摘要
To deal with the inherent nonlinearity and open-loop instability of the electromagnetic suspension（EMS） system,a new nonlinear control method is proposed.The simulation results show that,for a PID controller,the over-shoot of the system response to an airgap step disturbance is about 3 mm,and the transient time is 6 s;however,for the proposed nonlinear controller,there is no overshoot and transient time within 2 s.The proposed method has a faster response and stronger robustness.With a designed bi-DSP suspension controller,this nonlinear control method was implemented on the Shanghai Urban Maglev Test Line（SUMTL） to validate its effectiveness and feasibility.
