| Abstract | Overhead cranes are widely used in industry factories for transporting a heavy loads, hazardous materials and building construction. The goal of the controlling is that to transfer a payload from one place to another place as fast as possible and without any causing swing angle while transferring a payload. However, ability to successfully move a payload without any causing swing angle by using an overhead crane is highly requirement of control system. On top of that depends on the operator operating skill where a simple mistake can be a serious accident, injury and fatality to the workers/operators and equipment’s. This thesis aimed to find an appropriate control algorithm strategies to manipulate the overhead crane automatically. For instance,
control the position of a cart travel along the horizontal axis within 1m long and
vibration of a payload. Propose of this study will be focus on two different things.
Firstly, will be implement a real physical model of an overhead crane in the ISE lab.
The secondly, will be focus on control system and design PD, PID and LQR controllers in order to control cart position and vibration of load swing angle. In addition, of this study is to find out how the control system prevent the hazards for people and equipment’s in and around of the workspace area. Moreover, to this thesis is to come up with the control system in order to automate overhead crane model system to achieve the operating goals. The controller will be apply two classical loops PD, PID and LQR controllers. Then, simplified and derived the dynamic mathematical model of an overhead crane. Simulation and actual physical modelling has been designed and develop program in Matlab Simulink software. Finally, will be compare results between simulation and real physical experiment |
