The effectiveness and applicability of magnetic levitation systems need precise feedback control designs. A cascade control approach consisting of sliding mode control plus sliding mode control (SMC plus SMC) is designed to solve position control problem and to provide a high control performance and robustness to the magnetic levitation plant. It is shown that the SMC plus SMC cascade controller is able to eliminate the effects of the inductance related uncertainties of the electromagnetic coil of the plant and achieve a robust and precise position control. Experimental and numerical results are provided to validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the method.

Magnetic levitation systems are able to provide frictionless, reliable, fast and economical operations in wide-range applications. The effectiveness and applicability of these systems require precise feedback control designs because the magnetic levitation is an unstable process and have highly nonlinear dynamics. In this article, a robust sliding mode-based cascade control approach is proposed for effectively tracking the reference position of a magnetic levitation system. The magnetic levitation plant is described with electrical and mechanical models, and the control problems of these parts are treated with cascade controllers. An integral sliding mode and an output feedback sliding mode controllers are designed for use in the cascade loops. The performance of the sliding mode controllers is compared with a proportional-integral-velocity plus proportional-integral control structure. It is shown that the proposed control structure is able to provide a highly satisfactory tracking performance and can eliminate the effects of the inductance-related uncertainties and operating point originated disturbances. The experimental results are provided to validate the efficacy and feasibility of the approach.

Magnetic micromanipulators are capable of generating wide range of magnetic forces to manipulate magnetic microparticles for biomedical applications. In this study, a multipole magnetic micromanipulator system including electromagnets, driver circuitry and control unit is designed, modeled and implemented. The micromanipulator can produce a broad range of magnetic forces up to 25 pN on a single magnetic microparticle (1-10 mu m diameter) that is 5 mm away from the electromagnet core tip. Both linear and nonlinear controllers are designed and implemented, and the proposed nonlinear controller produces smooth control currents to assure closed-loop stability of the system with 1 s non-overshoot transient response and zero steady-state tracking error. The maximum output current of the driver circuitry is set to 1 A. The single particle at the center is moved at a speed of 5 mm/s. The fully automatic system can be utilized in applications related to single cell or microparticle manipulations.

Magnetic levitation systems are able to provide frictionless, reliable, fast and economical operations in wide-range applications. The effectiveness and applicability of these systems require precise feedback control design. The position control problem of the magnetic levitation can be solved with robust current control approaches. A cascade control approach consisting of PI-velocity plus sliding mode control (PI-V plus SMC) is designed to render high control performance and robustness to the magnetic levitation. It will be shown that the SMC designed for electrical part of the plant (current controller) is able to eliminate the effects of the inductance related uncertainties of the electromagnetic coil of the plant. Experimental results are provided to validate the efficacy of the approach.
