Command Filtered Adaptive Backstepping Control for Dual-Motor Servo Systems With Torque Disturbance and Uncertainties

In dual-motor servo systems, several factors seriously affect the tracking performance especially in high-speed and high-accuracy situations, which include machinery flexibilities, torque disturbance, unmodeled dynamics, and motor parameter differences. Given these factors, this article investigates the command filtered backstepping synchronization control (CFBSC) method for a servo system driven by two motors synchronously. Command filters are used to deal with the virtual control signals in backstepping design process to avoid the computational burden causing by repeated derivatives, and a compensation system is applied to reduce the tracking error. Adaptive control is used to compensate the torque disturbance and unmodeled dynamics. In addition, the speed and torque synchronization control signals are designed to guarantee high synchronization performance. The stability of the dual-motor servo system is proved. And the effectiveness of the proposed controller is validated through experiments.
