Multimotor Improved Relative Coupling Cooperative Control Based on Sliding-Mode Controller

To provide cooperative control under complex working conditions of a filling multimotor system, this paper proposes a relative coupling control strategy with a switching system structure. Firstly, a multistation transmission system composed of a filling motor and a transfer motor is designed according to different filling processes. Secondly, a stable sliding-mode surface common to the multimotor system is selected, and an equivalent sliding-mode controller corresponding to each motor is designed. Thirdly, public Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove that the switched system can move from any initial state to the common sliding surface of the system, thereby ensuring the asymptotic stability of the entire system. Simulation results show that this method has a more significant control effect on the system error of each motor in comparison with the traditional relative coupling control structure.
