More Information
Summary:This paper describes an electromagnetic levitation experience developed at UFRJ using the real-time control toolbox available with MATLAB. This work shows the model used in the position control of a steel ball, the control design procedure and the prototype. The main application of this experience was focused in the vertical position control of a Maglev train system, also researched at LIFRJ.
