Development of a Control Platform for the Magnetic Suspension System

A highly integrated open control platform for control algorithms development of magnetic suspension system is proposed based on MATLAB/Simulink, dSPACE and DSP. The schema and work principle of the control platform are presented. A robust H8controller as an example for the system is designed in detail to verify the control platform. Experimental results show that the control platform is successfully set up for carrying out research of complex control algorithms and education of control theory.
