IntroductionuOttawa.ca Introduction The three degree of free dome Twin Rotor Control System presented in this paper is an under actuated system with two actuators and three degrees of freedom. As shown from the simulated model and the open loop response, this system is unstable and nonlinear, given that one of the three outputs is unstable. Under this circumstance, a robust controller will be needed in future for this system in order to ensure the stability.

Open-Loop ModeluOttawa.ca Open-Loop Model We simulated the state-space model of Twin Rotor System. In this model, we put 2 inputs and 3 outputs and applied the same state-space values. After adding four scopes, we observed the output values.

INPUTS (1-2)uOttawa.ca INPUTS (1-2) Voltage to the main rotor( �� 1 �� 1 �� 1 ) & Voltage to the tail rotor (�� 2 (�� 2 (�� 2 ). It means that the voltages to both the main and tail rotors were set to be 1 unit.

Outputs (1-2-3)uOttawa.ca Outputs (1-2-3) The output h (Distance) increases with the input 1 unit. The results of output 2 and 3 were observed to be stable.

System Stability - Eigen Value Of The MatrixuOttawa.ca System Stability - Eigen Value Of The Matrix Two of the Eigen values are non-zero, which means that the system could be regarded as stable.

State-space Model DatauOttawa.ca State-space Model Data We created a state-space model object representing the continuous-time state- space model from the data of matrix A, B, C, and D, where �� �� = Ax + Bu, y = Cx + Du.

Controller DesignuOttawa.ca Controller Design We determined the state feedback gain matrix K of the Ackermann’s Formula. Given parameters for K were [-10 -11 -13 -15 -17 -18 -19 -20].

Slide24uOttawa.ca We created new A with our K value to find new controller design first.

Pole Placement DesignuOttawa.ca Pole Placement Design K = place(A,B,p) [K,prec,message] = place(A,B,p) Given the single- or multi-input system ˙x=Ax+Bu and a vector p of desired self-conjugate closed-loop pole locations, place computes a gain matrix K such that the state feedback u = –Kx places the closed-loop poles at the locations p. In other words, the eigenvalues of A – BK match the entries of p (up to the ordering).

The Open Loop Results Vs The Closed Loop ResultsuOttawa.ca The Open Loop Results Vs The Closed Loop Results •The open loop response shows that the one of the tree outputs is unstable, while the closed loop response shows that the system is stable after the controller is designed. •We can see that the open loop control system response is completely based on input and outputs do not affect the control action. For the closed loop control system, current outputs are under consideration and altered to the desired condition. In another words, the control action acts on the basis of outputs. •Given that an open loop control system works on fixed operation condition, no disturbance is considered. However, a closed loop control system has reaction on external disturbances.

ConclusionuOttawa.ca Conclusion Three degree of freedom Helicopter/Twin rotor control system has two inputs and three outputs is described in detail in this report. The modeling process starts with an open loop control system, whose response is simulated by SIMULINK. The results show that the system is not stable. In this case, we designed a controller and simulate the closed loop control system with MATLAB, which ensures the stability for the system. In summary, a closed loop control system is preferred to an open loop control system it terms of stability and sensibility.
