Abstract

This paper proposes an anti-sway controller for two-dimensional overhead cranes. The controller is of the position-commanding type, i.e., it sends position commands to the position-controlled trolley, and it uses the sensor information of the payload sway angle. The position commands are determined so that the trolley tracks the desired position signal sent from an upper-level controller and also so that the payload sway is damped. The sway damping is realized by a leaky integral controller, which employs a high-pass filtered time integral of the sway angle. In addition, arbitrary limits can be imposed on the first and second derivatives of the position command, and thus it is applicable to cases where the desired position signal from the upper-level controller is nonsmooth or discontinuous. Due to these features, the controller is expected to be useful in both human-operated and autonomous systems. The controller was validated with a laboratory setup. This paper also presents an algorithm that can be attached to the proposed controller to prevent the overshoot, which can take place when the desired position signal is discontinuous.
