Manufacturing equipment often require high-speed and high-precision positioning with long strokes. This study aims to utilize pneumatic cylinders for such equipment owing to their several advantages. One of the challenges in pressure and position control is valve nonlinearity, such as a varying dead zone. While the conventional feedforward dead zone compensation method cannot address variations in valve input-output characteristics, the twin-drive system, a feedback compensation method, can address the variations using a fast-response flowmeter. However, the disadvantage of the twin-drive system is that it is likely to cause saturation and windup. To solve this problem, we propose an anti-windup method for the twin-drive system. Experimental results indicate the proposed method avoids windup and enables accurate tracking control in the difference mode (i.e., mass-flow input to the tank). Moreover, the experimental results reveal that the proposed twin-drive system with the anti-windup structure improves the pressure tracking performance and enhances the pressure control system's linearity compared with those of the conventional feedforward compensation method.

This study analyzes and evaluates four transmission characteristics of the capacitive power transfer (CPT) with resonance coupling. A constant voltage source is used under all conditions. The target compensation topologies for the investigation are series-series (SS), series-parallel (SP), parallel-series (PS) and parallel-parallel (PP) topologies. The analysis results under the unified conditions describe the five transmission characteristics: (a) the equivalent maximum efficiency in four topologies, (b) the squared lower output power of the coupling coefficient of PS and PP topologies compared with those of SS and SP topologies, (c) the squared lower optimal loads of the coupling coefficient of SS and PS topologies compared with those of SP and PP topologies, (d) the constant unit power factor (CUPF) characteristics from the source in four topologies, (e) the constant current (CC) characteristics in SS and PP topologies, and the constant voltage (CV) characteristics in SP and PS topologies at the load variation around the optimal load. From these evaluations, both SS and SP topologies, which are superior in terms of the output power, are recommended when using the voltage source. Finally, the powering experiment in SS and SP topologies shows the effectiveness of these evaluations.
