Reset Control for Vibration Disturbance Rejection

The high tech industry which requires fast stable motion with nanometer precision continues to mainly use PID which is limited by fundamental linear control limitations. Floor vibrations as disturbance significantly affect performance and their rejection is particularly affected by these limitations. Reset control has provided a promising alternative to surpass these, while simultaneously allowing the use of industry standard loop-shaping during design. However, the reset action introduced higher order harmonics can induce unwanted dynamics and negatively influence performance. This paper investigates two reset control strategies namely (1) band-pass phase lag reduction and (2) phase compensation to reduce the negative effects of higher order harmonics. The strategies are tested on a precision positioning stage for vibration rejection and the results show that phase compensation provides better performance compared to other tested strategies.
