Abstract | In most applications where motors control several degrees of freedom of a mechanical system, there is the necessity to implement protection that is able to stop the motors when the mechanical system reaches the extreme positions of its workspace. When the mechanical system is located in a hostile environment and/or when the limit positions define a complex surface, the protection strategy cannot be always implemented by simply placing sensors and limit switches in the proximity of the limit positions. We present in this paper a solution for the protection problem, which employs a model-based algorithm capable of estimating in real time the system state variables. The idea of the model-based protection scheme is to implement a model of the mechanical system forced by the emergency braking actions in order to predict, using the current estimated state of the system as initial condition, the trajectory of relevant system outputs, together with their uncertainties, during the braking transient. If the probability that the predicted output trajectories intercept the physical boundaries of the workspace exceeds a predefined threshold, the protection trips. With this approach, we aim to reach a greater exploitation of the system workspace than with a fixed-threshold algorithm, since in this case, the threshold is adapted to the current system state. In this paper, the aforementioned algorithm is developed for a particular application, namely, the protection of a set of steering microwave antennas placed in a hostile environment (hard vacuum condition, strong neutron and gamma radiation, and strong magnetic fields) inside a nuclear-fusion reactor. However, it is the opinion of the authors that the same procedure could also find good application in other systems that need protection with similar characteristics. Some simulations and preliminary test results will be also presented in order to better clarify how the protection works, and finally, some implementation issues will be discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
