Abstract
The paper deals with the design and experimental verification of a new control structure with reference model for the tension control in the technological processing line the stability of which is derived on basis of the second Lyapunov method. The properties of the proposed controller were verified by experimental measurement on a new concept of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation platform based on programmable logic controllers (PLC). The experimental measurements confirmed that the proposed control structure is robust over a wide range of controlled system significant parameters changes together with invariance and desired dynamics prescribed by the reference model.
