Modeling and control of Ball and Beam system

Author : Santosh Anand 1 Rajkishore Prasad 2

Date of Publication :13th September 2017

Abstract: In this paper mathematical modeling, control and dynamics of ball and beam system have been studied and presented. The ball and beam problem basic backbone of control system study due to its highly nonlinear behavior property and used in study of equivalent physical model. Due to Its equivalency property this model is safe for study of controlling the equivalent physical system in industrial and teaching applications. Ball and beam system consists of subsystem and process assembled for controlling the ball on beam using controlling the output process. The basic purpose of this model is control the ball on beam using proportional plus derivative controller design.
