employed to achieve satisfactory results with a reduced average sampling rate. Through the results in this chapter, we also aim to exemplify how the developed theoretic results can be applied to solve a specific engineering design problem.
